Osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is controlled by elaborate genetic programs. lncRNA MALAT1 plays an important role in many diseases. However, the role of lncRNA MALAT1 in BMSCs remains unclear. Isolated Rat BMSCs were cultured and randomly divided into control group, MALAT1 group and MALAT1 siRNA group, in which lncRNA MALAT1 plasmid and lncRNA MALAT1 siRNA were transfected into BMSCs followed by analysis of lncRNA MALAT1 expression by real time PCR, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, ALP activity was analyzed, calcified nodules by alizarin red staining, expression of Smad1 and Smad7 by Western blot as well as Runx2 expression by real time PCR. In MALAT1 group, MALAT1 expression was significantly increased along with significantly inhibited cell proliferation, increased Caspase 3 activity, decreased ALP activity and calcified nodules, reduced expression of Smad1, Smad7 and Runx2 compared with control group (P < 0 05). MALAT1 expression in MALAT1 siRNA group was decreased with significantly promoted cell proliferation, decreased Caspase 3 activity, increased ALP activity and calcified nodules, as well as significantly elevated expression of Smad1, Smad7 and Runx2 compared with control group (P < 0 05). Up-regulation of lncRNA MALAT1 expression inhibits the Smad/Runx2 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting BMSCs proliferation and osteogenesis. Down-regulation of lncRNA MALAT1 expression promotes Smad/Runx2 signaling pathway activation, inhibits BMSCs apoptosis, promotes proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) osteogenic differentiation plays an important role in Osteoporosis (OP). LncRNA DGCR5 participates in OP development. However, LncRNA DGCR5's effect on BMSCs in osteoporosis rats and related mechanisms have not been elucidated. SD rats were divided into control group and OP group. Rat BMSCs were cultured and transfected with LncRNA DGCR5 siRNA followed by analysis of LncRNA DGCR5 expression by Real time PCR, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, of ERK/P38 signaling pathway protein expression by Western blot, ALP activity, and the osteogenic genes Runx2 and OC expression by Real time PCR. LncRNA DGCR51 expression was increased in BMSCs of OP rats. Compared with control group, cell proliferation was significantly inhibited, Caspase 3 activity was increased, p-ERK1/2 and p-P38 were downregulated, ALP activity, Runx2 and OC expression was decreased (P < 0.05). DGCR51 siRNA transfection into OP rat BMSCs significantly reduced DGCR51 expression, promoted cell proliferation, decreased Caspase 3 activity, increased p-ERK1/2 and p-P38 expression, increased ALP activity, Runx2 and OC expression compared to OP group (P < 0.05). LncRNA DGCR51 expression is increased in OP rat BMSCs. Down-regulation of LncRNA DGCR51 promoted the activation of ERK/P38 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the apoptosis of BMSCs and promoting proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSC in OP rats.

Chordin-like 1 (CHRDL1) functions in multiple tissues and organs. However, whether CHRDL1 affects bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation remain unclear. Rat BMSCs were isolated and divided into control group, CHRDL1 group and CHRDL1 siRNA group followed by analysis of CHRDL1 level by real time PCR and ELISA, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, ALP activity, expression of o Runx2, OC and PPARγ2 by Real time PCR, TGF-β secretion by ELIS, and Wnt5 protein expression by Western blot. CHRDL1 expression was significantly increased in CHRDL1 group, along with significantly promoted cell proliferation, decreased Caspase 3 activity, increased ALP activity and expression of Runx2 and OC, decreased PPARγ2 expression, increased TGF-β secretion and Wnt5 expression compared to control group (P < 0.05). However, CHRDL1 siRNA transfection significantly decreased CHRDL1 expression, inhibited cell proliferation, increased Caspase 3 activity, decreased ALP activity and Runx2 and OC expression, increased PPARγ2 expression, decreased TGF-β secretion and Wnt5 expression. (P < 0.05). Down-regulation of CHRDL1 expression in BMSCs promotes Wnt5/TGF-β signaling transduction, which in turn increases BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Up-regulation of CHRDL1 expression in BMSCs inhibited the activation of Wnt5/TGF-β signaling pathway, promoted BMSCs apoptosis, and inhibited BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

The α-calcitonin gene-related peptide (α-CGRP) regulates bone metabolism and has potential applications in enhancing bone remodeling in vivo. However, α-CGRP's role in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) osteogenic differentiation remain unclear. Rat BMSCs were separated into control group, α-CGRP group and α-CGRP siRNA group, in which BMSCs were transfected with α-CGRP plasmid and α-CGRP siRNA respectively followed by analysis of α-CGRP level by real time PCR and ELISA, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, ALP activity, formation of calcified nodules by alizarin red staining, Smad1 and Smad7 level by Western blot and Runx2 by real time PCR. αCGRP transfection into BMSCs significantly up-regulated CGRP, which could promote cell proliferation, inhibit Caspase 3 activity, promote ALP activity, increase calcified nodules formation and upregulate Smad1, Smad7 and Runx2 compared to control (P < 0.05); transfection of αCGRP siRNA significantly down-regulated CGRP in BMSCs, inhibited cell proliferation, promoted Caspase 3 activity, inhibited