Activation of cannabinoid receptor type 2-induced osteogenic differentiation involves autophagy induction and p62-mediated Nrf2 deactivation

摘要

Alterations in CNR2, autophagy molecules, and Nrf2 during osteogenic differentiation in vitro To stimulate osteogenic differentiation, hFOB 1.19 cells were transferred from 34 °C to 39 °C, and cultured for indicated periods. ALP activities of hFOB 1.19 cells were determined via a commercial kit. The expression levels of osteopontin and osteocalcin, two osteogenic markers, were analyzed with real-time PCR. Cell mineralization was determined with Alizarin red staining. mRNA expression levels of CNR2 and GAPDH were determined with RT-PCR. - Protein levels of CNR2, LC3, beclin 1, p62 and Nrf2 (nuclear and cytoplasmic) were determined with western blotting, and normalized to that of GAPDH or laminB.
