Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of icariin (ICA) on the proliferation and apoptosis of bone mesenchymal stem cell (BMSCs) under microgravity. Methods The BMSCs were randomly divided into three groups: microgravity group, dosing group and control group. The microgravity group and dosing group was treated with microgravity, besides, 1×10-6 mol/L ICA was applied to the cells in dosing group; the control group was cultured without any additional operation. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay, each group was set up 3 reduplicateholes; the apoptosis was detected by FCM, each group was detected 3 times; the expression of apoptosis related genes were detected by QPCR with 3 reduplicate holes, and the subcellular structure was observed by TEM. Results The result of MTT examination showed that the absorbance value of microgravity group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.01), and the dosing group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01). FCM method showed that the apoptosis rate of microgravity group was significantly higher than control group (P < 0.01), and the apoptosis rate of the dosing group was significantly lower than control group (P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the expression of Bcl-2, Bax/bcl-2, Bax, and P53 gene was up-regulated in microgravity group (all P < 0.05); in dosing group, the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, P53 and the Bax/bcl-2 gene was significantly down-regulated when compared with microgravity group (all P < 0.01). TEM indicated that the dosing group cells were generally normal and with no obvious changes when compared with the control group; in microgravity group, the cells existed membrane shrinking, microvilli decreasing, cytoplasmic concentration, ribosome and mitochondria gathering, nucleus pyknosis, and dense chromatin gathering to the margin of nuclear membrane. Conclusion Microgravity can inhibit osteoblast′s proliferation and promote apoptosis of BMSCs. But the appropriate concentration of ICA can protect BMSCs from the harmful effect caused by microgravity.
