Osteoblasts are very sensitive to fluoride and play a key role in the occurrence and development of skeletal fluorosis. Therefore, in recent years, people pay more and more attention to the deep exploration of the mechanism of fluoride on osteoblasts. In the study of the pathogenesis of chronic fluorosis, free radicals and oxidative stress are also one of the hotspots in recent years.
Creative Bioarray established the oxidative stress model of osteoblast cells by stimulating it with NaF.
We can also adjust the modeling process according to the specific needs of customers, provide administration experiment, pharmacology, efficacy evaluation and pharmacokinetic analysis, and assist customers to study osteoblast stress and / or pathological significance, which has important theoretical significance for clarifying orthopaedic related diseases.
Fluorosis will weaken the body's ability to resist free radicals, reduce antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbic acid, and increase free radicals in the body.
The third-generation osteoblasts were taken from the calvaria of suckling mice and cultured with NaF at appropriate concentration and time to induce cell stress.
Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. The apoptosis rate was analyzed by flow cytometry and TUNEL assay. Protein levels were detected by Western blot.
Using the established osteoblast oxidative stress model, we can help customers explore the antioxidant effect of antioxidants in cells and provide corresponding experimental reports. The changes of intracellular lipid peroxidation products (MDA) and antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPX) activities before and after the action of antioxidants were observed.
