| Abstract |
Objective
Supplementation with vitamin E is able to protect bone against free radical-induced elevation of bone-resorbing
cytokines. We examined gene expression by microarray analysis during the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem
cells treated with vitamin E into osteoblasts in vitro.
Methods
Human bone marrow stem cells were cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium and vitamin E was added. A
colorimetric immunoassay for the quantification of cell proliferation was used to measure osteoblast differentiation. Gene
expression was analyzed using a microarray technique. We also used a real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain
reaction (RT-PCR).
Results
It was found that vitamin E enhanced cell proliferation when compared to cells cultured in media without vitamin
E. We focused on 68 genes which are related to osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. Alkaline phosphatase, transforming
growth factor-beta 1, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, matrix metalloproteinase 2, muscle segment homeobox 2, bone
morphogenetic protein 1, biglycan, vascular endothelial growth factor B, dentin sialophosphoprotein, cartilage oligomeric
matrix protein, runt-related transcription factor 2, fibroblast growth factor receptor 3, and SMAD2 were upregulated >
2-fold compared to the control. Conversely, osteopetrosis-associated transmembrane protein 1, microphthalmia-associated
transcription factor, and epidermal growth factor receptor were downregulated > 2-fold compared to the control. Vitamin E
produced a 1.5-fold increase in the expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 and transforming growth factor-beta 1 as
determined by real time RT-PCR.
Conclusion
Vitamin E had a positive effect on the gene expressions regarding osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal
stem cells. |
