Experimental study of resveratrol-solid lipid nanoparticles in promotion of osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) on enhancing the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro by resveratrol (Res), and provide a method for the treatment of bone homeostasis disorders. MethodsRes-SLNs were prepared by high-temperature emulsification and low-temperature solidification method, and then the 2nd-3rd generation BMSCs from Sprague Dawley rat were co-cultured with different concentrations (0, 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 20 μmol/L) of Res and Res-SLNs. The effects of Res and Res-SLNs on the cell viability of BMSCs were detected by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) and live/dead cell staining; the effects of Res and Res-SLNs on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs were detected by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red S (ARS) staining after osteogenic differentiation induction, and the optimal concentration of Res-SLNs for gene detection was determined.
