Title: | Oleanolic acid exerts osteoprotective effects and modulates vitamin D metabolism | Authors: | Cao, S Dong, XL Ho, MX Yu, WX Wong, KC Yao, XS Wong, MS |
Issue Date: | Feb-2018 | Source: | Nutrients, Feb. 2018, v. 10, no. 2, 247, p. 1-20 | Abstract: | Oleanolic acid (OA) is a triterpenoid with reported bone anti-resorption activities. The present study aimed to characterize its bone protective effects in vivo and to study its effects on vitamin D metabolism, both in vivo and in vitro. OA significantly increased bone mineral density, improved micro-architectural properties, reduced urinary Ca excretion, increased 1,25(OH)2D3 and renal CYP27B1 mRNA expression in mature C57BL/6 ovariectomised (OVX) mice. OA also improved bone properties, Ca balance, and exerted modulatory effects on renal CYP27B1 and CYP24A1 expressions in aged normal female Sprague-Dawley rats. In addition, OA significantly increased renal CYP27B1 mRNA and promoter activity, and suppressed CYP24A1 mRNA and protein expressions in human proximal tubule HKC-8 cells. OA exerted bone protective effects in mature OVX mice and aged female rats. This action on bone might be, at least in part, associated with its effects on Ca and vitamin D metabolism. The present findings suggest that OA is a potential drug candidate for the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis. | Keywords: | Aging Calcium Oleanolic acid Osteoporosis Ovariectomised Vitamin D |
