| ObjectiveFrom the view of PI3K/Akt signal pathway of osteoblasts(OB)and osteoclasts(OC),this study used the combination of experiments in vivo and in vitro to reveal the gender difference and mechanism of Yougui Pills in the treatment of osteoporosis in ovariectomized and orchiectomized rats,to further clarify the scientific connotation of"kidney governing bone" and provide experimental basis for the treatment of osteoporosis with traditional Chinese medicine.To clarify the above problems,this study was conducted following four experiments.Experiment 1.The difference of therapeutic effect of Yougui Pill on osteoporosis and its effect on PI3K/Akt signal pathway in ovariectomized and orchiectomized ratsMethodsThree-month-old SPF Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats(78 male and 78 female)were selected.After adaptive feeding,female and male rats were randomly divided into basic group(n=12),normal control group(n=12),sham operation group(n=12)and model group(n=42).At the end of the grouping,the rats in the female and male basic group were killed after anesthesia,and the bone histomorphological index data of lumbar vertebrae and tibia were taken as the basic value.Then,according to the previous method of the research group,the female and male model groups were castrated respectively to prepare the "kidney deficiency"OP rat model.Thirteen weeks after castration,the rats in the model group were randomly divided into ovariectomized(OVX)group(n=13),estrogen group(n=12),female Yougui Pill group(n=12),orchiectomized(ORX)group(n=13),androgen group(n=13)and male Yougui Pill group(n=12).The rats in each treatment group were given intragastric administration respectively.The above groups were given once a day and rested for 1 day every 7 days for 13 weeks.At the end of administration,the rats in each group were killed under anesthesia,and the 4th lumbar vertebrae and bilateral tibia were taken for the detection of Micro-CT bone histomorphology index,and the frozen sections of decalcified bone were made.The expressions of p-PI3K and p-Akt protein in osteoblasts and osteoclasts in tibia bone marrow of rats in each group were detected by immunofluorescence.The expressions of BGP,RANKL,OPG,p-GSK-3 β,β-catenin,RUNX2,TRAP,TRAF-6,c-Src and NFATc1 in rat tibial bone marrow were detected by immunohistochemical method.Results1 Effect of Yougui Pill on the change

rats on the expression of p-PI3K,PI3K,p-Akt,Akt,TRAF6,c-Src and NFATc1 proteins in osteoclastsCompared with the female sham operation group,the protein phosphorylation levels of p-PI3K and p-Akt in the OVX serum group,estrogen group and female Yougui Pill group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group(P<0.01,P<0.05).Compared with the male sham operation serum group,the phosphorylated expression of PI3K and Akt protein in the ORX serum group and the drug-containing serum group of male Yougui Pill increased significantly(P<0.01).The protein phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt in each drug-containing serum group were significantly lower than those in the same sex model group(OVX group/ORX group)(P<0.05,P<0.01).There were significant differences between female and male model group and Yougui Pill group.The phosphorylated expression levels of PI3K and Akt proteins in OVX group were significantly higher than those in ORX group(P<0.05,P<0.01).The level in the female Yougui Pill drug-containing serum group was significantly lower than that in the male Yougui Pill drug-containing serum group(P<0.01).Compared with the female sham operation group,the protein expression levels of TRAF6,c-Src and NFATc1 in the OVX serum group were significantly higher than those in the female sham operation group(P<0.01).Compared with OVX serum group,estrogen and drug-containing serum of female Yougui Pill could significantly reduce the protein expression levels of TRAF6,c-Src and NFATc1(P<0.01).Compared with the male sham operation serum group,the protein expression levels of TRAF6,c-Src and NFATc1 in the ORX group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation serum group(P<0.01).Compared with ORX group,the protein expression levels of TRAF6,c-Src and NFATc1 in androgen group and male Yougui Pill group were significantly decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared between male and female,the level of NFATc1 protein in OVX group was significantly higher than that in ORX group(P<0.05).The TRAF6 of drug-containing serum group of ovariectomized rats was significantly lower than that of orchiectomized rats(P<0.05).Experiment 4.Effects of drug-containing serum of Yougui Pill in ovariectomized and orchiectomized rats on the osteoclast differentiation,function and PI3K/Akt signal pathway under the action of PI3K agonistsMethodThe mouse mononuclear macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was planted into a 96-well plate at 2×103 cells/well or 6×104 cells/well in a 6-well plate.The 96-well plate was pre-placed with bone slices.After the cells adhered to the wall for 24 hours,the differentiation medium(DMEM+10%FB S+50ng/mL RANKL)was added,induced for 48h,added 10μM PI3K agonist 740Y-P to the culture wells of the group
