miR-372下调Runx2表达抑制成骨细胞矿化
miR-372-mediated downregulation of Runx2 inhibits osteoblasts mineralization
摘要
Abstract
Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of miR-372 on Runx2 expression and its impact on osteoblast mineralization.Methods Bioinformatic software(Target Scan,miRanda,RNAhybrid)was used to predict microRNAs(miRNAs)that target Runx2,the binding ability of miR-372 to Runx2 was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments.Western blotting analysis was performed to evaluate the regulatory effects of miR-372 on Runx2 protein expression.Osteoblast mineralization was induced using ascorbic acid andβ-glycerophosphate treatment.The functional impact of miR-372 mediated Runx2 regulation on osteoblast mineralization was assessed by measuring Alkaline Phosphatase(ALP)activity and mineralized nodules formation.Results Dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments confirmed direct binding of miR-372 to the Runx2.Western blotting indicated that overexpression of miR-372 in transfected osteoblasts signficantly suppressed Runx2 protein expression,while silencing miR-372 led to elevated Runx2 protein levels.After mineralization induction,ALP activity and mineralization quantitative detection showed miR-372 reuced ALP activity(P＜0.05)and inhibited minerali-zation(P＜0.05)by suppressing Runx2 expression,which was more obvious especially after Runx2 silencing.Conclusion miR-372 can inhibits osteoblast mineralization by downregulating Runx2 expression.关键词
