Osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells promoted by quercetin.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The present study aimed to investigate overall effect of quercetin on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mouse adipose stem cells (mASCs) in vitro.

Materials and methods

Mouse adipose stem cells were isolated from subcutaneous fat pads and induced into the osteogenic lineage. Effects of quercetin on cell proliferation were assessed using MTT assay. Then they were treated by quercetin for 3, 7 and 11 days in a range of concentrations. Finally, effects of quercetin on osteogenic differentiation of mASCs were analysed by real-time PCR.

Results

Data of MTT assay showed that quercetin did not enhance mASC proliferation in a dose-dependent or time-dependent manner. Results of qPCR indicated that quercetin promoted expressions of Osx, Runx2, BMP-2, Col-1, OPN and OCN at the mRNA level in the presence of osteo-induction medium.

Conclusions

Our data demonstrated that quercetin was not active in terms of enhancing mASCs proliferation; however, it increased osteogenesis of mASCs by up-regulation of genes including Osx, Runx2, BMP-2, Col-1, OPN and OCN.

Project description:BackgroundHeat shock protein B7 (HSPB7), which belongs to small heat shock protein family, has been reported to be involved in diverse biological processes and diseases. However, whether HSPB7 regulates osteogenic differentiation of human adipose derived stem cells (hASCs) remains unexplored.MethodsThe expression level of HSPB7 during the osteogenesis of hASCs was examined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot analysis. Lentivirus transfection was used to knock down or overexpress HSPB7, which enabled us to investigate the effect of HSPB7 on osteogenic differentiation of hASCs. U0126 and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) siRNA were used to identify the mechanism of the HSPB7/ERK1/2 axis in regulating osteogenic differentiation of hASCs. Moreover, ectopic bone formation in nude mice and osteoporosis mice model was used to investigate the effect of HSPB7 on osteogenesis in vivo.ResultsIn this study, we found the expression of HSPB7 was significantly downregulated during the osteogenic differentiation of hASCs. HSPB7 knockdown remarkably promoted osteogenic differentiation of hASCs, while HSPB7 overexpression suppressed osteogenic differentiation of hASCs both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we discovered that the enhancing effect of HSPB7 knockdown on osteogenic differentiation was related to the activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. Inhibition of ERK signaling pathway with U0126 or silencing ERK1/2 effectively blocked the stimulation of osteogenic differentiation induced by HSPB7 knockdown. Additionally, we found that HSPB7 expression was markedly increased in mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mBMSCs) from the osteoporotic mice which suggested that HSPB7 might be utilized as a potential target in the development of effective therapeutic strategies to treat osteoporosis and other bone diseases.ConclusionTaken together, these findings uncover a previously unrecognized function of HSPB7 in regulating osteogenic differentiation of hASCs, partly via the ERK signaling pathway.
