The present study aimed to prepare a novel H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> stimulus‑responsive dodecanoic acid (DA)‑phenylborate ester‑dextran (DA‑B‑DEX) polymeric micelle delivery system for GNE‑477 and evaluate its efficacy. The polymer micelles were characterized by morphology, size and critical micelle concentration.

The cellular uptake of GNE‑477@DBD by three OS cell lines (MG‑63, U2OS and 143B cells) was analyzed utilizing a fluorescent tracer technique. The hydroxylated DA‑B was successfully grafted onto dextran at a grafting rate of 3%, suitable for forming amphiphilic micelles.

For this purpose, a protein‑protein interaction network of NAR action was established by mRNA sequencing and network pharmacological analysis. Gene and protein expression levels were evaluated by reverse transcription‑quantitative and western blotting. Alizarin red and alkaline phosphatase staining were also employed to observe the osteogenic capacity of hPDLSCs, and immunofluorescence was used to examine the co‑localization of NAR molecular probes and AKT in cells. The repair of mandibular defects was assessed by micro‑computed tomography (micro‑CT), Masson staining and immunofluorescence. Additionally, computer simulation docking software was utilized to determine the binding affinity of NAR to the target protein, AKT. The results demonstrated that activation of the nitric oxide (NO)‑cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)‑protein kinase G (PKG) signaling pathway could promote the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. Inhibition of AKT, endothelial nitric oxide synthase and soluble guanylate cyclase individually attenuated the ability of NAR to promote the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. Micro‑CT and Masson staining revealed that the NAR gavage group exhibited more new bone formation at the defect site. Immunofluorescence assays confirmed the upregulated expression of Runt‑related transcription factor 2 and osteopontin in the NAR gavage group.

Improving osteogenic capacity is necessary to correct bone mass loss in the treatment of osteoporosis. Osteoblasts are derived from the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, a process that opposes adipogenic differentiation. The peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor γ and Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathways mediate the mutual regulation of osteogenesis and adipogenesis. Lipid substances play an important role in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. The content and proportion of lipids modulate the activity of immunocytes, mainly macrophages, and the secretion of inflammatory factors, such as IL‑1, IL‑6 and TNF‑α. These inflammatory effectors increase the activity and promote the differentiation of osteoclasts, which leads to bone imbalance and stronger bone resorption. Obesity also decreases the activity of antioxidases and leads to oxidative stress, thereby inhibiting osteogenesis. The present review starts by examining the bidirectional differentiation of BM‑MSCs, describes in detail the mechanism by which lipids affect bone metabolism, and discusses the regulatory role of inflammation and oxidative stress in this process.

Currently, chemoradiotherapy is the primary clinical treatment approach for OC; however, it has severe side effects and a high rate of recurrence. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop innovative therapeutic options. Paeoniflorigenone (PFG) is a monoterpene compound isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Paeoniae Radix Rubra. PFG can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells; however, its anticancer activity against OC has yet to be elucidated. Mucin 1 (MUC1) is highly expressed in various malignant tumors, and is associated with tumor proliferation, metastasis and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). In addition, MUC1 affects numerous signaling pathways in tumor cells. In order to develop a possible treatment approach for metastatic OC, the antitumor activity of PFG in OC cells was investigated using Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay, Edu assay, flow cytometry, Transwell assay and western blot analysis. In addition, it was assessed how PFG affects MUC1 expression and function. The experiments revealed that PFG significantly inhibited OC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT. PFG also induced S‑phase cell cycle arrest in OC cells. Furthermore, PFG inhibited MUC1 promoter activity, which led to a decrease in MUC1 protein expression. By contrast, MUC1 promoted OC progression, including cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and cell migration. Stable knockdown of MUC1 in OC cells improved the ability of PFG to block the Wnt/β‑catenin pathway, and to limit tumor cell invasion and migration, whereas MUC1 overexpression partially counteracted the antitumor effects of PFG. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that PFG may inhibit the MUC1/Wnt/β‑catenin pathway to induce anti‑metastatic, anti‑invasive and anti‑EMT effects on OC. Notably, MUC1 may be a direct target of PFG.
