Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Estrogen deficiency is the main pathogenesis of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, but there are few researches on the correlation between estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) and osteoporosis. Little is known about their mechanisms of action.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of adenoviral overexpression of ERRα and silencing of Bak1/Bcl2 in MG63 cells.
METHODS: Adenovirus vector overexpressing ERRα and silencing of Bak1/Bcl2 was constructed. MG63 cells were divided into blank control, Ad-shBak1, Ad-shBcl2, and Ad-shBak1+shBcl2 groups. MG63 cells of different groups were infected by ERRα, Bak1, and Bcl2 overexpressing recombinant adenovirus. The cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. The alkaline phosphatase activity was measured by Coomassie brilliant blue method. The Ca2+ concentration was detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of related bone-regulating proteins (bone morphologic protein 4, connective tissue growth factor, osteopontin, Runt 2 and tumor necrosis factor α) were tested by western blot assay.   .
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the blank control group, the cell viability and alkaline phosphatase activity were significantly increased and Ca2+ concentration was significantly decreased, bone morphologic protein 4, connective tissue growth factor, osteopontin and Runt 2 were increased, and tumor necrosis factor α was decreased in the Ad-shBak1 group. The cell viability, alkaline phosphatase activity and connective tissue growth factor level were decreased, but not significant in the Ad-shBcl2 group (P > 0.05). In the Ad-shBcl2 group, the Ca2+ concentration, bone morphologic protein 4, and Runt 2 were significantly decreased, osteopontin and tumor necrosis factor α were significantly increased (P < 0.01). In the Ad-shBak1+shBcl2 group, the cell viability and alkaline phosphatase activity were increased, Ca2+ concentration was decreased, and level of each protein was increased (P > 0.05). Compared with the Ad-shBcl2 group, in the Ad-shBak1 and Ad-shBak1+shBcl2 groups, the cell viability and alkaline phosphatase activity were significantly increased, Ca2+ concentration was significantly decreased, bone morphologic protein 4, connective tissue growth factor, osteopontin and Runt 2 were increased, and tumor necrosis factor α was significantly decreased (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Our findings suggest that the overexpression of ERRα can increase the MG63 cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity after transfection by Bak1 recombinant adenovirus, decrease Ca2+ concentration, and also has certain effects on related bone regulating proteins.
