Abstract: This study aims at studying the effects of the total flavonoids of Drynaria Rhizoma (TFDR) on osteogenic differentiation potential of canine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in hypoxic. TFDR was used to intervene canine BMSCs in a low oxygen concentration (10%) environment for 4 weeks to induce osteogenic differentiation. Observation of calcium nodule formation in BMSCs stained with Alizarin Red by an inverted microscope. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity level was detected by colorimetric method. The cell mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of Runx2 and Osterix, the key genes for osteogenic differentiation were detected by RT-PCR and confocal laser microscope. Results were as follows: Compared with the control group, 10% oxygen concentration inhibited the formation of calcium nodules and ALP activity in canine BMSCs (P<0.01), Mitochondrial membrane potential level dropped (P<0.05), and the expression of Runx2 and Osterix decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the hypoxic group, TFDR can significantly promoted the formation of calcium nodules and ALP activity of BMSCs in Hypoxic (P<0.05), the level of cell mitochondrial membrane potential increased (P<0.05), and Runx2 and Osterix expression increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). TFDR can promote the osteogenic differentiation of canine BMSCs in hypoxic.

Key words: hypoxic environment, canine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, total flavonoids of Drynariae Rhizoma, osteogenic differentiation
