Protective effect of quercitrin against hydrogen peroxide-induced dysfunction in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells.
The protective effect of quercitrin on the response of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells to oxidative stress was evaluated. Osteoblasts were incubated with H(2)O(2) and/or quercitrin, and markers of osteoblast function and oxidative damage were examined. Quercitrin treatment reversed the cytotoxic effect of H(2)O(2) significantly (P<0.05). This effect was blocked by ICI182780 and LY294002, suggesting that quercitrin's effect might be involved in estrogen action and results from PI3K mediated signaling pathway. Pretreatment of quercitrin increased collagen content, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and calcium deposition of osteoblasts compared with H(2)O(2) treated cells and these effects were blocked by ERKs and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) inhibitors such as PD98059 and SB203580, respectively. These suggest that quercitrin-induced protective effect against osteoblast dysfunction by oxidative stress is associated with increased activation of ERKs and p38 MAPK. Pretreatment with quercitrin also reduced the increase in bone-resorbing factor, receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL) and oxidative damage markers (malondialdehyde, protein carbonyl, and nitrotyrosine) induced by H(2)O(2). These results suggest that quercitrin may be protective against H(2)O(2)-induced dysfunction in osteoblasts.
