紫杉叶素通过抑制NF-κB信号通路抑制破骨细胞生成并预防骨丢失

Abstract

It has been reported that taxifolin inhibit osteoclastogenesis in RAW264.7 cells. In our research, the inhibition effects of taxifolin on the osteoclastogenesis of human bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) induced by receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) as well as the protection effects in lipopolysaccharide-induced bone lysis mouse model have been demonstrated. In vitro, taxifolin inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation of human BMMs without cytotoxicity. Moreover, taxifolin significantly suppressed RANKL-induced gene expression, including tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, matrix metalloproteinase-9 nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 and cathepsin K, and F-actin ring formation. Further studies showed that taxifolin inhibit osteoclastogenesis via the suppression of the NF-κB signaling pathway. In vivo, taxifolin prevented bone loss in mouse calvarial osteolysis model. In conclusion, the results suggested that taxifolin has a therapeutic potential for osteoclastogenesis-related diseases such as osteoporosis, osteolysis, and rheumatoid arthritis
