Abstract
BACKGROUND
Polysaccharides from Grifola frondosa(GFP) have gained worldwide attention owing to their promising biological activities and potential health benefits.
PURPOSE
This study aimed to investigate the effects of GFP on alleviation of osteoporosis in ovariectomized (OVX) mice and examine the underlying mechanism.
METHOD
A mouse model of postmenopausal osteoporosis was established by OVX method, Forty eight C57BL/6 female mice were randomly divided into Normal group, OVX alone (Model group, n = 8), OVX + 10 mg/kg GFP (GFP-L group, n = 8), OVX + 20 mg/kg GFP (GFP-M group, n = 8), OVX + 40 mg/kg GFP (GFP-H group, n = 8), OVX + 10 mg/kg Estradiol valerate (Positive group, n = 8).
RESULTS
The results showed that compared with Model group, the concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1β, interleukin (IL)-6 and Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were significantly reduced, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) were significantly increased, the content of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were significantly reduced, and the proteins levels of PINK1, Parkin, Beclin-1 and LC3-II were significantly decreased in the GFP groups.
CONCLUSION
This study demonstrates that GFP alleviates ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis via reduced secretion of inflammatory cytokines, improvement in the oxidative stress status in the body, and inhibition of the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway.
