Effects of ginkgo biloba on in vitro osteoblast cells and ovariectomized rat osteoclast cells

Abstract: Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) has a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM)-like biphasic effect on estrogen, and could be a potential alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Here, we investigated whether GBE can ameliorate estrogen-depleted osteoporosis in in vitro osteoblast cells and in estrogen-deprived ovariectomized (OVX) rats, a classical animal model for postmenopausal osteoporosis. GBE (50-150 microg/mL) significantly increased ALP (Alkaline phosphatase) activity of osteoblast cells, indi… Show more

“…In vitro studies demonstrated a proliferation of positive dose-response of EGb on the culture of osteoblastic-like cells -MC3T3-E1 -and suggested that the antioxidant activity of the extract protected osteoblasts from cellular damage and death when they were exposed to the action of free radicals (Haramaki et al, 1994;Brayboy et al, 2001). Cells from the Saos-2 (human osteoblast-like cells) lineage exposed to EGb increased the production of alkaline phosphatase, thus promoting osteoblast mineralization (Oh et al, 2008). Furthermore, quercetin and kaempferol, two of the major components of EGB, exert a potent inhibitory effect on bone resorption inducing apoptosis of osteoclasts (Wattel et al, 2003) and can stimulate osteoblastic activity (Prouillet et al, 2004).…”

“…The occurrence of osteoporosis is associated with decreased osteoblastic activity and increased osteoclastic activity [Riggs and Melton, 1988]. SaOS-2 cells have been used to assess the effect of herbal compounds on the proliferation, differentiation and matrix mineralization of osteoblastic cells Huh et al, 2006;Oh et al, 2008]. Multiple signaling pathways that affect osteoblast function converge to and are being coordinated by Runx2.…”

“…O EGb, in vitro, causou aumento significativo de fosfatase alcalina óssea, promovendo mineralização pelos osteoblastos (Oh et al, 2008). Estudo recente com administração oral do EGb 761 demonstrou aumento da massa óssea de ratas com osteoporose induzida por ovariectomia (Trivedi et al, 2009).…”
