Abstract: BACKGROUND/AIM: An effective bone regenerative method needs to be established for the dental field. To identify a novel osteogenic factor for bone regeneration, we examined the effect of vignacyanidin (VIG) on osteoblastogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: W20-17 cells, MC3T3-E1 cells, and primary cultured murine calvarial osteoblasts were used. Osteoblast differentiation was stimulated by β-glycerophosphate, ascorbic acid, or bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-4. Adipogenesis was induced using dexamethasone, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, insulin, and rosiglitazone. Differentiation or proliferation markers were determined using western blotting and/or the quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Adipogenic cells were visualized by Oil Red O staining. RESULTS: VIG treatment increased the expression of osteoblastic markers and alkaline phosphatase activity of osteoblast-lineage cells in a concentration-dependent manner. However, adipogenesis and cell proliferation were not affected by VIG. CONCLUSION: VIG treatment promoted osteoblast differentiation in osteoblast-lineage cells.
