PG - 1047-52 AB - In the early stage of orthodontic tooth movement, an acute inflammatory response characterized by the migration of leukocytes occurs. This response suggests the presence of specific chemotactic signals that may play a role in the mechanism of bone remodeling, in particular in resorption. The aim of the present study was to explore the induction of potential chemokines at the resorption side during orthodontic tooth movement. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) were examined by in situ hybridization using radioactive synthetic oligoneucleotide probes. Mesial movement of the upper first molars was performed with a fixed appliance for 3, 7, and 10 days. The results demonstrated that MCP-1, RANTES, and MIP-2 were highly expressed during orthodontic movement. On day 3, MCP-1 showed maximum induction in the pressure zone, followed in intensity by RANTES and MIP-2, although not in the contralateral control side. The induction of these chemokines had declined on day 7 and reached low levels on day 10. Our data suggest that chemokines are induced early in the application of force, and such induction may contribute to the early inflammatory response that may be responsible in part for the ensuing bone remodeling.
