    补肾益髓方调控KDM7A促进ERα表达治疗绝经后骨质疏松症的机制研究

    Mechanism of Bushen Yisui formula in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis by regulating KDM7A to promote ERα expression

    • 摘要: 目的 评估补肾益髓方(BSYS)治疗绝经后骨质疏松症(PMOP)的疗效,并探讨其抗骨质疏松的表观遗传学机制。方法 选取9周龄SPF级雌性C57BL/6J小鼠40只,随机分为假手术(Sham)组、模型(OVX)组、雌激素(E2)组和补肾益髓方(BSYS)组。采用双侧卵巢切除术建立骨质疏松小鼠模型,并进行8周药物干预。通过骨组织切片染色及Micro-CT检测骨微结构变化,ELISA法检测血清骨代谢标志物水平,Western blot法检测骨组织中成骨/破骨相关蛋白以及组蛋白去甲基化酶KDM7A和雌激素受体α(ERα)的表达。体外实验采用MC3T3-E1成骨前体细胞系,以含药血清干预细胞,检测KDM7A、ERα及成骨分化相关蛋白的表达变化。结果 与OVX组相比,BSYS组和E2组小鼠骨小梁微结构及骨质量均明显改善,血清骨形成标志物BALP和OCN水平升高,骨吸收标志物TRACP-5b水平下降。同时,BSYS组中成骨相关蛋白BMP2、OCN和胶原蛋白Ⅰ(ColⅠ)表达增加,破骨相关蛋白Cathepsin K表达减少。与E2组相比,BSYS组骨组织中KDM7A和ERα蛋白表达水平更高。体外实验结果显示,含药血清可上调KDM7A和ERα蛋白表达,并促进BMP2、OCN和ColⅠ等成骨相关蛋白的表达,其促进成骨分化作用呈浓度依赖性。结论 BSYS具有"促进骨形成—抑制骨吸收"的双向调节作用,其促进成骨的机制可能与上调KDM7A表达并激活ERα表达有关。

       

      Abstract: Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Bushen Yisui Formula (BSYS) on postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) and to explore its epigenetic mechanism in anti-osteoporosis activity. Methods Forty 9-week-old SPF female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a sham-operated (Sham) group, a model (OVX) group, an estrogen (E2) group, and a Bushen Yisui formula (BSYS) group. A mouse model of osteoporosis was established by bilateral ovariectomy, followed by 8 weeks of drug intervention. Bone microstructure was assessed by bone tissue staining and Micro-CT analysis. Serum bone metabolism markers were measured by ELISA. Western blot was used to detect osteogenic and osteoclastic proteins, as well as the expression of histone demethylase KDM7A and estrogen receptor α (ERα) in bone tissue. In vitro experiments were performed using MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cell line. Cells were treated with BSYS-containing serum, and the expression of KDM7A, ERα, and osteogenic differentiation-related proteins was examined. Results Compared with the OVX group, both the BSYS and E2 groups showed significant improvement in trabecular microstructure. Serum levels of bone formation markers BALP and OCN increased, whereas the bone resorption marker TRACP-5b decreased. Meanwhile, the levels of osteogenic proteins BMP2, OCN, and Collagen I were increased, while the osteoclastic protein Cathepsin K was reduced in the BSYS group. Compared with the E2 group, the levels of KDM7A and ERα proteins in bone tissue were increased in the BSYS group. In vitro experiments showed that BSYS-containing serum upregulated KDM7A and ERα expression and promoted the expression of osteogenic proteins including BMP2, OCN, and Collagen I, with a concentration-dependent effect on osteogenic differentiation. Conclusions BSYS exerts a bidirectional regulatory effect of promoting bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption. Its osteogenic mechanism may be associated with upregulating KDM7A expression and activating the ERα expression.
