Figure S1. Here is a picture on orthodontic tooth movement. The maxillary central incisor
of the mouse is shown on the left side. In addition, the device was placed on the maxillary
left first molar in this study. The device was drilled just below the maxillary central incisor
in the anterior region and a wire was ligated. For the molars, a wire was passed through
the interdental space between the maxillary left first molar and second molar, and the
device was ligated.
Figure S2. TNFR1 and TNFR2 expressed on PDL cells in WT mice but not TNFRs KO
mice. Harvested maxillae from WT and TNFRs KO mice were fixed overnight in 4%
paraformaldehyde (diluted in PBS). Samples of maxillae were decalcified in 14%
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at room temperature for 1 month. The EDTA
solution was changed every 2 days. Decalcified maxillae were put in histological cassettes
and place them in a bag. Immerse the samples in 1000 mL of 30% ethanol, 70% ethanol,
80% ethanol, and 90%ethanol for 1 h each, 1000 mL of 95% ethanol for 3 hours, 1000
mL of 100% ethanol twice for 7 h and 12 h each, 1000 mL of xylene three times for 0.5
h, 1 h and 1.5 h each for dehydration, and then 1000 mL of liquid paraffin (56 °C) twice
for 7 h and 12 h each in an automatic tissue processor connected to a chemical hood to
allow the xylene to evaporate. Horizontal sections of the samples were cut at a thickness
of 4 µm. Sections of maxillae were taken at approximately 150 µm from the root branch
of the upperleft first molar. For immunohistochemistry, maxillae paraffin sections were
deparaffinized, rehydrated, and treated with 0.3%H₂O₂ in PBS for 15 minutes. Sections
were then blocked with 5% skim milk for 30 minutes at 37°C and treated with antiTNFR1 polyclonal antibody (rabbit polyclonal, 21574–1-AP, Proteintech, Rosemont, IL)
and anti-TNFR2 polyclonal antibody (rabbit polyclonal, 19272-1-AP, Proteintech,
- 31 -
Rosemont, IL) diluted to 1:50 in Can Get Immunostain solution B (Toyobo, Osaka, Japan),
overnight at 4°C. Sections were rinsed, then processed with VECTASTAIN Elite ABC
Kit PK 6101 (Vector, Burlingame, CA, USA) and treated with 3,3’-diaminobenzidine.
Hematoxylin was used for counterstaining. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that
there were TNFR1-positive cells and TNFR2-positive cells in the periodontal membrane
in WT mice but not TNFRs KO mice.
Figure S3. TNFR1 and TNFR2 were selectively expressed on osteoclast precursors in
chimeric mice. Bone marrow cells were cultured with M-CSF for 3day. The adherent cells
were incubated in NaN3 (0.1%) plus FBS-PBS (FBS, 1%) for 1 hours with FITCconjugated anti-TNFR1 mAb (Abcam, Cambridge, UK). They were then washed and
diluted with NaN3 plus FBS. Furthermore, the cells were also incubated for 1 hour with
PE-conjugated anti-TNFR2 mAb (BD Biosciences, San Jose, USA). TNFR1 and TNFR2
expression were analyzed by FACS. Osteoclast precursors of WT>WT and WT>KO
expressed TNFR1 and TNFR2, but KO>WT and KO>KO did not express TNFR1 and
TNFR2.
Figure S4. H-E staining of tissues from the OTM group with orthodontic tooth movement
for 12 days and from the MOPs group was performed. Alveolar bone resorption was
observed on the compression side, and slight new bone formation was observed on the
traction side.
