PG - 309-314 LID - 10.3892/etm.2020.8689 [doi] AB - Effect of raloxifene (RLF) on the improvement of inhibited osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) resulted from tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) induction, thus alleviating the progression of osteoporosis (OP), was investigated. An in vivo OP rat model was constructed by performing the procedures of ovariectomy (OVX). Rats were randomly divided into sham group, OVX group and RLF+OVX group. BMSCs were extracted from healthy rats, and randomly divided into control group, TNF-alpha group, RLF group and TNF-alpha+RLF group. Viability and cellular calcification ability in each group were detected. The relative levels of osteocalcin (OCN), Runx2 and NF-kappaB in cells with different treatments were determined. The body weight of rats in the OVX group and RLF+OVX group gradually increased compared with that in the sham group on the 8th week. No significant difference in body weight was observed between the rats of the OVX group and RLF+OVX group. Bone metabolism index (BMD) in the rats of the RLF+OVX group was higher than that of the OVX group, and lower compared with that of the sham group. Compared with the sham group, the elastic/max radial degree and elastic/max load of femora were reduced in the OVX group and RLF+OVX group, especially in the OVX group. The relative levels of OCN and Runx2, as well as the ALP activity and calcification ability, were decreased in the OVX group compared with the sham group, and the effect was partially reversed by the RLF treatment. After osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, the viability and calcification ability were markedly reduced in TNF-alpha group, which was reversed by RLF treatment. Moreover, TNF-alpha induction downregulated the relative levels of OCN and Runx2, and RLF treatment could enhance their levels. The upregulated NF-kappaB protein level, induced by TNF-alpha, was reduced after RLF treatment. TNF-alpha induction inhibits osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, which could be remarkably alleviated by RLF. It is suggested that RLF contributes to the alleviation of OP progression.
