Abstract
This study investigated the anti-osteoporotic effects of the peptide PASTGAAK (P11) on ovariectomized (OVX) mice. In vitro gastrointestinal stability assays demonstrated that P11 resisted enzymatic degradation by trypsin and pepsin, retaining its osteogenic activity post-digestion. In vivo, P11 administration (8 weeks) significantly reversed OVX-induced bone loss, as evidenced by improved trabecular bone microstructure, as well as the enhanced biomechanical properties. Serum analysis revealed P11 was beneficial for upregulating bone formation markers. Gene expression profiling indicated P11 stimulated osteogenic differentiation via upregulation of Runx2, Osterix, ALP and Col1a1. Gut microbiota analysis showed P11 restored OVX-induced reductions in microbial richness, modulated the Firmicutes/Bacteroidota ratio and increased key genera (Akkermansia). Serum metabolomics identified P11-mediated restoration of lipid metabolism (α-linolenic acid pathway) and inhibition of serotonin synthesis. Correlation analysis revealed that the aforementioned metabolic changes induced by P11 were closely associated with the enrichment of Akkermansia in the gut. These findings highlighted P11 as a safe natural agent for osteoporosis treatment, acting via osteogenic promotion, gut microbiota modulation and metabolic pathway regulation.
