Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies have found that the nervous system can effect the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of alcohol on the expressions of calcitontin gene-related peptide receptor (CGRPR) mRNA, substance P receptor (SPR) mRNA, peroxisom proliferator-activeted receptor-γ (PPARγ) mRNA and Runx2 mRNA in human BMSCs. 
METHODS: The second generation of BMSCs were divided into two groups at random. The cells in experimental group were treated with 0. 09 mol/L alcohol, and the control group was not treated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The expressions of FGF mRNA, CGRPR mRNA, SPR mRNA and Runx2 mRNA in the experimental group were significantly lower those that in the control group (P < 0.01), but the expression of PPARγ mRNA was increased compared with control group (P < 0.01). Alcohol could change the expressions of neuropeptide and depress the differentiation to osteoblasts.
