PG - 372-377 LID - 10.1002/cbf.3284 [doi] AB - The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is an atypical serine/threonine protein kinases involved in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/P70S6 K signalling pathway. P70S6 K as a downstream molecule of mTOR is activated by phosphorylation and subsequently promotes the synthesis of ribosomal and translational proteins. In this study, we investigated the role of PI3K, Akt, and P70S6 K in human periodontal tissue remodelling during orthodontic loading. The prepared tissue specimens taken from 4 extracted premolars were processed for immunolabelling. The changes in the expression of PI3K, Akt, and P70S6 K in the periodontal tissues were detected by real-time quantitative-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. The results from real-time quantitative-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot both showed that the expression of PI3K, Akt, and P70S6 K in the experimental group began to increase at 3 days and increased significantly at 10 days, then decreased approaching the control group level at 28 days. Our findings showed that the expression of PI3K, Akt, and P70S6 K in human periodontal ligament demonstrated a variability during the orthodontic loading, which suggested that the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/P70S6 K signal pathway was involved in orthodontic tooth movement and played a role in the process of periodontium remodelling.
