The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of LWDH on KDM7A and Wnt\/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway in DNOP rats and the high glucose-induced MC3T3-E1 cells. A DNOP model was prepared by streptozotocin in 9-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats to evaluate the effects of LWDH. The cell viability and differentiation capacity of high glucose-induced MC3T3-E1 cells were determined by CCK-8 assay, Alizarin Red staining, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, respectively. Furthermore, the expressions of KDM7A and Wnt1\/\u03b2-catenin pathway-related proteins were determined by Western blot analysis. Treatment of DNOP rats with LWDH could significantly ameliorate the general state, degradation of renal function, and renal pathological changes. LWDH decreased the levels of TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1\u03b2, ALP, and TRAP, and increased the calcium, phosphorus in serum, as well as decreased the level of the calcium and phosphorus in the urine. Besides, LWDH significantly improved bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume (BV), and the bone microstructure of DNOP rats. Moreover, LWDH increased the levels of the elastic modulus, ultimate load, and bending strength in the femurs. In MC3T3-E1 cells, serum-containing LWDH significantly increases in cell viability and osteoblastic differentiation capability. The expression of \u03b1-SMA, vimentin, KDM7A, Wnt1 and \u03b2-catenin were significantly down-regulated, and the E-cadherin, H3K9-Me2, H3K27-Me2, BMP-4, BMP-7, Runx2, osteocalcin, and Col1a1 were significantly up-regulated with LWDH treatment. The present study shows that LWDH has a therapeutic effect on DNOP, in part, through down-regulation of KDM7A and Wnt\/\u03b2-catenin pathway.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bsr20201778","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,11]],"date-time":"2020-09-11T06:39:04Z","timestamp":1599806344000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Therapeutic potential of Liuwei Dihuang pill against KDM7A and Wnt\/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway in diabetic nephropathy-related osteoporosis"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8200-670X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ming\u00a0Ming","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Lianyungang Second People\u2019s Hospital, Jiang Su, China"},{"name":"Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, Jiang Su, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Hua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, Jiang Su, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nan\u00a0Ning","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Lianyungang Second People\u2019s Hospital, Jiang Su, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, Jiang Su, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gui\u00a0Cheng","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, Jiang Su, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, Xuzhou Central Hospital, Jiang Su, China"},{"name":"Xuzhou Clinical School, Xuzhou Medical University, Jiang Su, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hai\u00a0Yan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of human anatomy, Xuzhou Medical University, Jiang Su, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111620280350500_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"84","DOI":"10.12659\/MSMBR.909242","article-title":"Migo Ameliorates Insulin Resistance in Rats with Diabetic Nephropathy","volume":"24","author":"Zhao","year":"2018","journal-title":"Med.
