Abstract:

Objective The aim of this study is to identify the role of adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) in hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-induced inhibition of high glucose (HG)-induced osteoblast damage. Methods Osteoblasts from rat mandible were cultured and identified. The osteoblasts were then treated with HG, H2S, KATP channel opener pinacidil (Pia), and KATP channel blocker glibenclamide (Gli). Western blot method was performed to detect the expression of KATP channel protein. CCK8, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) , and image analysis were used to determine the effects of H2S-KATP on the proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of osteoblasts. Results The expression of KATP channel protein in osteoblasts was significantly decreased under the influence of HG. H2S pretreatment significantly inhibited HG on KATP channel protein down-regulation. Moreover, H2S pretreatment significantly inhibited the effect of HG on the proliferation of osteoblasts, thereby preventing HG-induced inhibition of osteoblasts differentiation and mineralization. Meanwhile, the KATP channel blocker effectively blocked the H2S on osteoblasts and had a pro-tective effect. Conclusion Through the KATP channel, H2S inhibited osteoblasts damage induced by HG.
