ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of FTY720-P on the differentiation and maturation of MC3T3-E1 cells.MethodsThe MC3T3-E1 cells were divided into the experimental group and the control group. In the experimental group, the cells were induced by the medium containing 400 ng/mL FTY720-P (chloroform as solubilizer) in vitro. In the control group, the cells were cultured with the medium only containing chloroform. The cell morphology of 2 groups were observed by inverted phase contrast microscope; the expression of osteoblast related protein (collagen type Ⅰ and collagen type Ⅲ) was detected by immunofluorescence staining; the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red staining were used to observe the formation of osteoblasts and the formation of mineralized nodules in 2 groups; and the TUNEL fluorescence assay was used to detect the cell apoptosis.ResultsAfter 48 hours of culture, the cells of 2 groups had grown into slender fusiform at the bottom of the bottle, and there was no significant difference in cell morphology between 2 groups. Immunofluorescence staining showed that the expression of collagen type Ⅰ was positive in the experimental group and weakly positive in the control group; the integrated absorbance (IA) value of the experimental group was 187 600±7 944, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (14 230±1 070) (t=43.680, P=0.001). The expression of collagen type Ⅲ was weakly positive in the experimental group and the control group, and there was no significant difference in IA value between 2 groups (t=1.976, P=0.119). ALP staining and alizarin red staining were positive in the experimental group and negative in the control group. TUNEL staining was positive in the experimental group and negative in the control group; the rate of TUNEL staining positive cells in the experimental group was 35.82%±2.99%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (2.28%±0.51%) (t=23.420, P=0.002).ConclusionFTY720-P can promote the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells with speeding up maturation and mineralization of extracellular matrix and affect the apoptosis of the cells.
