PMSC osteogenic differentiation in the presence of IGFs and low oxygen tension. Summary diagram showing stem cell differentiation model in room air versus low oxygen. PMSCs can differentiate into osteogenic lineage only in room air, while maintaining PMSCs in low oxygen tension impedes this differentiation process. (A) In low oxygen tension, nondifferentiation conditions maintain self-renewal (higher proliferation) and IGF-2 can maintain higher expression of OCT4 and SOX2. (B) In differentiation media, PMSCs show an impeded differentiation with higher OCT4 and SOX2 and lowered RUNX2, which recovers following room air exposure. (C) In room air, spontaneous differentiation occurs with lower OCT4 and SOX2 and lower RUNX2. (D) In differentiation media, PMSCs fully differentiate towards osteoblastic progenitors with higher RUNX2 and OPN, which enhanced by IGF-1. Cell morphology and alizarin red staining increase as PMSCs lose multipotency and commit to the osteogenic lineage.

Figure 6. Transient knockdown of IGF-1Rαβ reduces calcium deposition concomitantly with a decrease in phosphorylated GSK-3β at Ser9. MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded at a density of 2000 cells/cm2 and transfected with silencing RNA for IGF-1Rαβ (siIGF-1Rαβ) 48 h before stimulation with 100 µg/mL FO or 2 mM GP. (A) Total mRNA was extracted, and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed. GAPDH was used as an internal control. (B) After 7 days, the cells were stained with alizarin red for calcium deposition, and images were captured. (C) Three days after treatment with FO, total proteins were isolated and Western blotting was performed to measure the protein level of phosphorylated GSK-3β at Ser9 (left). Total GSK-3β and β-actin were used as internal controls. The expression of IGF-1Rαβ and phosphorylated GSK-3β at Ser9 relative to GAPDH and total GSK-3β levels is illustrated (right). Significant differences among the groups were determined using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni correction. All data are presented as mean ± SEM (* p < 0.05 and *** p < 0.001 vs. untreated MC3T3-E1 cells). FO, fermented oyster (C. gigas) extract.

Figure 7. FO promotes bone formation and growth by activating the IGF-1/IGF-1R signaling pathway. FO upregulates growth-promoting genes such as insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), thereby promoting the release of IGF in osteoblast cells. The secreted IGF-1 binds to its specific receptor, IGF-1R, in an autocrine or paracrine manner and subsequently triggers the downstream signaling pathway. Once the IGF-1/IGF-1R complex is formed, it initiates the GSK-3β phosphorylation at Ser9. Phosphorylated GSK-3β subsequently releases RUNX2, which in turn promotes bone formation and growth. FO, fermented oyster (C. gigas) extract; IGF-1R, insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor; GSK-3β, glycogen synthase kinase-3β; RUNX2, runt-related transcription factor 2.
