China Received March 22, 2021; Accepted June 8, 2021 DOI: 10.3892/ijmm.2021.5001 Abstract. Nitric oxide (NO) is an ubiquitous signaling tooth movement. Orthodontic tooth movement is a process molecule that mediates numerous cellular processes associ‑ in which the periodontal tissue and alveolar bone are recon‑ ated with cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems. NO structed due to the effect of orthodontic forces. Accumulating also plays an essential role in bone homeostasis regulation. evidence has indicated that NO and its downstream signaling The present review article summarized the effects of NO on molecule, cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), mediate bone metabolism during orthodontic tooth movement in order the mechanical signals during orthodontic‑related bone to provide insight into the regulatory role of NO in orthodontic remodeling, and exert complex effects on osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. NO has a regulatory effect on the cellular activities and functional states of osteoclasts, osteocytes and periodontal ligament fibroblasts involved in orthodontic tooth Correspondence to: Professor Fang Huang, Department of movement.

Three isoforms of NOS have been identified: Neuronal NOS (nNOS) and endothelial NOS Key words: NO, cGMP, orthodontic tooth movement, bone (eNOS) are constitutively expressed calcium‑dependent remodeling, osteoblast, osteoclast enzymes, characterized by the rapid production of a small amount of NO; inducible NOS (iNOS) is a calcium‑independent enzyme that is upregulated at the transcriptional level during 2 YAN et al: NITRIC OXIDE IN ORTHODONTIC TOOTH MOVEMENT inflammation, causing a relatively slow yet increased‑output pressure side, the reduction of blood flow and the distortion NO production (2,3). The most common target of NO is of nerve endings in PDL may cause hypoxia and the release soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), which generates the second of vasoactive neurotransmitters, including substance P, calci‑ messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) from tonin gene‑related peptide (CGRP), and vasoactive intestinal guanosine‑5'‑triphosphate within the cell (4,5). cGMP mainly polypeptide. As a result, vasodilatation and the aggregation of acts on protein kinase G (PKG) and can be degraded by phos‑ circulating leukocytes, monocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes phodiesterase (PDE), such as PDE5, 6 and 9 (2,6). The effect and mast cells has been observed (22‑26). Growth factors, of NO on bone mass regulation and bone metabolism has been chemokines and other cytokines also contribute to these well investigated and reviewed elsewhere; however, studies processes (23,27,28). on the involvement of NO in orthodontic tooth movement are Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells, that initially differ‑ limited (7‑9). entiate from multipotential hematopoietic precursors in the Tooth movement induced by orthodontic force is achieved monocyte/macrophage lineage, upon macrophage‑colony through bone remodeling, as a result of the sequential stimulating factor (M‑CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear transduction of molecular signals and changes in cellular factor‑κΒ ligand (RANKL) stimulation, which are secreted behaviors (10,11). It is of utmost significance to determine primarily by cells of the osteoblast lineage (29‑35).

RANKL promotes the fusion, of therapy. NO is extensively involved in orthodontic‑related differentiation and bone resorptive function of osteoclasts biological events, such as aseptic inflammation, mechanical through the activation of RANK on the surface of osteoclast signal transduction and bone remodeling. Furthermore, the precursors (33,39,40).

In the present review, the RANK/RANKL signaling pathway (41,42). regulatory effects of NO on the functional states of related The aseptic inflammatory response caused by orth‑ cells and tissues during orthodontic tooth movement, as well odontic forces is indispensable for tooth movement (11,43). as the possible mechanisms involved are discussed, with the Interleukin (IL)‑1β, IL‑6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α aim of providing helpful insight towards the application of and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) can induce the release of effective therapeutic interventions in orthodontics.

Orthodontic tooth movement overview of osteoclastogenic factor expression, TNF‑α also activates osteoclast precursors directly through it binding to TNF Orthodontic tooth movement relies upon periodontal ligament receptor (32,48,49). PGE2 enhances the bone‑resorbing (PDL) and alveolar bone remodeling. The PDL is a dense activity of osteoclasts through the increase of intracellular connective tissue that plugs the tooth to the adjacent alveolar cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels or the partial bone (14,15). It contains collagen fiber bundle, blood vessel, mediation of TNF‑α (50). Mature osteoclasts occupy small nerves, interstitial fluids and multiple cell types, including cavities termed Howship's lacunae, in which hydrogen ions fibroblasts, osteoclasts, osteoblasts and macrophages (10,14). and proteolytic enzymes are released, including cathepsin K The alveolar bone consists of bone cells (osteoclasts, osteo‑ and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), in order to degrade blasts and osteocytes) and the mineralized matrix (14,16). The the bone matrix (39,51,52). When the magnitude of the force force applied to the tooth triggers cell‑signaling cascades in decreases, osteoclasts become inactive and detach from the the PDL and the alveolar bone, leading to tissue remodeling bone (53). and tooth movement (11,17). Orthodontic tooth movement can be organized into three Tension side: Osteoblasts and bone formation.
