Inflammation is a contributing factor in osteocyte apoptosis, which is strongly associated with the development of glucocorticoid-associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GA-ONFH). Curcumin is a naturally derived drug that regulates immunity and inhibits inflammation. This study aimed to examine the capacity of curcumin to prevent osteocyte apoptosis and GA-ONFH, while elucidating possible mechanisms of action. C57/BL6 female mice were divided into control, GA-ONFH, and curcumin-treated GA-ONFH groups. We determined the effect of curcumin on the polarization of RAW264.7 and the apoptosis of MLO-Y4 cells. We found that curcumin reduced the infiltration of M1-type macrophages in the femoral heads and alleviated systemic inflammation in GA-ONFH models. Additionally, curcumin decreased the apoptosis of osteocytes in the femoral heads and the ratio of GA-ONFH in mice. Further, in vitro curcumin intervention inhibited M1-type polarization via the Janus kinase1/2-signal transducer and activator of transcription protein1 (JAK1/2-STAT1) pathway. Taken together, this study demonstrates that curcumin is effective in preventing osteocyte apoptosis and the development of GA-ONFH in a mouse model. Curcumin prevents inflammatory-mediated apoptosis of osteocytes in part through inhibition of M1 polarization through the JAK1/2-STAT1 pathway. These findings provide novel insights as well as a potential preventive agent for GA-ONFH. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
