Abstract

Introduction Maintaining bone health is crucial for overall well-being, with osteoblasts playing a vital role in bone formation. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) is a key regulator, stimulating bone matrix synthesis and osteoblast differentiation. Recognizing BMP2's significance, there's growing interest in natural compounds, such as . This study explores potential influence on BMP2 mRNA expression in osteoblast cells for insights into bone health modulation. Materials and methods This research utilized to explore its impact on MG-63 cells, a human osteoblast cell line. Osteoblast cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, and maintained at 37°C in a 5% CO2 and 95% air environment. Cell viability was evaluated by seeding osteoblast cells into 96-well plates and exposing them to different concentrations of (2.0 μg/ml and 20 μg/ml). The study observed both the promotion of osteoblast cell growth in MG-63 and morphological changes in the cells under an inverted light microscope at 10x magnification. Results were presented using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) conducted with IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23 (Released 2015; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States). Result The reverse transcription-polymerase chain (RT-PCR) results revealed an increased expression of BMP-2 mRNA fold change in comparison to the control group. A clear positive correlation was observed between the BMP-2 mRNA fold change and the notable increase in the concentration of . This investigation revealed a direct association of BMP-2 mRNA expression with the proliferation of osteoblast cells. Specifically, the BMP-2 mRNA fold change was recorded at 2.26±1.05 in at 2.0 μg/ml and 2.0 ± 0.84 at 20 μg/ml, with corresponding significances of 0.00, respectively. Conclusion Potential effects of on BMP-2 mRNA expression in osteoblast cells and its role in bone health modulation revealed that may upregulate BMP-2 mRNA expression, suggesting its potential as a natural compound for enhancing bone formation. The observed positive correlation between concentration and BMP-2 mRNA fold change showed the significance of this botanical agent in promoting osteoblast cell proliferation. These results highlight the importance of further research to explore the applications of in managing bone disorders and improving overall bone health.
