Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that Chinese medicines appear to have an active inducible role in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
OBJECTIVE: To review the progress of Chinese medicine in the induced differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts.
METHODS: A computer-based search of Wanfang database was performed to retrieve articles addressing Chinese medicine for inducing osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, published from January 2004 to April 2012. The key words were “Chinese medicine, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts” in Chinese. Finally, 18 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Based on serum pharmacology, serum containing Chinese medicine cannot only remove unknown toxicity, but also reflect the efficacy of Chinese medicine. Therefore, serums containing drugs for tonifying the kidney and bone knitting have been used to induce differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts. These serums containing single herbs, single herb extracts, and drug compounds are characterized as safe and easy to use, which can all promote in vitro differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts.
