摘要

Osteoblasts play a key role in bone remodeling. Recent studies have reported that some hypertrophic chondrocytes co-expressing collagen I(Col I) and collagen X (ColX) could directly transdifferentiate into osteoblasts during endochondral ossification. However, whether nutrition intervention is beneficial to this transformation to improve osteoporosis (OP) remains unknown. In this study, ovariectomy (OVX)-induced OP mice were orally administered with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in different molecular forms for 13 weeks. The results showed that both DHA-triglyceride (DHA-TG) and DHA-phosphatidylcholine (DHA-PC) increased the bone mineral density and bone mineral apposition rate in ovariectomized mice, while DHA-ethyl esters (DHA-EE) had little effect. Interestingly, we found that both DHA-PC and DHA-TG increased the height of the growth plate, mainly increasing the number of hypertrophic chondrocytes. Further investigation by simultaneously labeling ColX and ColI indicated that DHA-PC and DHA-TG promoted the number of chondrocyte-transdifferentiated osteoblasts in the growth plate close to the diaphysis, in which DHA-PC performed better than DHA-TG. Apoptosis was not the only fate of hypertrophic chondrocytes. Western blot results showed that both DHA-TG and DHA-PC downregulated the Bax and cleaved-caspase3 expression and upregulated Bcl-2 expression in the growth plate, suggesting that chondrocyte apoptosis is inhibited. Runx2, the key regulator of chondrocyte-to-osteoblast transdifferentiation, was significantly increased by DHA-TG and DHA-PC, while DHA-EE had no effect on the above indicators. To our best knowledge, this is the first report that both DHA-PC and DHA-TG enhanced bone formation via promoting the chondrocyte-to-osteoblast transdifferentiation in the growth plate, contributing to the amelioration of OP. These activities depend on the molecular forms of DHA and their bioavailabilities. Our results provide guidance for the application of fish oil for bone health.
