Description
Abstract
Asiatic acid can attenuate osteoporosis
through suppressing adipogenic differentiation and
osteoclastic differentiation. Oxidative stress enhances
osteoclastic differentiation but represses osteogenic
differentiation to promote osteoporosis. However, the
role and mechanism of asiatic acid in osteoporosis have
not been reported. Firstly, mice were fed with high-fatdiet (HFD) with or without asiatic acid for 16 weeks.
Data from an automatic biochemical analyzer showed
that HFD induced down-regulation of high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) and an increase of serum levels of
triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and low-density
lipoprotein (LDL). However, asiatic acid administration
attenuated the decrease of HDL and increase of serum
TG, TC and LDL in osteoporotic mice. Secondly, HFD
induced high levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and
reactive oxygen species (ROS), low levels of superoxide
dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)
in osteoporotic mice. However, the levels of MDA,
ROS, SOD and GSH-Px in osteoporotic mice were
reversed by asiatic acid administration. (this section is
unclear and requires revision) Asiatic acid
administration reduced expression of c-telopeptide of
type 1 collagen (CTX-1), enhanced alkaline phosphatase
(ALP) and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide
(P1NP) in HFD-induced osteoporotic mice. (this section
is unclear and requires revision) Thirdly, asiatic acid
promoted calcium deposition in bone marrow cells and
osteogenic differentiation in osteoporotic mice, but
decreased ALP in bone marrow cells. Lastly, asiatic acid
enhanced SIRT1 and nuclear FOXO1 (Nu-FOXO1)
expression, while it reduced Acetyl FOXO1 (AcFOXO1) in osteoporotic mice. In conclusion, asiatic acid
might inhibit oxidative stress and promote osteogenic
differentiation through activating SIRT1/FOXO1 to
attenuate HFD-induced osteoporosis in mice.
