| Abstract | Osteoporosis leads to increased bone fractures and net bone loss, in part because of the dysfunction of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Leptin is an adipokine that plays important roles in many biological processes, including the regulation of the actions of mesenchymal stem cells. Our aim is to investigate the osteogenic effects of leptin in osteoporotic BMSCs in vitro and in vivo. The leptin gene was transferred into BMSCs isolated from osteoporotic rats by using recombinant adenoviruses. Once the gene and protein expression of leptin had been confirmed, MTT assays were performed; leptin overexpression was confirmed not to affect the viability of osteoporotic BMSCs. However, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity measurements, Alizarin red staining and analyses by quantitative real-time reverse transcription with the polymerase chain reaction revealed that leptin upregulated ALP activity, mineral deposition and the mRNA levels of runt-related transcription factor 2, ALP and collagen type І. Lastly, the effects of leptin on osteogenic differentiation were assessed in vivo. Cells transfected with leptin exhibited increased osteogenic differentiation and enhanced formation of bone-like structures. This study thus reveals, for the first time, that the overexpression of leptin in osteoporotic BMSCs (1) enhances their capacity to differentiate into osteoblasts and to form bone-like tissue and (2) might be a useful skeletal regenerative therapy in osteoporotic patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
