Sulforaphane (SFN) is considered an antioxidant agent, but the biological effects on hypoxia-treated osteoblasts remain unclear. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the effects of SFN on the activity and mineralization of osteoblasts in hypoxia. Osteoblasts were treated with hypoxia with or without SFN, and apoptosis was assayed with caspase 3 Activity Assay Kit and flow cytometer. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured with DCFH-DA. The levels of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulphide were determined by the o-phthalaldehyde fluorimetric assay. Mineralization of Osteoblasts was detected by Alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, and the relative proteins levels were examined by Western blotting. Our results showed that SFN reduced the hypoxia-mediated apoptosis and ROS levels in osteoblasts. The utilization of SFN improved the inhibitory effect of osteoblast mineralization by hypoxia. Additionally, the effect of alleviating hypoxia by SFN will be an increase in osteoblast activity. These findings clarify the effects of SFN on hypoxia-treated osteogenesis and will help identify novel therapeutic strategies for the protection of skeletal health.

Impaired bone quality and increased fracture risk are cardinal features of the skeleton in diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress is proposed as a potential underlying mechanism, but the precise pathogenic mechanism remains incompletely understood. In this investigation, osteoblasts under high glucose exhibited heightened levels of reactive oxygen species, impaired mitochondrial membrane potential, and profound inhibition of late-stage osteoblast differentiation.

Background: Tooth extraction without socket preservation will lead to reduction in the dimensions and volume of the alveolar bone. Bone defects resulting from tooth extraction not only hinder prosthetic reconstruction but also present aesthetic issues and complicating dental implant treatment. Purple leaves contains flavonoids, steroids, tannins, saponins,and non-toxic alkaloids.

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to ankylosis of the axial skeleton. Celecoxib (cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, COX-2i) inhibited radiographic progression in a clinical study of SpA, but in the following study, diclofenac (COX-2 non-selective) failed to show that inhibition. Our study aimed to investigate whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibited bone progression in SpA, and whether celecoxib had a unique function (independent of the COX-inhibitor), compared with the other NSAIDs.

The Forsythia has been used in herbal medicine, and the leaf is also expected to contain various putative bioactive substances. In this study, we investigated the effects of Forsythia viridissima leaf extract (FLE) on bone metabolism. The anti-osteoporotic effect of FLE was determined in male rats fed a low-calcium diet.
