Abstract

In this study, we investigated the improvement of osteoporosis by sialoglycoproteins isolated from the eggs of Carassius auratus (Ca-SGP) in ovariectomized rats. Ca-SGP was supplemented to ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley rats for 90 days. The results showed that Ca-SGP treatment remarkably prevented the reduction of bone mass, improved cancellous bone structure and biochemical properties. Ca-SGP also significantly decreased the serum contents of TRAP, Cath-K, MMP-9, DPD, CTX-1, Ca, and P. Mechanism investigation revealed that Ca-SGP significantly increased the OPG/RANKL ratio in mRNA expression, protein expression and serum content. Further research suggested that NF-κB signaling pathways were inhibited by suppressing the mRNA and protein expressions of NFATc1 and TRAF6, diminishing the mRNA expression and phosphorylation of NF-κB p65, three key transcription factors in NF-κB pathways. These results suggest that Ca-SGP can improve osteoporosis by inhibiting bone resorption via suppressing the activation of osteoclastogenesis related NF-κB pathways.
