Inhibition of Piezo1 hindered the distance of OTM and decreased bone mass. (A) Micro-CT and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction images showed the distance of OTM. (B) The distance of OTM from day 0 to day 14. The distance was increased by orthodontic force overtime in the OTM group while declined by GsMTx4 in the OTM + INH group. *p < 0.05, the OTM vs. OTM + INH groups. (C) Parameters including bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), and trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp) were examined from day 0 to day 14. BV/TV and Tb.Th of the OTM group were significantly greater than that of the OTM + INH and control (CON) groups on day 14 of OTM. *p < 0.05. Data are presented as the mean ± SD.
