Earthworm (Pheretima aspergillum) extract stimulates osteoblast activity and inhibits osteoclast differentiation
BACKGROUND The potential benefits of earthworm (Pheretima aspergillum) for healing have received considerable attention recently. Osteoblast and osteoclast activities are very important in bone remodeling, which is crucial to repair bone injuries. This study investigated the effects of earthworm extract on bone cell activities. METHODS Osteoblast-like MG-63 cells and RAW 264.7 macrophage cell...
متن کاملOsteoblast and osteoclast differentiation in modeled microgravity.
Prolonged microgravity experienced by astronauts is associated with a decrease in bone mineral density. To investigate the effect of microgravity on differentiation of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, we used a NASA-recommended, ground-based, microgravity-simulating system, the Rotary Cell Culture System (RCCS). Using the RCCS, we demonstrated that modeled microgravity (MMG) inhibited osteoblastoge...
متن کاملMangiferin positively regulates osteoblast differentiation and suppresses osteoclast differentiation
Mangiferin is a polyphenolic compound present in Salacia reticulata. It has been reported to reduce bone destruction and inhibit osteoclastic differentiation. This study aimed to determine whether mangiferin directly affects osteoblast and osteoclast proliferation and differentiation, and gene expression in MC3T3‑E1 osteoblastic cells and osteoclast‑like cells derived from primary mouse bone ma...
متن کاملEffect of oral administration of Pheretima aspergillum (earthworm) in rats with cerebral infarction induced by middle-cerebral artery occlusion.
We investigated the curative effect of Pheretima aspergillum (earthworm, PA) on rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo). The MCAo-induced cerebral infarction was established and its underlying mechanisms by counting the infarction areas and evaluating the rats' neurological status. Immunostaining was used to test the expression of NeuN, and glial fibrillary acidic (GFAP), S100B, and b...
متن کاملGlycerophosphocholines of the earthworm, Pheretima asiatica.
The lipid composition of the earthworm, Pheretima asiatica (Annelida), was analyzed. Four glycerophospholipids, together with four known glycosphingolipids, were isolated in pure form. The former four were 1-alkyl 2-acyl glycerophosphocholines possessing a C17:0 and/or C18:1 fatty acid residue. Their structures, including the position and geometry of the double bond, were determined on the base...
