Tóm tắt

Medullary bone is a unique tissue in the long bones cavities of lay hens, and plays an important role as a calcium reservoir for egg-shell formation. Medullary bone formation requires the synergistic action of estrogen and androgen on osteoblasts during the early stage of sexual maturity. The objective of the current study was to investigate the effects of 17β-estradiol, testosterone, and the combination on the proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, apoptosis, the cell cycle of chicken osteoblasts in vitro. The proliferation of osteoblasts was examined with the MTT assay. Apoptosis and the cell cycle were assessed with flow cytometry. Either 17β-estradiol (200 pg ml−1) or testosterone (100 pg ml−1) or the combination (100 pg ml−1 each) significantly enhanced osteoblast proliferation and ALP activity, accelerated the osteoblast cell cycle, and stimulated osteoblast DNA synthesis in a period of 24 h. 17β-estradiol, used alone or with testosterone, inhibited chicken osteoblast apoptosis; However, testosterone alone induced cell apoptosis. In conclusion, 17β-estradiol combined with testosterone promoted osteoblast proliferation and ALP activity, accelerated the osteoblast cell cycle, inhibited osteoblast apoptosis.
