Abstract: Objective This study evaluates the biological effects of naringin (NAR) joint bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 on the proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and expression of osteoblastogenic genes, such as Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), collagen Ⅰ (ColⅠ), ALP, and osteocalcin (OCN) of pre-osteoblasts. Methods Three different NAR concentrations (10, 100, and 1 000 μmol·L-1) were applied, alone or combined with BMP-2(50 ng·mL-1), to restore the osteoblastogenesis of pre-osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1 cell line). Cell numbers (proliferation) were evaluated at first, fourth, and seventh days by Alamar blue assay. ALP activity and the expression of osteoblastogenic genes, such as Runx2, ColⅠ, ALP, and OCN were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) at fourth and seventh day. Results Stimulation by NAR alone and in combination with BMP-2 for 1 day and 4 days could promote cell proliferation, which peaked at a concentration of 100 μmol·L-1 NAR combined with BMP-2 could promote cell proliferation significantly (P<0.05). Stimulation by NAR alone and in combination with BMP-2 for 4 and 7 days could promote ALP activity and bone-related gene(ALP, OCN, Runx2, ColⅠ) expression. ALP expression was significantly promoted after stimulation of 100 μmol·L-1 NAR and BMP-2 (P<0.05). Conclusion NAR exhibits promising potential for improving MC3T3-E1 proliferation and differentiation, and appropriate concentrations of NAR and BMP-2 show synergistic effect.
