Abstract

The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of pannexin1 (Px1) protein channels on osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) under mechanical stress stimulation. MSCs were isolated from Sprague Dawley rats (3 weeks old, weighing 100‑120 g) and cultured in vitro. A safe concentration of carbenoxolone was determined (CBX, an inhibitor of Px1 channels; 100 µM) on MSCs using the Cell Counting Kit‑8 (CCK8) method. MSCs were divided into 6 groups: Control, stress (4,000 µ strain), and stress following 3, 6, 12, and 24 h pretreatment with CBX. Stress groups were stimulated with mechanical stress for 15 min. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, type I collagen expression, intracellular calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration, Px1 expression, p38 mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK) and extracellular signal‑regulated phosphorylation were determined. ALP activity was increased in the stress group, and this was prevented by pretreatment with CBX. Similarly, stress‑induced increases in type I collagen expression, Ca2+ concentration, Px1 expression, and p38 MAPK phosphorylation decreased in the presence of CBX. ERK phosphorylation was decreased by stress, however was not affected by CBX treatment. Altogether, the results suggest that mechanical stress promoted the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, and this promotion was inhibited by pretreatment with CBX, possibly through regulating the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK.
