Effects of icariin on expression of OPN mRNA and type I collegen in rat osteoblastsin vitro

To study the effects of Icariin on expression of osteopontin (OPN) mRNA and type I collagen in rat osteoblastsin vitro and to explore its possible mechanisms in preventing osteoporosis. OB was isolated from calvaria of new-born new-born fetal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by means of modified sequential collagenase digestion and incubated in MEM medium and the cell morphology was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope, OB was identified by...