ALP activity, inhibited calcified nodules formation and downregulate Smad1, Smad7 and Runx2 (P < 0.05). αCGRP overexpression promotes the Smad/Runx2 signaling, which in turn promotes BMSCs proliferation and osteogenesis. Decreased αCGRP level inhibits Smad/Runx2 signaling, promotes BMSCs apoptosis, inhibits proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs is beneficial for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. Silent information regulator (SIRT1) plays a role in endocrine diseases and aging-related diseases. However, the role of SIRT1 in OA has not yet been elucidated. Rat BMSCs were isolated and divided into control group, inflammation group (BMSCs were cultured with IL-6), SIRT1 group (SIRT1 agonist Resveratrol was added under the action of IL-6) followed by analysis of cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, ALP activity, expression of osteogenic genes Runx2 and OC and adipogenic differentiation gene PPARγ2 by Real time PCR, NF-κB expression by western blot and secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 by ELISA. In inflammation group, SIRT1 expression was significantly decreased, cell proliferation was significantly inhibited, and Caspase 3 activity was increased. Meanwhile, ALP activity, Runx2 and OC expression was decreased, PPARγ2 and NF-κB expression was increased, along with elevated TNF-α and IL-6 secretion compared to control (P < 0.05). Resveratrol can significantly promote the expression of SIRT1 in BMSCs of inflammation group, promote cell proliferation, decrease Caspase 3 activity, and increase Runx2 and OC expression. In addition, it decreased PPARγ2 and NF-κB expression and reduced the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 (P < 0.05). The expression of SIRT1 was decreased in BMSCs under inflammation. SIRT1 overexpression in BMSCs under inflammation inhibits inflammation, promotes proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through regulating NF-κB signaling pathway.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be multi-directionally differentiated and are widely used in tissue engineering. 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) can induce osteogenesis and is involved in osteogenic formation. However, the role of 25-hydroxycholesterol in BMSCs is unclear. Rat BMSCs were isolated and divided into control group and 25-HC treatment (2 and 4 μM) group. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. Caspase-3 and ALP activity was analyzed. Real time PCR was done to analyze Runx2, OPN, FABP4 and PPARγ2 expression. Red staining detects the calcified nodule formation. Wnt5 level was detected by western blot and TGF-β secretion was analyzed by ELISA. 25-HC treatment significantly inhibited cell proliferation, increased Caspase 3 activity, decreased ALP activity and the expression of Runx2 and OPN, increased expression of FABP4 and PPARγ2, decreased formation of calcified nodules, secretion of TGF-β and reduced expression of Wnt5 compared to control group (P < 0.05), and the above changes were significant with the increase of the concentration of 25-HC (P < 0.05). 25-hydroxycholesterol regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of BMSCs by regulating Wnt5/TGF-β signaling pathway, inhibiting the differentiation of BMSCs into osteogenic direction and promoting its adipogenic differentiation.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be differentiated into different types of cells. SOX9 involves in the development and progression of various diseases. Our study aims to assess SOX9's effect on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and its related regulatory mechanisms. Rat BMSCs were isolated and randomly divided into control group, SOX9 group and SOX9 siRNA group, which was transfected with pcDNA-SOX9 plasmid or SOX9 siRNA respectively followed by analysis of SOX9 expression by Real time PCR, cell proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase3 and ALP activity, GSK-3β expression and Wntβ/Catenin Signaling pathway protein expression by Western blot, and expression of osteogenic genes Runx2 and BMP-2 by Real time PCR. Transfection of pcDNA-SOX9 plasmid into BMSCs significantly inhibited cell proliferation, promoted Caspase3 activity, decreased ALP activity and downregulated Runx2 and BMP-2, increased GSK-3β expression and decreased Wntβ/Catenin expression protein expression (P< 0.05). SOX9 siRNA transfection significantly promoted cell proliferation, inhibited Caspase3 activity, increased ALP activity and upregulated Runx2 and BMP-2, downregulated GSK-3β and increased Wntβ/Catenin expression. SOX9 regulates BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation through Wntβ/Catenin signaling pathway.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can self-renew with multi-directional differentiation. Mir-149 is involved in various diseases, but whether Mir-149 regulates the survival and differentiation of BMSCs and related mechanisms remains unclear. BMSCs were isolated and randomly divided into Si-NC group, Mir-149 siRNA group, and Mir-149 siRNA + STAT3 inhibitor WP1066 group followed by analysis of the expression of Mir-149, RUNX2 and OPN mRNA by real time PCR, BMSCs proliferation by MTT assay, Caspase 3 activity, ALP activity, formation of type II collagen and IL-6 level by ELISA, as well as STAT3 signaling pathway expression by Western blot. Mir-149 expression was reduced in BMSCs of Mir-149 siRNA group, with promoted survival of BMSCs, decreased Caspase 3 activity, increased expression of RUNX2 and OPN, type II collagen