PTH up-regulated RANKL, β-catenin, collagen II and OCN expressions in maxillary expansion model rats. The rats were divided into control, PTH, expansion and expansion + PTH groups, respectively. A The mRNA expression levels of RANKL, β-catenin, collagen II and OCN were analyzed by RT-qPCR assay, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus control group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 versus expansion group. B RANKL, β-catenin, collagen II and OCN expressions were examined by western blot assay in each group. β-actin was used as internal reference. Different letters marked were considered to have significant difference between the two groups
