Regeneration of orofacial bone defects caused by inflammation-related diseases or trauma remains an unmet challenge. Parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R) signaling is a key mediator of bone remodeling whereas the regulatory mechanisms of PTH1R signaling in oral bone under homeostatic or inflammatory conditions have not been demonstrated by direct genetic evidence. Here, we observed that deletion of PTH1R in Gli1+ progenitors led to increased osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. Single-cell and bulk RNA-Seq analysis revealed that PTH1R suppressed the osteogenic potential of Gli1+ progenitors during inflammation. Moreover, we identified upregulated IGF1 expression upon PTH1R deletion. Dual deletion of IGF1 and PTH1R ameliorated the bone-remodeling phenotypes in PTH1R-deficient mice. Furthermore, in vivo evidence revealed an inverse relationship between PTH1R and Hedgehog signaling, which was responsible for the upregulated IGF1 production. Our work underscored the negative feedback between PTH1R and IGF1 in craniofacial bone turnover and revealed mechanisms modulating orofacial bone remodeling.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