formation, ALP activity, IL-6 secretion, as well as elevated pSTAT3 phosphorylation. The differences were statistically significant compared to Si-NC group (P < 0.05). Mir-149 siRNA + WP1066 inhibited pSTAT3 phosphorylation, reduced BMSCs survival, increased Caspase 3 activity, decreased RUNX2 and OPN expression, type II collagen production, ALP activity, as well as reduced IL-6 secretion. Compared with Mir-149 siRNA group, there were significant differences (P < 0.05). Down-regulation of Mir-149 in BMSCs can promote BMSCs survival and osteogenic differentiation by regulating IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Abstract Background Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) can be used for bone regeneration in the specified condition. Osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs is controlled by microRNAs (miRNAs) and other factors. This study was aimed to identify the role and mechanism of miR-889 in regulating the osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs. Methods Osteoporosis patients and normal control bone tissues were collected and used PCR techniques to identify the change of miR-889 and WNT7A. Moreover, the dynamic change of miR-889 and WNT7A during osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs was also measured. Bioinformatic analysis was performed to identify the target genes and potential pathways of miR-889. Then, we constructed miR-889 mimic and inhibitor, ALP staining, ARS, osteoblastic-related protein, and Wnt β-catenin signaling pathway-related protein were also measured. WNT7A siRNA was also used to verify the function of miR-889. Results In the present study, we showed that miR-889 expression was upregulated in osteoporosis patients than healthy control. However, the miR-889 expression was downregulated during osteogenic differentiation. Bioinformatics analysis found that miR-889 targets 666 genes and mainly through Wnt β-catenin signaling pathway. Administrated miR-889 mimic, the ALP activity, and calcium deposition were decreased than the control group, while miR-889 inhibitor shown the opposite trend. And miR-889 could bind the 3′UTR of WNT7A. We further used WNT7A siRNA to explore the function of miR-889, and the results revealed that co-cultured with miR-889 inhibitor and WNT7A siRNA was associated with a reduction of ALP activity and calcium deposition and osteoblastic-related proteins than miR-889 inhibitor alone. Conclusion Our results revealed that miR-889 plays a negative role in inducing osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through Wnt β-catenin signaling pathway.

Autophagy and apoptosis of chondrocytes participate in spondyloarthritis (SpA). miR-34 involves in various diseases. However, miR-34’s role in autophagy and apoptosis of spine chondrocytes remains unclear. SpA patients and normal bone and articular cartilage tissues were collected, and miR-34 level was detected by Real-time PCR. The chondrocytes of SpA patients were isolated and divided into control group, miR-34 siRNA group and miR-34 group followed by analysis of Caspase 3 activity, cell proliferation by MTT assay, expression of Bax, Bcl-2, ATG5 and Beclin1 by Real time PCR, mTOR/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway protein expression by western blot, as well as TNF-α and IL-6 secretion by ELISA. miR-34 was significantly upregulated in SpA patients compared to normal (P <0.05). miR-34 siRNA transfection into SpA chondrocytes significantly down-regulated miR-34 expression, promoted cell proliferation, decreased Caspase 3 activity and Bax expression, increased Bcl-2, ATG5 and Beclin1 expression, decreased TNF-α and IL- 6 secretion as well as increased pmTOR and pAKT expression (P <0.05). miR-34 mimics was transfected into SpA chondrocytes, which up-regulated miR-34 expression and significantly reversed the above changes (P <0.05). miR-34 is upregulated in SpA patients. Down-regulation of miR-34 inhibits articular chondrocyte apoptosis and promotes autophagy by down-regulatingmTOR/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby promoting articular chondrocyte proliferation and inhibiting joint inflammation.

BMSCs play a role in osteoporosis (OP) and their differentiation can lead to OP progression. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) involves in many diseases, but the effect of HO-1 on osteoblast differentiation of BMSCs in OP rats remains unclear. SD rats were divided into control group and OP group. Rats BMSCs in OP group were cultured in vitro, HO-1 expression was up-regulated by HO-1 agonist hemin, and BMPR inhibitor LDN-19318 was added followed by analysis of HO-1 expression by real time PCR and ELISA, cell proliferation by MTT assay, apoptosis by Caspase 3 activity, BMP-2 expression by Western blot, ALP activity, expression of Runx2 and OC by real time PCR. In OP group, HO-1 expression was significantly decreased, cell proliferation was inhibited, Caspase 3 activity was increased along with decreased ALP activity and expression of Runx2, OC and BMP-2 compared to control (P < 0.05). Up-regulation of HO-1 expression significantly promoted cell proliferation, reduced Caspase 3 activity, increased ALP activity, and expression of Runx2, OC and BMP-2 (P < 0.05). However, inhibition of HO-1 significantly promoted bone differentiation after the addition of BMPR inhibitor LDN-193189 (P < 0.05). HO-1 expression is decreased in BMSCs of OP group rats. Up-regulation of HO-1 promoted BMSCs proliferation in OP rats in BMP-dependent manner, inhibited apoptosis, and promoted osteoblast differentiation.
