Abstract
Objectives: Bone formation and bone resorption continuouslyoccur in bone tissue to prevent the accumulation of old bone, thisbeing called bone remodeling. Osteoblasts especially play a crucialrole in bone formation through the differentiation and proliferation.Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of collagenhydrolysate Glycine-Prolyl-Hydroxyproline (Gly-Pro-Hyp) onosteoblastic proliferation and differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells.Methods: Four groups including control, Gly-Pro-Hyp 20 μM,100 μM, 500 μM groups were set up in this study. Cells werecultured with blank control medium or Gly-Pro-Hyp of thedifferent dosages for 24 h. CCK 8 assay was analyzed cellproliferation. Assay of Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)activity wasanalyzed osteoblast differentiation. The expression levels of ALP,Col 1, Runx 2 and Osterix in MC3T3-E1 cells were measured byWestern blot. Results: The results indicated the treatment of Gly-Pro-Hyp promoted the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells andimproved ALP activity. In addition, cells treated with Gly-Pro-Hypsignificantly upregulated protein expression of ALP, type 1collagen, runt-related transcription factor 2 and osterix.Conclusion: The results demonstrate that Gly-Pro-Hyp promotedifferentiation inducement and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells,therefore may help to elucidate the transcriptional mechanism ofbone formation and possibly lead to the development of bone-forming drugs.
