Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The hypothesis of the present study is that overexpression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) promotes preosteoblast maturation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The preosteoblast cell line MC3T3-E1 was transfected with OPG overexpression. OPG expression was confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot. Changes in the transcription factors in OPG-expressing cells were assessed by real-time polymerase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Alkaline phosphate (ALP) expression was measured by ELISA. RESULTS: The success of stable transfection of MC3T3-E1 cells with OPG overexpression was confirmed by MoFlow sorting followed by G418 selection. RT-qPCR showed that expression of RunX2, the most important osteoblast differentiation controlling factor, was suppressed. Smad1 and Akt1, as well as ALP, were upregulated in the OPG overexpressing cells. CONCLUSION: Results from the present study provide evidence that overexpression of OPG in preosteoblasts promotes its differentiation into mature osteoblasts.
