Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of alogliptin on bone loss in ovariectomized(OVX)mice.Methods:For animal experiments, thirty 8-week-old C57BL/6J female mice were divided into Sham group, OVX group, and OVX+ alogliptin group. OVX+ alogliptin group were administered with alogliptin in a dosage of 20 mg·kg -1·d -1 by gavage, Sham and OVX groups with equivalent saline. After 12 weeks intervention, serum bone anabolism indicators were detected, and Micro CT and HE staining were used to observe and analyze the bone trabecular structure of femur and tibia in mice. For in vitro experiments, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)were incubated with 100 μmol/L alogliptin for osteoblast differentiation. Alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and alizarin red S staining were used to determine the ALP activity and mineralization after osteogenic induction and culture. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein expressions of osteoblast related genes. Results:Alogliptin intervention improved the biochemical indexes of bone anabolism and protected against bone microstructure deterioration to alleviate bone loss in OVX mice. Alogliptin stimulated osteoblast differentiation and elevated expression levels of Runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2), ALP, osteocalcin, and osterix in in vitro experiments. Conclusion:Alogliptin can alleviate bone loss in OVX mice.
