Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects of cyclic-tension strain on the expression of LIF and LIFR in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLC), and to illustrate the molecular mechanism underlying orthodontic periodontal tissue remodeling. Methods: In this study, HPDLC were subjected to 18% elongation by strain unit at 0.1Hz for 48h and 72h. The expressions of LIF, LIFR, and ALP mRNA were measured by real-time quantitative RT-PCR. Morphological changes were observed after mechanical stress. Results: Cells inclined parallel to each other and aligned their long axis perpendicular to the stretching force vector. The status was more and more transparent with extension of time. qRT-PCR showed that mRNA expression of LIF, LIFR, and ALP changed upon the stimulation. The expressions of LIF and LIFR were increased dramatically (P<0.01) and the expression of ALP was decreased significantly (P<0.01) after 72h. Conclusion: LIF and LIFR may play an role in periodontal tissue remodeling induced by orthodontic therapy.
