Abstract:
Objective To study the roles of icariin and cyclic tensile strain (CTS) in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and the molecular mechanisms involved.Methods ASCs were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats and treated either with icariin (10-7 mol/L) or with 1000 μ,2000 μ or 3000 μ of CTS for 7 days,or with icariin plus CTS at 2000 μ for three days.Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was detected after 3 and 7 days of intervention.Western blotting was performed to detect the expression of Runt-related transcriptional factor 2 (Runx2),Yes-associated protein (YAP) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) after the third day of the intervention.A reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed at 7 days to detect the expression of osteopontin (OPN) and collagen la and after 3 days to detect the expression of the YAP target gene,CTGF and ankyrin repeating domain 1 (Ankrd1).Results Icariin and CTS at 1000 μ,2000 μ or 3000 μ could all significantly promote the expression of ALP protein.CTS at 2000 μ was the nost effective.The co-treatment with icariin and CTS significantly promoted ALP protein expression compared with icariin or CTS treatment alone.It also significantly promoted the expression of Runx2 and CTGF protein.Icariin or CTS (2000 μ) alone could not promote the expression of YAP protein,but icariin combined with CTS (2000 μ) promoted it significantly.Either icariin or CTS (2000 μ) could significantly promote ALP activity after 3 and 7 days,but icariin combined with CTS had the most obvious effect.Both icariin and CTS (2000 μ) could also significantly promote the expression of the osteogenesis-related genes OPN and collagen la,as well as the YAP targeted genes CTGF and Ankrdl.However,the combination of icariin and CTS had the greatest effect in promoting the expression of OPN mRNA,collagen la mRNA,CTGF mRNA and ankrdl mRNA.Conclusion Icariin and CTS co-treatment may promote osteogenic differentiation of ASCs via activating YAP expression.
