Abstract

Nacre (mother of pearl) is a bioactive material capable of facilitating osteoblast proliferation and differentiation; however, further investigation into the mechanism underlying the effects of nacre on the stimulation of bone differentiation is required. The present study aimed to elucidate the effects of water‑soluble nano‑pearl powder (WSNNP) on osteoblast differentiation and to examine the underlying mechanisms. A MTT assay revealed that WSNNP (10, 25 and 50 µg/ml) may stimulate the viability of preosteoblastic MC3T3‑E1 cells and 50 µg/ml WSNNP exhibited the maximum stimulatory effect. Furthermore, WSNNP significantly enhanced the protein expression levels of differentiation markers, including collagen I, runt‑related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), secreted phosphoprotein1 (SPP1) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in a dose‑dependent manner, which indicated that WSNNP may promote osteoblast differentiation. Subsequently, whether autophagy serves a role in WSNNP‑mediated differentiation of osteoblasts was investigated via western blotting and immunofluorescence. The results of the present study demonstrated that WSNNP treatment significantly evoked the expression of autophagy markers, including microtubule‑associated light chai...Continue Reading

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Autophagy Networks

Autophagy is a lysosomal pathway that involves degradation of proteins and functions in normal growth and pathological conditions, through a series of complex networks. The catabolic process involves delivery of proteins and organelles to the lysosome. Here is the latest research on autophagy networks.
