The invention provides a method for improving the osteogenesis ability of mesenchymal stem cells, which comprises the following steps: inoculating the mesenchymal stem cells into an alpha-MEM culturemedium containing 10% of fetal calf serum, culturing, digesting and subculturing by 0.2% of pancreatin when the fusion degree of the mesenchymal stem cells is 80-85%, inoculating the obtained mesenchymal stem cells into an alpha-MEM culture medium containing 10% of fetal calf serum for culture, and adding osteogenesis induction liquid and a metformin aqueous solution for induction when the densityof the mesenchymal stem cells is greater than 90% for induction for 14-21 days. The metformin acts on the mesenchymal stem cells, alizarin red staining results show that the metformin can significantly improve the calcium mineralization nodule degree of the cells, and it is indicated that the metformin has a significant induction effect on mesenchymal stem cell osteogenic differentiation, the metformin can significantly improve the expression of the mesenchymal stem cell osteogenic differentiation related genes SIRT1, ALP, COL1A1, RUNX2 and BGLAP, and the improvement of the osteogenic differentiation capacity of the mesenchymal stem cells is of great significance to stem cell transplantation and bone biology research.
