Abstract (original English)
Peiminine is a major biologically active component of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq that exhibits good anticancer, antiinflammatory, and anti-osteoclast effects. However, its effects on osteoporosis (OP) remain unknown. This study aimed to explore whether Peiminine was able to regulate osteogenesis and adipogenesis in ovariectomized (OVX) rat. The effects on the differentiation of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), function of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, ALP activity, calcium nodule deposition, as well as adipocyte formation in vitro by Peiminine at different concentrations, were detected. The curative effects of Peiminine on the ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis model by micro-CT and bone histomorphology assays were analyzed. The promotion of osteogenic differentiation and inhibition of adipogenic differentiation by Peiminine (5-40 μg/mL) was detected and the optimum concentration was 20 μg/mL. Mechanistically, Peiminine regulated the fate of BMSCs in vitro, and activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by restraining phosphorylation of β-catenin and promoting the nuclear translocation of β-catenin. Moreover, Peiminine prevented ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by alleviating trabecular bone loss and inhibiting adipose formation. Our data suggested that Peiminine could attenuate ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by alleviating trabecular bone loss and inhibiting adipose formation. These en
