Abstract

To explore the mechanism of soybean isoflavones (SI) on OVX-induced osteoporosis, we investigated the effect of SI on Wnt signaling that emerged as a novel key pathway for promoting bone formation. Results showed that SI decreased bone mineral elements loss, improved biomechanics parameters in OVX rats. Wnt3a activation can promote the dissociation of β-catenin complexes, release of β-catenin monomer and inhibition of β-catenin monomer degradation. SI decreased sost mRNA and sclerosteosis protein expression in a dose-dependent manner, and increased β-catenin proteins expression in femur of OVX rats. These data suggest that SI suppresses the canonical Wnt signal in OVX rats, partially through the enhancement of the dickkopf-1 production. OVX results in decreased estrogen level in rats. SI act as inhibitors of Wnt-mediated activation of by competitively binding to LRP5, and subsequently downregulating β-catenin gene.
