Background: It is reported that the osteogenesis in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can alleviate osteoporosis progression. It has been found that Kae can promote the osteogenesis in BMSCs. However, the mechanism by which Kae mediates the osteogenesis in BMSCs is largely unknown.
Methods: RBMSCs were collected from rats. The cytotoxicity of Kae was detected by CCK-8 assay. The osteogenic calcification in rBMSCs was measured by alizarin red staining, and ALP staining was performed to test the ALP activity in rBMSCs. The binding relationship between SOX2 and miR-124-3p was explored by dual luciferase report assay and Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP). RT-qPCR and western blot were performed to assess mRNA and protein levels, respectively.
Results: Kae (10 μM) significantly increased the calcification, ALP activity, SOX2 level, activated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling and inhibited miR-124-3p level in rBMSCs, while knockdown of SOX2 reversed this phenomenon. Meanwhile, SOX2 suppressed the transcription of miR-124-3p, and SOX2 promoted the osteogenic differentiation in rBMSCs via regulation of miR-124-3p. MiR-124-3p could inactivate PI3K/Akt/mTOR to inhibit the osteogenic differentiation.
Conclusion: Kae significantly promoted the osteogenesis in rBMSCs via mediation of SOX2/miR-124-3p/PI3K/Akt/mTOR axis. Thus, our study might shed new lights in exploring new methods against osteoporosis.

Vascularized bone tissue engineering for osteogenesis is considered a key approach for the repair of critical bone defects. Icariin(ICA) has been employed in bone tissue engineering for osteogenesis in several studies, demonstrating significant angiogenic and osteogenic effects in vivo in rat models. However, the in vivo angiogenic and osteogenic effects of Icariside II (ICSII), a gastrointestinal metabolite of ICA, remain unclear.

Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) frequently invades the jaw, and surgical treatment often leads to bone defects requiring reconstruction with titanium plates. To enhance the anti-tumor and bone regeneration properties of titanium, a selenium-modified hydroxyapatite coating was developed on titanium surfaces.
Methods: Selenium-modified hydroxyapatite coatings was fabricated using micro-arc oxidation (MAO).

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata (RRP), a widely used traditional Chinese medicine and a processed form of Rehmannia glutinosa, is primarily utilized to supplement kidney function and promote bone health. Clinical evidence suggests that RRP exhibits significant efficacy in the treatment of osteoporosis (OP). However, the precise mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects remain incompletely understood.

Repairing critical bone defects remains a formidable challenge in regenerative medicine. Scaffolds that can fill defects and facilitate bone regeneration have garnered considerable attention. However, scaffolds struggle to provide an ideal microenvironment for cell growth and differentiation at the interior of the bone defect sites.

Although ICA and ICSII have demonstrated osteogenic differentiation- promoting effects on BMSCs, there is limited literature comparing their effects and underlying mechanisms. This study aimed to compare the osteogenic effects of Icariin and Icariside II, along with their respective osteogenic mechanisms.
