Icaritin enhances osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) while it inhibits adipogenic differentiation of MSCs.
Icaritin enhances osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). It may have estrogen-like activities.
Icaritin is a component of Epimedium flavonoid isolated from Herba Epimedii, which enhances osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) while it inhibits adipogenic differentiation of MSCs by inhibiting PPAR-g pathway. Icaritin has no effect on MSCs proliferation. Also, icaritin potently inhibits chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and breast cancer cells proliferation most likely by modulation of MAPK/ERK/JNK and JAK2/STAT3 /AKT signaling. As other flavonoids, icaritin may exert estrogen-like activities.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Icaritin on the proliferation and decidualization of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs). A total of 20 specimens of endometrium were collected during hysterectomy at the Gynecology Department of Shenzhen
Utilization of small molecules in modulation of stem cell self-renewal is a promising approach to expand stem cells for regenerative therapy. Here, we identify Icaritin, a phytoestrogen molecule enhances self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Icaritin increases mESCs proliferation
We found that Icaritin, an intestinal metabolite of Epimedium-derived flavonoids (EF) enhanced osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) only under osteogenic induction conditions. We also demonstrated its effect on inhibition of adipogenic differentiation of MSCs. Unlike the findings of
To explore the effects of Icaritin on chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells and underlying mechanisms. CML cells were incubated with various concentration of Icaritin for 48 hours, the cell proliferation was analyzed by MTT and the apoptosis was assessed with
