Restoring bone defects are the major challenge facing clinical trial therapy, particularly skull related problems. Morin, a naturally occurring compound, has pro-osteogenesis. This research focuses on assessing the role of morin for its pro-osteogenesis activities. We utilized in vivo and in vitro models to investigate the molecular-level mechanisms of morin's osteoblastic biological activity. The effectiveness of morin on pro-osteogenesis (100 mg/kg/day) was assessed by monitoring modifications in the bone histomorphometry score, the development of immature osteoblasts from mesenchymal stems cells and improvements in the expression of pro-osteogenic cytokines in skull defected (SD) mice. Quantitative-PCR, Western blot analysis, and immunofluorescence were studied to investigate the signaling pathways. Morin has a substantial in vivo pro-osteogenesis effect which can facilitate the development of osteoblasts, the production of osteoblast related marker genes, and in vitro protein markers for osteoblasts. From a molecular biology standpoint, morin contributes to the development of osteoblasts and stimulation of the Wnt pathway with the activation and translocation of beta-catenin nuclei. Our findings from the study revealed that morin may be a beneficial substitute for helping regenerate bone defects.
