Abstract

Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) as a novel marker of oxidative stress, are involved in a variety of diseases, including osteoporosis. Although a number of studies have shown the possible functions of AOPPs in biological processes, little is known about the role of AOPPs in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of AOPPs on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rat mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs, isolated from bone marrow, were cultured in the absence or presence of AOPPs (50, 100, 200 and 400 mg/ml). MTT assay was used to determine the proliferative ability of the cells. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, the mRNA expression of ALP and collagen I and bone nodule formation were detected to assess osteogenic differentiation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was analyzed with the probe 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). The expression of receptor of advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) at the mRNA and protein level was detected by real-time PCR and western blot analysis, respectively. Compared with the control group, AOPPs inhibited MSC proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, AOPPs induced a significant reduction in ALP activity, as well as a decrease in ALP and collagen I mRNA levels in the MSCs; bone nodule formation was also inhibited. Furthermore, AOPPs increased ROS generation in the MSCs, and upregulated the expression of RAGE at the mRNA and protein level. These results suggest that AOPPs inhibit the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, possibly through the AOPPs-RAGE-ROS pathway; this may be an important mechanism in the development of osteoporosis.
