Objective:To estimate the bone protective effect of alpinumisoflavone,a natural prenylated isoflavonoid,against glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in rats.Methods:Male Wistar rats received intramuscular administration of dexamethasone(4 mg/mL)at a dose level of 7 mg/kg for 5 weeks,and then alpinumisoflavone(5,10,and 15 mg/kg)and alendronate(2 mg/kg)from 2 weeks.The body weight and organ weight(femoral,vagina,and uterus)were estimated.MicroCT analysis,bone turnover markers,bone parameters,oxidative stress parameters,and inflammatory cytokines were estimated.mRNA expressions of related genes were also estimated.Results:Alpinumisoflavone remarkably boosted body weight and organ weight(ureters and vagina),improved microCT analysis parameters,and boosted levels of bone markers.Besides,alpinumisoflavone considerably(P<0.001)restored the level of bone turnover markers and oxidative stress parameters,remarkably suppressed the level of cytokines such as interleukin-1β,interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor-α,and increased transforming growth factor-β and insulin-like growth factor.It also significantly restored the osteoprotegerin(OPG,RANKL,and OPG/RANKL ratio)levels and the mRNA expression of Caspase(3,6,7,9),BMPs,OPN,ALP,RUNX2,and OCN.Conclusions:The current result suggests the bone protective effect of alpinumisoflavone against glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in rats.
