Objective: To investigate the effects of icariin on the femur tissue in vitro.Method: The rat femur tissue was isolated from SD rats with enzyme digestion.Icariin was supplemented into the culture at 1×10-5 mol·L-1
alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity and calcium content were compared between the icariin group and the control group.Total RNA was isolated and the gene expression of osteoprotegerin(OPG)
collagen-1
Rurt-related transcription factor 2(Runx-2) was detected by Real-time RT-PCR.Result: 1×10-5 mol·L-1 icariin significantly promoted femur tissue metabolism related gene expression level
increased ALP activity and calcium content.Conclusion: Icariin can enhance the rat femur tissue in bone metabolism related gene expression
