In order to investigate the effect of fluid shear stress on the proliferation of osteoblasts and the regulatory role of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in cell proliferation, a new method based on endoplasmic reticulum stress and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway stress-mediated was proposed. Taking MG63 osteoblasts as the research object, they were inoculated on glass slides (G group), polished titanium sheets (P group), and sandblasted acid-base treated pure titanium sheets (S group). In addition, FSS of 0 dunes/cm2 (static group) and 12 dunes/cm2 (stress group) were given, respectively. Then, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) and β-catenin in MG63 cells. The results showed that the expression levels of β-catenin mRNA and protein in cells in the stress group were significantly increased ( P < 0.05 ), and the protein expression level of LRP5 was significantly decreased ( P < 0.05 ). The expression level of LRP5 in group S was greatly inhibited, while the expression level of β-catenin was significantly upregulated. Therefore, FSS can stimulate the expression of LRP5 and β-catenin in osteoblasts. Fluid shear stress can promote osteoblast proliferation in vitro; the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is involved in regulating fluid shear stress to promote osteoblast proliferation.
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.
