MicroRNA miR-378 Regulates Nephronectin Expression Modulating Osteoblast Differentiation by Targeting GalNT-7
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small fragments of single-stranded RNA containing 18-24 nucleotides, and are generated from endogenous transcripts. MicroRNAs function in post-transcriptional gene silencing by targeting the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of mRNAs, resulting in translational repression. We have developed a system to study the role of miRNAs in cell differentiation. We have found that one of...
متن کاملmiR‑142‑3p promotes osteoblast differentiation by modulating Wnt signaling.
Canonical Wnt signaling is critical for the control of osteoblast differentiation in human mesenchymal stem cells. MicroRNAs (miRs) are essential regulators of cell differentiation by post‑transcriptional regulation of target gene expression. The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanism by which miR‑142‑3p promotes osteoblastic differentiation using the human fetal os...
متن کاملMicroRNA-433-3p promotes osteoblast differentiation through targeting DKK1 expression
Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) is a powerful antagonist of canonical WNT signaling pathway, and is regarded as a biomarker for osteoporosis. Its expression is highly correlated with bone mass and osteoblasts maturation. In this study, mouse primary bone marrow cells and osteoblast cell lines were used. Luciferase reporter assay and western blotting methods were employed to validate if miRNA-433-3p epigeneti...
متن کاملA microRNA regulatory mechanism of osteoblast differentiation.
Growing evidence shows that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate various developmental and homeostatic events in vertebrates and invertebrates. Osteoblast differentiation is a key step in proper skeletal development and acquisition of bone mass; however, the physiological role of non-coding small RNAs, especially miRNAs, in osteoblast differentiation remains elusive. Here, through comprehensive analysis...
متن کاملmTORC1 Signaling Promotes Osteoblast Differentiation from Preosteoblasts
Preosteoblasts are precursor cells that are committed to the osteoblast lineage. Differentiation of these cells to mature osteoblasts is regulated by the extracellular factors and environmental cues. Recent studies have implicated mTOR signaling in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation. However, mTOR exists in two distinct protein complexes (mTORC1 and mTORC2), and the specific role of m...
