Abstract: Objective: To reveal the mechanism of GBE promoting osteogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs. Methods: 150mg/L GBE was applied to the third generation of rat BMSCs, while the inhibitor group underwent a pretreatment of SB203580, which was the specific inhibitor of P38 MAPK signaling pathway. The results were evaluated by ARS dye, ALP activity assay and RT-PCR. Results: Statistically significant difference was found between the control group and the inhibitor group. In the inhibitor group, extracellular calcium deposition, ALP activity and the expression of osteogenic-related genes including ALP, BMP-2, OCN and Runx2 were lower than the control group. Conclusion: GBE promoted osteogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs by upregulating the P38 MAPK signaling pathway.
