Abstract

In our previous reports, it was revealed that steroids in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have the therapeutic potential to treat bone disease. In the present study, an in vitro model of a vitamin D receptor response element (VDRE) reporter gene assay in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) was used to identify steroids that enhanced osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. (+)‑cholesten‑3‑one (CN), which possesses a ketone group that is modified in cholesterol and cholesterol myristate, effectively promoted the activity of the VDRE promoter. Phenotypic cellular analysis indicated that CN induced differentiation of MSCs into osteogenic cells and increased expression of specific osteogenesis markers, including alkaline phosphatase, collagen II and Runt‑related transcription factor 2. Furthermore, CN significantly increased the expression of osteopontin, the target of the vitamin D receptor (VDR), which indicated that CN may activate vitamin D receptor signaling. Over‑expression of VDR or knockdown studies with VDR‑small interfering RNA revealed that the pro‑differentiation effects induced by CN required VDR. Furthermore, the present study determined that the C‑terminal region of the VDR is responsible for the action of CN. Taken together, the present findings demonstrated that CN induced osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by activating VDR. The present study explored the regulation of stem cells by using a series of similar steroids and provided evidence to support a potential strategy for the screening of novel drugs to treat bone disease in the future.
