衰老是导致老年性骨质疏松症(SOP)的主要致病因素,其通过促进机体活性氧(ROS)的释放诱导氧化应激,从而降低成骨细胞活性,减少其骨形成[1-2]。D-半乳糖(D-gal)是一种还原糖,当其浓度达到一定水平时,就会诱导机体发生代谢紊乱,释放大量ROS,最终促进衰老相关疾病的发生[3]。同时,过量的D-gal还可诱导骨质变化,类似于SOP和衰老过程中的骨质丢失[4],严重危害了我国中老年人的身体健康。
巴戟天丸(Bajitianwan,BJTW)首载于《古今医统大全》,原方用于治疗老年性记忆减退。本课题组前期研究同样表明,巴戟天丸可显著改善D-gal致衰老大鼠的骨微结构,防治骨丢失,证明其具有明确的抗骨质疏松作用;同时还发现巴戟天丸可改善D-gal大鼠的记忆损伤,提示其具有抗老年性骨质疏松潜力[5],然而其在成骨细胞水平上防治D-gal引发骨丢失的作用及机制尚不明确。因此本研究拟采用D-gal损伤成骨细胞,通过成骨细胞活性、氧化应激水平及关键调控通路检测等方法,探究巴戟天丸体外抗老年性骨质疏松症的作用及机制。

摘要:
目的 研究巴戟天丸防治D-半乳糖(D-gal)损伤成骨细胞骨丢失的作用及机制。 方法 采用新生24 h Wistar大鼠提取的原代成骨细胞,利用D-gal对细胞进行干预,并给予巴戟天丸提取物行药物治疗。分别采用MTT法和碱性磷酸酶试剂盒评价细胞的增殖和分化水平;采用DCFH-DA荧光探针对成骨细胞内活性氧(ROS)水平进行测定。采用Western blotting法对磷酸化蛋白激酶B(p-AKT)、蛋白激酶B(AKT)、血红素氧合酶1(HO-1)、醌NADPH脱氢酶1(NQO1)等氧化相关蛋白的表达进行检测,并采用免疫荧光法测定细胞核因子E2相关因子2(Nrf2)的核内表达水平。 结果 巴戟天丸能显著提高D-gal干预细胞的增殖水平和ALP活性,并显著降低细胞内ROS水平。巴戟天丸能够显著促进细胞AKT蛋白的磷酸化,提高HO-1、NQO1的表达水平,进而激活PI3K/AKT信号通路。此外,巴戟天丸提取物还可显著促进成骨细胞核内Nrf2的表达,激活Nrf2信号通路,促进骨形成。 结论 本研究首次明确了巴戟天丸可防治D-半乳糖损伤引起的成骨细胞骨丢失,其作用机制可能与调控PI3K/AKT和Nrf2信号通路关联的氧化应激有关。 Abstract:Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of Bajitianwan on preventing D-galactose (D-gal)-induced osteoblast bone loss. Methods Osteoblasts isolated from 24 h old Wistar rats were injured by D-gal and intervened with Bajitianwan extract. The osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation were determined by MTT and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), respectively. The cell reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected by DCFH-DA fluorescent probes. The expression of cellular oxidation-related protein nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT), protein kinase B (AKT), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) were detected by Western blotting. The intranuclear expression of Nrf2 protein was measured by immunofluorescence. Results Bajitianwan extract had significantly increased the osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation, and significantly reduced the intracellular ROS level. Bajitianwan extract had activated the PI3K/AKT pathway via activating the phosphorylation of AKT in osteoblasts, and promoted NQO1 and HO-1 expression. In addition, Bajitianwan had significantly promoted the expression of Nrf2 in the nucleus of osteoblasts, activating Nrf2 signaling pathway, and further promoted bone formation. Conclusion This study confirmed that Bajitianwan could prevent D-gal injured osteoblastic bone loss for the first time. The mechanism might be related to the regulation of oxidative stress associated PI3K/AKT and Nrf2 signaling pathway. -
