Objectives: To learn how high concentration in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) acts on the expression of genes related to bone metabolism in osteoblast cell lines and human trabecular bone. Material and methods: The differential expression of several genes related to bone metabolism (SOST, RUNX2, MMP14, OPG, HIF-1α and SIRT1) in two human osteoblastic cell lines (Saos and Super-Saos) and in human trabecular bone fragments subjected to one, three or five HBO sessions (90 minutes, 100% oxygen; 2.3 atmospheres). In each experiment, a control that did not receive HBO was used. Results: We did not find significant differences after HBO in the expression of the genes studied, neither in the cells nor in trabecular bone. Only in the Super-Saos cell line the expression of OPG after 5 sessions of HBO decreased 6 times with respect to that of the control group (2-ΔCt Ct of 72; p=0.01). Conclusions: High concentration oxygen in the hyperbaric chamber (HC) does not seem to influence the expression of genes related to bone metabolism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
