Abstract EN
The molecular mechanisms how bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiate into osteoblast need to be investigated.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs.
However, the effect of miR-346-5p on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs is not clear.
This study is aimed at elucidating the underlying mechanism by which miR-346-5p regulates osteogenic differentiation of human BMSCs.
Results of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining indicated that upregulation of miR-346-5p suppressed osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, whereas downregulation of miR-346-5p enhanced this process.
The protein levels of the osteoblastic markers Osterix and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) were decreased in cells treated with miR-346-5p mimic at day 7 and day 14 after being differentiated.
By contrast, downregulation of miR-346-5p elevated the protein levels of Osterix and Runx2.
Moreover, a dual-luciferase reporter assay revealed that Transmembrane Protein 9 (TMEM9) was a target of miR-346-5p.
In addition, the Western Blot results demonstrated that the TMEM9 protein level was significantly reduced by the miR-346-5p mimic whereas downregulation of miR-346-5p improved the protein level of TMEM9.
These results together demonstrated that miR-346-5p served a key role in BMSC osteogenic differentiation of through targeting TMEM9, which may provide a novel target for clinical treatments of bone injury.
