Abstract: PURPOSE: To study the effect of bone morphogenetic protein-2(BMP-2) combined with strontium ranelate (Sr) on osteogenic differentiation of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs), and explore the related mechanisms. METHODS: Log-phase BMSCs were taken and randomly divided into control group (without any induction solution treatment), BMP-2 group (0.1 mg/L BMP treatment), Sr group (5 mmol/L Sr treatment), BMP-2+Sr group (after treatment with 0.1 mg/L BMP for 6 days, changed the solution and added 5 mmol/L Sr for treatment). Cell proliferation was detected by MTT experiment. Alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity was detected by nitrophenyl phosphate method. Mineralization was observed by alizarin red staining. Protein expression of transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1), Smad2, p-Smad2, and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) were detected by Western blot. SPSS 24.0 software package was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the ALP activity of BMP-2 group, Sr group, and BMP-2+Sr group were enhanced, of which MTT experimental absorbance(A) value, the percentage of mineralized area and the expression of TGF-β1 and Runx2 protein, p-Smad2/Smad2 were significntly increased(P<0.05). Compared with BMP-2 group and Sr group, the ALP activity of the BMP-2+Sr group were enhanced, of which MTT experimental A value, the percentage of mineralized area and the expression of TGF-β1 and Runx2 protein, p-Smad2/Smad2 were significantly increased(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: BMP-2 combined with Sr can promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in rats, the mechanism of which may be related to the activation of TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway.
