Abstract
Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) are attractive therapeutic agents for bone tissue regeneration owing to their osteogenic differentiation potential. Notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1) is a novel phytoestrogen with diverse pharmacological activities. Here, we probed whether NGR1 has an effect on the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. EdU, CCK-8 and Transwell assays were used to measure proliferation and migration of hBMSCs after treatment with different doses of NGR1. hBMSCs were treated with osteogenic differentiation induction medium for osteogenesis. Alizarin red S (ARS) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining were used to measure mineralized nodule formation and ALP activity in hBMSCs, respectively. ICI 182780, an antagonist of oestrogen receptor alpha (ERα) was used to inhibit ERα expression. The results showed that NGR1 enhanced hBMSC proliferation and migration. NGR1 increased ALP activity and mineralized nodule formation as well as promoting ALP, RUNX2 and OCN expression in hBMSCs. NGR1 enhanced ERα expression and promoted GSK-3β/β-catenin signal transduction in hBMSCs. ICI 182780 reversed NGR1-mediated activation of the GSK-3β/β-catenin signalling and promoted an effect on hBMSC behaviour. Thus NGR1 promotes proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs via the ERα/GSK-3β/β-catenin signalling pathway.
期刊介绍:
Experimental Pathology encompasses the use of multidisciplinary scientific techniques to investigate the pathogenesis and progression of pathologic processes. The International Journal of Experimental Pathology - IJEP - publishes papers which afford new and imaginative insights into the basic mechanisms underlying human disease, including in vitro work, animal models, and clinical research.
Aiming to report on work that addresses the common theme of mechanism at a cellular and molecular level, IJEP publishes both original experimental investigations and review articles. Recent themes for review series have covered topics as diverse as "Viruses and Cancer", "Granulomatous Diseases", "Stem cells" and "Cardiovascular Pathology".
