  • Low-magnitude vibration promotes osteogenesis of osteoblasts in ovariectomized osteoporotic rats via the estrogen receptor α

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of low-magnitude vibration on osteogenesis of osteoblasts in ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis via estrogen receptor α(ERα). The mRNA expression of osteogenic markers were examined with qRT-PCR, based on which the optimal vibration parameter for promoting osteogenesis was determined (45 Hz × 0.9 g, g = 9.8 m/s2). Then we loaded the optimal vibration parameter on the osteoblasts of ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis. The protein expression of osteogenic markers and ERα were detected with Western blot; the distribution of ERα was examined with immunofluorescence technique. Finally, through inhibiting the expression of ERα with estrogen receptor inhibitor ICI182780, the protein and mRNA expression of osteogenic markers were examined. First, the results showed that low-magnitude vibration could promote the expression of osteogenic markers and ERα in osteoblasts of ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis (P < 0.05), and make ERα transfer to the nucleus. On the other hand, the results also showed that after inhibiting the expression of ERα in osteoblasts of ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis, the protein and mRNA expression of osteogenic marker were decreased (P < 0.05). In our study, low-magnitude vibration played an important role in the osteogenesis of osteoblasts in ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis through increasing the expression and causing translocation of ERα. Furthermore, it provides a theoretical basis for the application of low-magnitude vibration in the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
