Menaquinone-4 (Vitamin K2) is a vitamin K2 containing four isoprene units and belongs to the naphthoquinone family [1]. Menaquinone-4 is mainly formed through the conversion of intracellular vitamin K1 and accumulates in various tissues, playing an important role in protecting the heart and brain and building strong bones [2]. Menaquinone-4 can be used as a hemostatic agent and is used to treat osteoporosis [3].
In vitro, Menaquinone-4 (0, 1.0, 5.0 and 10.0μM; 0, 3, 7 and 11 days) increased the ALP activity in Caco-2 cells in a time-dependent manner, and the expression of TNSALP mRNA also increased [4]. In LPS-induced MG6 cells, Menaquinone-4 (0-10μM; 24h) dose-dependently inhibited the upregulation of inflammatory cytokines at the mRNA level, significantly reduced the phosphorylation of p65, but did not affect TAK1 and IKKα/β. Menaquinone-4 could inhibit the nuclear translocation of NF-κB in LPS-induced MG6 cells [5].
In vivo, Menaquinone-4 (200mg/kg diet; 12 weeks) increased the serum osteocalcin level in obese mice induced by a high-fat diet and increased the bone density of mice [6]. Menaquinone-4 (40mg/kg/day; i.p.; single injection) significantly reduced the content of iron metabolism genes in mice with acute liver injury induced by CCl4, and the mRNA expression levels of FPN and HJV significantly increased, while the mRNA expression level of TFR1 significantly decreased [7].

Menaquinone-4 (Vitamin K2)是一种含有四个异戊二烯单元的维生素K2,属于萘醌家族 [1]。 Menaquinone-4主要通过体内维生素K1的转化形成,并在各种组织中积累,在保护心脏和大脑、构建强壮的骨骼过程中发挥重要作用 [2]。Menaquinone-4可用作一种止血剂并且可以治疗骨质疏松 [3]。
在体外,Menaquinone-4(0, 1.0, 5.0和10.0μM; 0, 3, 7和11 days)以时间依赖性增加了Caco-2细胞中的ALP活性,同时TNSALP mRNA表达增加 [4]。在LPS诱导的 MG 6细胞中,Menaquinone-4(0-10µM; 24h)在mRNA水平上剂量依赖性地抑制炎性细胞因子的上调,显著降低p65的磷酸化,但不影响TAK 1和IKKα/β。Menaquinone-4可抑制LPS诱导的MG 6细胞NF-κB核转位 [5]。
在体内,Menaquinone-4(200mg/kg饮食; 12周)提高了高脂饮食诱导的肥胖小鼠的血清骨钙素水平,同时增加了小鼠的骨密度 [6]。Menaquinone-4(40mg/kg/day; i.p.; 单次注射)显著降低CCl4诱导的急性肝损伤小鼠的铁代谢基因含量,FPN和HJV的mRNA表达水平显著增加,TFR 1 mRNA表达水平显著降低 [7]。
Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Caco-2 cells |
Preparation Method | Caco-2 cells were grown at 37°C in 5% CO2 in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% nonessential amino acids, and antibiotics (100U/mL penicillin, 50μg/mL streptomycin, and 100μg/mL of neomycin). Menaquinone-4 was kindly supplied by Eisai Co. MK-4 was dissolved in ethanol and stored at -20°C in the dark until use. Caco-2 cells were plated at a density of 2-5 × 104 cells/cm2 onto a 35-mm2. Cells were incubated for 2 to 3 days until 60%-70% confluency, and desired concentrations of Menaquinone-4 (0, 1.0, 5.0 and 10.0μM) were added. The final concentration of the vehicle was 0.1% of the culture medium, and the culture medium was changed twice a week. Cells were assayed on days 0, 3, 7 and 11 after the addition of Menaquinone-4. |
Reaction Conditions | 0, 1.0, 5.0 and 10.0μM; 0, 3, 7 and 11 days |
Applications | Menaquinone-4 increased the ALP activity in Caco-2 cells in a time-dependent manner, and at the same time, the expression of TNSALP mRNA also increased. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | C57BL/6J mice |
Preparation Method | Forty-two male, 4-week-old C57BL/6J mice were purchased from Central Lab Animal Inc., Korea. For environmental adaptation, the animals had 1 week of circulation, and then were provided with the experimental diet after being randomly divided into 6 groups (7 animals in each group; randomized block design). The AIN-93G diets consisted of a normal diet (N), normal diet + vitamin K1 (N-K1), normal diet + Menaquinone-4, 45% high-fat diet (HF), 45% high-fat diet + vitamin K1 (HF-K1), and a 45% high-fat diet + Menaquinone-4. The vitamin K1 and Menaquinone-4 contents were 200mg/1,000g, and the diet was provided in pellet form. The details are listed in Table 1. Food intake amount was measured every other day. Body weight was measured once a week, and the food efficiency ratio (FER) was calculated by dividing the increased body weight from day 1 to the final day by the food intake amount during the experiment period. For fat amount measurement, the epididymal fat, perirenal fat, and retroperitoneal fat were extracted from dead animal subjects, were washed with 0.9% NaCl, dried by filter paper, and then were weighed. |
Dosage form | 200mg/kg of diet for 12 weeks |
Applications | Menaquinone-4 increased the serum osteocalcin levels in obese mice induced by a high-fat diet, and also enhanced the bone density of the mice. |
