3-(4-methoxyl)-1-(2-(4-coumarin)prop)-2-en-1-one inhibits the differentiation of Gaoyou duck embryonic osteoclasts in vitro

摘要

This study determined the influence of 3-(4-methoxyl)-1-(2-(4-coumarin) prop)-2-en-1-one (MCPEO) on the differentiation of Gaoyou duck embryo osteoclasts cultured in vitro. Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) were harvested from 23-day-old Gaoyou duck embryos and induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) in the presence of MCPEO at different concentrations (i.e., 1, 5, 10, 20, and 40 mu M). Cell viability measurement, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, resorption activity assay, and co-staining with Tetramethylrhodamine (TRITC)-conjugated phalloidin and Hoechst 33,258 were conducted. Results indicated that MCPEO influenced the cell viability of the M-CSF + RANKL-induced BM-MNCs in a concentration-dependent manner, reduced the formation of positive multinucleated cells, and restrained the resorption capability of osteoclasts. Microfilament and nuclear staining indicated that MCPEO restricted the differentiation of BM-MNCs into large multinucleated osteoclasts. In short, MCPEO can inhibit the differentiation of BM-MNCs into mature osteoclasts in duck embryos. Therefore, MCPEO is a promising agent for the treatment of poultry osteoporosis.
