Objective To observe the epigenetic mechanism of Zuogui Wan( 左归丸) in osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells( BMSCs). Methods Thirty SD rats were given 1 ml Zuogui Wan solution( 472. 5 g /L) by gavage twice a day for continuous 3 days. Afterwards
blood samples were collected and Zuogui Wan serum samples were obtained. Bilateral femur and tibia of SD rats were obtained in asepsis and irrigation fluid of bone marrow was collected. BMSCs were incubated and passaged by adherent method. Second generation of BMSCs were inoculated in the density of 5 × 104/ cm2 in culture dishes. They were divided into 3 groups. Control group was conventional cultured. Osteogenic induction group was cultured by 10% blank serum with osteogenic induce supplements. Zuogui Wan group was cultured by 10% Zuogui Wan serum with osteogenic induce supplements. After 14 days
gene expression and methylation of Runx2
Osterix and β-catenin were detected by RT-PCR and methylation specific PCR. Results Expressions of Runx2
Osterix
OC and β-catenin were higher in Zuogui Wan group than those in control and osteogenic induction groups( P < 0. 05). Methylations of Runx2
Osterix
OC and β-catenin were lower in Zuogui Wan group than those in control and osteogenic induction groups( P < 0. 05). Conclusion Zuogui Wan serum can promote BMSCs differentiating to osteoblasts by epigenetic mechanism of demethylation.
