Abstract
Piper sarmentosum (PS), a medicinal plant with pharmacological properties,
has yet to be investigated for its potential in stem cell-based osteogenesis
using non-polar extracts. This study investigated the osteoinductive potential of a hexane-based extract of PS on human peripheral blood stem cells
(PBSCs). PBSCs were cultured for 14 days and characterized using SLAMF1 and CD34 stem cell markers. PBSCs were treated with several
concentrations of the PS hexane extract to induce osteoblast differentiation.
Osteoblast differentiation was assessed through alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
activity, mineralization assays, and osteoblast-specific gene expression
profiling (ALP, RUNX2, OPN, OCN). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
(GC-MS) analysis identified 13 non-polar bioactive compounds in the extract,
with β-asarone and phytol as predominant
constituents. The 1 μg/mL concentration of the
extract demonstrated optimal osteogenic potential, as evidenced by ALP activity
comparable to positive controls, increased mineral deposition, and upregulation
of osteogenic genes. These findings suggest that non-polar compounds in PS extract,
especially β-asarone and phytol, possess osteoinductive properties, offering a potential natural
approach for bone regeneration applications via stem cell-mediated pathways.
Keywords:

Abstrak
Piper sarmentosum (PS) merupakan tumbuhan ubatan yang mempunyai ciri farmakologi. Walau bagaimanapun, potensi ekstrak tidak-berkutub PS melibatkan aruhan sel stem kepada osteogenesis masih belum dikaji.
Oleh itu, penyelidikan ini adalah untuk menentukan potensi osteoinduktif ekstrak PS berasaskan pelarut heksana terhadap proses
osteogenesis melibatkan sel stem darah periferi manusia (PBSC). PBSC telah dikulturkan selama 14 hari serta dicirikan menggunakan penanda sel stem SLAMF1 dan CD34. PBSC kemudiannya dirawat menggunakan beberapa kepekatan ekstrak heksana PS untuk mengaruh pembezaan osteoblas. Pembezaan osteoblas pula ditentukan melalui aktiviti alkali fosfatase (ALP), pemineralan dan profil pengekspresan gen yang khusus kepada osteoblas (ALP, RUNX2, OPN dan OCN). Analisis kromatografi gas-spektrometri jisim (GC-MS) pula telah mengenal pasti sebanyak 13 sebatian bioaktif tidak-berkutub dalam ekstrak PS denganβ-aseron dan fitol sebagai bahan utama. Kepekatan ekstrak pada 1 µg/mL telah menunjukkan potensi osteogen yang optimum, melalui aktiviti ALP yang setanding dengan kawalan positif, peningkatan pemendapan mineral dan peningkatan pengawalaturan gen osteogen. Penemuan ini mencadangkan bahawa sebatian tidak-berkutub yang terdapat di dalam ekstrak PS, terutamanyaβ-aseron dan fitol mempunyai ciri osteoinduktif. Ini menunjukkan pendekatan bahan semula jadi berpotensi untuk diaplikasikan dalam penjanaan semula tulang menggunakan sel stem.
