- Fig. 1. Mouse model of ligature-induced experimental peri-implantitis. (a) Tooth extraction: left maxillary first and second molars extracted at 4 weeks old and the tooth extraction socket healed well with smooth gingiva surface after 6 weeks post-extraction. Implant placement: implant was put in alveolar bone without flap elevation. Ligature placement: at 4 weeks post-implant, 7-0 ligatures were applied under the fixture head. Gingival injection: injections for animals were administered three times on days 3, 6, and 9 during 14 days ligation period. Sample collection: 14 days post-ligation, the gingival tissues and the skulls were collected.

- Fig. 2. Anti-RANKL and anti-RANKL+miR-146a treatments decreased ligature-induced bone resorption with different patterns in experimental peri-implantitis of WT and TLR2/4 KO mice. Buccal side images of the defleshed skulls were taken of the control (non-ligation) group, ligation (non-treatment) group, ligation with anti-RANKL antibody (ligation+AR) treatment group, and ligation with anti-RANKL antibody + miR-146a (ligation+A+MiR) treatment group in WT mice and TLR2/4 KO mice (a) (scale bar, 500 μm). The bone resorption area based on these images was measured and analyzed for WT mice (b) and TLR2/4 KO mice (c) (mean ± SD, n = 6, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, SEM, standard error of difference between two means). Three dimension (3D) images from μCT were collected and analyzed for WT mice (d) and TLR4 KO mice (e) (mean ± SD, n = 6, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01) : RANKL blockade alleviates peri-implant
- Fig. 3. Anti-RANKL and anti-RANKL+miR-146a treatments decreased TRAP-positive cell quantities with different patterns in experimental peri-implantitis of WT and TLR2/4 KO mice. TRAP-positive cells (red color) with 3 or more nuclei were considered osteoclasts and were shown in the control group, ligation group, ligation with anti-RANKL antibody treatment group, and ligation with anti-RANKL antibody + miR-146a treatment group in WT mice and TLR2/4 KO mice (a) (Im, implant; Av, alveolar bone; scale bar, 100 μm). The quantities of TRAP-positive cells were analyzed in each group of WT mice (b) and TLR2/4 KO mice (c) (mean ± SD, n = 6, **p < 0.01) : RANKL blockade alleviates peri-implant
- Fig. 4. Anti-RANKL and anti-RANKL+miR-146a treatments decreased the inflammatory cell infiltration of the implant gingival tissues with different patterns in experimental peri-implantitis of WT and TLR2/4 KO mice. HE staining of the gingival tissue around implants were performed in the control group, ligation group, ligation with anti-RANKL antibody treatment group, and ligation with anti-RANKL antibody + miR-146a treatment group in WT mice and TLR2/4 KO mice (a) (scale bar, 100 μm). Inflammatory cell numbers were measured and analyzed in each group of WT mice (b) and TLR2/4 KO mice (c) (mean ± SD, n = 6, **p < 0.01) : RANKL blockade alleviates peri-implant
- Fig. 5. Anti-RANKL and anti-RANKL+miR-146a treatments decreased gingival mRNA expression of TNF-α and RANKL with different patterns in experimental peri-implantitis of WT and TLR2/4 KO mice. Gingival tissues around ligatured implants and non-ligation implants were excised and processed for RT-qPCR analysis to determine mRNA level of TNF-α of WT mice (a) and TLR2/4 KO mice (b) (mean ± SD, n = 6, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01) and mRNA level of RANKL of WT mice (c) and TLR2/4 KO mice (d) (mean ± SD, n = 6, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01). : RANKL blockade alleviates peri-implant
