Article Title: The Biphasic Activity of Auricularia Auricula-Judae Extract on Bone Homeostasis through Inhibition of Osteoclastogenesis and Modulation of Osteogenic Activity

doi: 10.4014/jmb.2408.08055

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Pre-osteoclast cells were cultured with either the vehicle (DMSO) or AAJE at concentrations of 1, 3, 10, 30, and 100 μg/ml, concurrently with M-CSF (50 ng/ml) and RANKL (30 ng/ml) for a duration of four days. Following this incubation period, multinucleated osteoclasts were visualized using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. ( B ) The number of TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts was quantified (left panel), and TRAP activity was assessed (right panel). Statistical significance was determined with * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001, compared to the vehicle control. ( C ) The effect of AAJE on the viability of pre-osteoclast cells was evaluated using the CCK-8 assay, conducted in triplicate.

doi: 10.4014/jmb.2408.08055

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMM) cells were stimulated with M-CSF (50 ng/ml) and RANKL (30 ng/ml) in the presence of either a vehicle control (DMSO) or AAJWE (10 μg/ml) for the specified duration. Total RNA was subsequently extracted using TRIzol reagent, and mRNA expression levels were assessed via real-time PCR, with GAPDH serving as the internal control. Statistical significance was determined with * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001, compared to the vehicle control. ( B ) The impact of AAJWE on the protein expression levels of RANKL-induced transcription factors was analyzed through Western blotting. BMM cells were pre-treated with either the vehicle or AAJWE (10 μg/ml) prior to stimulation with RANKL (30 ng/ml) and M-CSF (50 ng/ml) for the indicated duration. Cell lysates were subjected to SDSPAGE and transferred to a PVDF membrane. Western blotting was conducted using specific antibodies for each molecule as indicated, with β-Actin utilized as the internal control. A representative result from three independent experiments, which yielded consistent findings, is presented.
