Icariin ameliorates osteoporosis by activating autophagy in ovariectomized rats.
Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is a major problem that increases the mortality and disability rate worldwide. With an increase in the aging population, OP has become a major public threat to human health. Searching for effective and suitable targets for drug treatment in OP has become an urgent need.
Objectives: Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by reduced bone mass and density as well as micro-architectural deterioration. Icariin is a flavonoid extracted from plants of the genus Epimedium and has been shown to exert potential anti-OP activity. The present study was designed to observe the effect of icariin on OP and to clarify the underlying mechanisms in ovariectomized (OVX) rats.
Material and methods: Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, von Kossa staining and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) confirmed significant bone loss in the OVX group. Protein expression level was detected with western blot analysis.
Results: Icariin reversed a trend of increased bone turnover by reducing serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRACP-5b), and C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I). Furthermore, icariin decreased sequestosome 1 (p62) and increased microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3II/microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3I (LC3II/LC3I), autophagy-related protein 7 (Atg7), and Beclin 1 in the femur of OVX rats, improving the indicators of impaired autophagy in OP.
Conclusions: Icariin reversed the significant upregulation of the serine/threonine protein kinase (Akt), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and unc-51-like autophagy activating kinase 1 (ULK1) at Ser757, and the downregulation of p-AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK) and ULK1 phosphorylated at Ser555 in the OVX rats, suggesting that the mechanism of icariin action in OP treatment involves the activation and suppression of the AMPK/ULK1 and AKT/mTOR/ULK1 autophagy pathways, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been published by the Wroclaw Medical University since 1992. Establishing the medical journal was the idea of Prof. Bogumił Halawa, Chair of the Department of Cardiology, and was fully supported by the Rector of Wroclaw Medical University, Prof. Zbigniew Knapik. Prof. Halawa was also the first editor-in-chief, between 1992-1997. The journal, then entitled "Postępy Medycyny Klinicznej i Doświadczalnej", appeared quarterly.
Prof. Leszek Paradowski was editor-in-chief from 1997-1999. In 1998 he initiated alterations in the profile and cover design of the journal which were accepted by the Editorial Board. The title was changed to Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine. Articles in English were welcomed. A number of outstanding representatives of medical science from Poland and abroad were invited to participate in the newly established International Editorial Staff.
Prof. Antonina Harłozińska-Szmyrka was editor-in-chief in years 2000-2005, in years 2006-2007 once again prof. Leszek Paradowski and prof. Maria Podolak-Dawidziak was editor-in-chief in years 2008-2016. Since 2017 the editor-in chief is prof. Maciej Bagłaj.
Since July 2005, original papers have been published only in English. Case reports are no longer accepted. The manuscripts are reviewed by two independent reviewers and a statistical reviewer, and English texts are proofread by a native speaker.
The journal has been indexed in several databases: Scopus, Ulrich’sTM International Periodicals Directory, Index Copernicus and since 2007 in Thomson Reuters databases: Science Citation Index Expanded i Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
In 2010 the journal obtained Impact Factor which is now 1.179 pts. Articles published in the journal are worth 15 points among Polish journals according to the Polish Committee for Scientific Research and 169.43 points according to the Index Copernicus.
Since November 7, 2012, Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been indexed and included in National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. English abstracts printed in the journal are included and searchable using PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.
