Xianling Gubao attenuates high glucose-induced bone metabolism disorder in MG63 osteoblast-like cells.

ABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients are prone to osteoporosis, and high glucose (HG) can affect bone metabolism. In the present study, we investigated the protective effects of traditional Chinese herbal formulation Xianling Gubao (XLGB) on HG-treated MG63 osteoblast-like cells. MG63 cells were incubated with control (mannitol), HG (20 mM glucose) or HG + XLGB (20 mM glucose+200 mg/L XLGB) mediums. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were examined using CCK8, colony-formation, flow cytometry, Hoechst/PI staining, wound-healing and transwell assays, respectively. ELISA, RT-PCR and western blot analysis were used to detect the levels of osteogenesis differentiation-associated markers such as ALP, OCN, OPN, RUNX2, OPG, and OPGL in MG63 cells. The levels of the PI3K/Akt signaling
