title: [Regulating effects of whole-body vibration on protein expression of p-GSK3β in bone marrow cells of ovariectomized osteoporosis rats].
abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of whole-body vibration on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in bone marrow cells of ovariectomized osteoporosis rats. Thirty-six healthy 3-month old female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the following three groups by body weight: sham-operation (Sham), ovariectomized (OVX), and OVX whole-body vibration (WBV) groups. Ten weeks after ovariectomization, the rats of WBV group received vibration treatment (90 Hz, 15 min) twice per day. At the end of 8-week vibration, the whole-body bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition were detected by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in vivo. The protein expressions of β-catenin and p-GSK3β in both bone marrow cells and bone marrow stromal cells were detected by Western blot. The results showed that, compared with OVX group, WBV group showed decreased fat mass and fat mass content, as well as increased lean body mass content. The BMD of the proximal tibia in WBV group was significantly higher than that in OVX group, however, there was no difference of BMD in whole-body and other positions between the two groups. The β-catenin expression in bone marrow stromal cells showed no difference between OVX and WBV groups. The p-GSK3β expression of bone marrow cells was increased in WBV group compared with that in OVX group, whereas bone marrow stromal cells from two groups did not exhibit the difference of the p-GSK3β expression. These results suggest that whole body vibration can stimulate the protein expression of p-GSK3β in bone marrow cells of ovariectomized osteoporosis rats, which could improve the bone loss induced by ovariectomization.
