Effect of Astragali Radix Polysaccharide on mRNA and Protein Expression of CYP27B, CYP24A in MC-3T3-E1 Osteoblasts
Objective: To investigate the effects of Astragali Radix polysaccharides on osteoblast proliferation
1α hydroxylase (CYP27B) and 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A) gene and protein expression and preliminarily explore its mechanism in the treatment of osteoporosis (OP). Method: The MC-3T3-E1 osteoblasts were divided into 5 groups:normal group
vitamin D group (1×10-5 mmol·L-1)
Astragali Radix polysaccharide high dose (10 mg·L-1) group
Astragali Radix polysaccharide middle dose (1 mg·L-1) group and Astragali Radix polysaccharide low dose (0.1 mg·L-1) group. The effect of different concentrations of Astragali Radix polysaccharides on the proliferation of MC-3T3-E1 osteoblasts at different time points (24
36
48 h) was detected by methylthiazoletetrazolium colorimetry method (MTT). The mRNA expression of CYP24A and CYP27B in MC-3T3-E1 osteoblasts was detected by real-time quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and the protein expression of CYP24A and CYP27B in asthmatic rat MC-3T3-E1 osteoblasts was detected by Western blot. Result: MTT assay showed that the proliferation rate of MC-3T3-E1 osteoblasts could be enhanced by Astragali Radix polysaccharide at the concentrations of 0.1
1
10 mg·L-1
and the effect was best at 48 h. The results of Real-time PCR and Western blot showed that the mRNA and protein expression levels of CYP27B in MC-3T3-E1 osteoblasts were significantly promoted in vitamin D group as compared with the normal group (P <0.05). As compared with vitamin D group
the Astragali Radix polysaccharides (10
1
0.1 mg·L-1) significantly inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of CYP24A in MC-3T3-E1 osteoblast (P<0.05). Conclusion: The mechanism of Astragali Radix polysaccharide to treat osteoporosis is related to the improvement of osteoblast activity and the regulation of CYP24A
CYP27B mRNA and protein expression levels in MC-3T3-E1 osteoblast.
