Daidzein alleviates osteoporosis by promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis coupling.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postmenopausal osteoporosis and osteoporosis-related fractures are world-wide serious public health problem. Recent studies demonstrated that inhibiting caveolin-1 leads to osteoclastogenesis suppression and protection against OVX-induced osteoporosis. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of caveolin-1 mediating bone loss and the potential therapeutic target.

Methods

Thirty C57BL/6 female mice were allocated randomly into three groups: sham or bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) surgeries were performed for mice and subsequently daidzein or vehicle was administrated to animals (control, OVX + vehicle and OVX + daidzein). After 8-week administration, femurs were harvested for Micro-CT scan, histological staining including H&E, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence,
