Objective: To investigate the roles of daidzein in the expressions of steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) and nuclear receptor corepressor (NcoR) in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells.
Methods: MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in α-minimal essential medium (α-MEM) containing 2% fetal bovine serum and treated with various concentrations of daidzein (10-9, 10-7and 10-5mol/L) or 17β-estradiol at 10-8 mol/L for 3 d. The protein levels of SRC-1 and NcoR in MC3T3-E1 cells were determined by Western blotting. Estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist ICI182780 at 10-7 mol/L or specific ERα antagonist methyl-piperidino-pyrazole (MPP) at 10-6 mol/L were used to block the corresponding receptors, and then MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with daidzein at 10-7 mol/L or 10-5 mol/L for 3 d. SRC-1 and NcoR protein levels were detected by Western blotting.
Results: The protein levels of SRC-1 increased by 2.5 fold (P<0.05) and 2 fold (P<0.05) by 10-7 and 10-5 mol/L of daidzein respectively, while the NcoR levels were not significantly altered. 17β-Estradiol at dose of 10-8mol/L did not affect the expression of SRC-1 but decreased NcoR protein expression by 35% (P<0.05). Compared with the control, daidzein at 10-7and 10-5 mol/L did not increase SRC-1 expression when ERs were blocked by antagonist ICI182780. Daidzein at 10-7 and 10-5 mol/L up-regulated SRC-1 by 1.8 fold (P<0.05) and 2.4 fold (P<0.05) respectively while ERα was blocked by MPP.
Conclusion: Daidzein increases protein level of SRC-1 and the ratio of SRC-1/NcoR. ERβ, instead of ERα, participates in the action of daidzein in regulating SRC-1 expression. Up-regulation of SRC-1 and increase of SRC-1/NcoR are part of the mechanism of the estrogenic effect of daidzein in improving osteogenesis.

Data are presented relative to the control (Ctrl) gene expression level after normalization to GAPDH and expressed as mean±standard deviation (n=4; *P<0.05, vs Ctrl group). SRC-1: steroid receptor coactivator-1; NcoR: nuclear receptor corepressor; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase."

Data are presented relative to the control (Ctrl) gene expression level after normalization to GAPDH and expressed as mean±standard deviation (n=4; *P<0.05, vs Ctrl group). SRC-1: steroid receptor coactivator-1; ERs: estrogen receptors; NcoR: nuclear receptor corepressor; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; MPP: methyl-piperidino-pyrazole; ICI: ICI182780 (Faslodex)."
