Osteoporosis is an age-related systemic bone disease that places a heavy burden on patients and society. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of naringin (NAR) on the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs). The results demonstrated that NAR pretreatment effectively abated H2O2-induced cell death and ROS accumulation in ADSCs undergoing osteogenic differentiation (ADSCs-OD). In addition, we also observed that the impaired extracellular matrix mineralization and ALP activity in H2O2-stimulated ADSCs-OD were notably rescued by NAR pretreatment. Moreover, the effects of H2O2 exposure on Wnt/β-catenin signaling in ADSCs-OD were largely reversed by NAR pretreatment. Collectively, our findings indicated that NAR could protect ADSCs-OD against H2O2-inhibited osteogenic differentiation.
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.
