摘要
Objective:To understand the effects of combination treatment of pamidronate with isolated Quercus infectoria semi-purified fraction(Qlsm-F)on human foetal osteoblast cell model(hFOB1.19 cell line)through assessment of Runt related transcription fraction-2(Runx2)and Osterix(Osx).Methods:The isolation and purification of QIsm-F were conducted by chromatographic technique.In order to assess relative efficacy of QIsm-F to the osteoblast model,the determination of half maximal effective concentration(EC_(50))was performed by MTT assay.hFOB 1.19 cells were cultured in DMEM F-12 and supplemented with 10%fetal bovine serum along with 1%penicillin-streptomycin incubated in 5%CO_2 at 37℃.Expression of Runx2 and Osx was assessed through western blotting and confirmed with immunofluorescence staining.Results:Results of western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that compared to hFOB 1.19 cells treated with single individual treatment of QIsm-F and control groups,levels of Runx2 and Osx were elevated with higher fluorescence intensity and more rapid proliferation in hFOB 1.19 cells treated with combined treatment of QIsm-F and pamidronate.Conclusions:The finding demonstrates the synergistic effect between osteoporotic drug pamidronate and established QIsm-F.The combination treatment helps increase the efficiency of pamidronate acting on osteoblast cells by stimulating osteoblast proliferation and differentiation via expression of Runx2 and Osx.
