Abstract

Introduction: The function of promoting bone regeneration of Moutan Cortex (MC), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been widely known but, the effective components of MC in promoting osteoblast-mediated bone regeneration were still unclear.

Objective: The method of osteoblast membrane bio-specific extraction conjugated with HPLC analysis was established to screen bone regeneration active components from MC.

Methods: The fingerprints, washing eluate and desorption eluate of MC extract were analyzed by the established HPLC-DAD method. The established MC3T3-E1 cells membrane chromatography method was used for the bio-specific extraction of MC. The isolated compounds were identified by MS spectrometry. The effects and possible mechanisms of the isolated compounds were evaluated by molecular docking, ALP activity, cell viability by MTT Assay and proteins expression by Western Blot Analysis.

Results: The active compound responsible for bone regeneration from MC was isolated using the established method of osteoblast membrane bio-specific extraction conjugated with HPLC analysis, and it was identified as 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-β-galloyl-D-glucose (PGG) by MS spectrometry. It was further demonstrated through molecular docking that PGG could fit well into the functional ALP, BMP2, and Samd1 binding pocket. The proliferation of osteoblasts was promoted, the level of ALP was increased, and the protein expression of BMP2 and Smad1 was increased as shown by further pharmacological verification.

Conclusion: It was concluded that PGG, the bone regeneration active compound from MC, could stimulate the proliferation of osteoblasts to promote osteoblast differentiation, and its mechanism might be related to the BMP/Smad1 pathway.
