Abstract

Background/objectives: This study evaluated the beneficial effects of an ethanol extract of gum resin (FJH-UBS) in osteoporosis.

Materials/methods: MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells and RAW 264.7 osteoclastic cells were treated with FJH-UBS. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization, collagen synthesis, osteocalcin content, and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and Osterix expression were measured in MC3T3-E1 cells. The actin ring structures, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity, and the nuclear factor of activator T-cells, cytoplasm 1 (NFATc1) expression were evaluated in RAW 264.7 cells. Ovariectomized ICR mice were orally administered FJH-UBS for eight weeks. The bone mineral density (BMD) and the serum levels of osteocalcin, procollagen 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), osteoprotegerin, and TRAP 5b were analyzed.

Results: FJH-UBS increased the ALP activity, collagen, osteocalcin, mineralization, and RUNX2 and osterix expression in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells, whereas it decreased the TRAP activity, actin ring structures, and NFATc1 expression in RAW 264.7 osteoclastic cells. In ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis mice, FJH-UBS positively restored all of the changes in the bone metabolism biomarkers (BMD, osteocalcin, P1NP, osteoprotegerin, and TRAP 5b) caused by the ovariectomy.

Conclusion: FJH-UBS has anti-osteoporotic activity by promoting osteoblast activity and inhibiting osteoclast activity and , suggesting that FJH-UBS is a potential functional food ingredient for osteoporosis.
