Abstract Objective To studying the interaction between the SIRT1 gene and the PI3K-AKT pathway and investigate the effect of SIRT1 on osteoblast differentiation. Methods Osteoblasts were extracted from the skull of Sprague Dawley rats and cultured for 3~4 passages.Then Cells were randomized into control group,resveratrol group and resveratrol + EX-527 group.Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to determine the cytotoxicity of resveratrol and EX-527.Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red S staining were used to detect ALP levels and calcium nodules,respectively.Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the production of type I collagen to determine the differentiation of cells.The expression of SIRT1,Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2),Osteopontin (OPN) and the phosphorylation levels of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K)andprotein kinaseB(AKT).Results Resveratrol and EX-527 had no effect on cell proliferation (P>0.05).ALP level and calcium nodules increased significantly after addition of resveratrol,but decreased significantly after addition of EX-527.The amont of Type I collagen were up-regulated because of the resveratrol.The expression of RUNX2 and OPN in osteoblast increased with the increase of SIRT1 expression (P<0.01 or P<0.001).When SIRT1 was inhibited,the protein expression of related factors also decreased (P<0.001).Concurrently,the phosphorylated levels of PI3K and AKT also showed SIRT1-dependent up-regulation and down-regulation (P<0.05 or P<0.001).Conclusion The effect of SIRT1 on rat osteoblast differentiation may be mediated through the PI3K-AKT pathway.
