MiR‐199b‐5p inhibits osteogenic differentiation in ligamentum flavum cells by targeting JAG1 and modulating the Notch signalling pathway

چکیده
Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) is a pathology almost only reported in East Asian countries. The leading cause of OLF is thoracic spinal canal stenosis and myelopathy. In this study, the role of miR-199b-5p and jagged 1 (JAG1) in primary ligamentum flavum cell osteogenesis was examined. MiR-199b-5p was found to be down-regulated during osteogenic differentiation in ligamentum flavum cells, while miR-199b-5p overexpression inhibited osteogenic differentiation. In addition, JAG1 was found to be up-regulated during osteogenic differentiation in ligamentum flavum cells, while JAG1 knockdown via RNA interference caused an inhibition of Notch signalling and osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, target prediction analysis and dual luciferase reporter assays supported the notion that JAG1 was a direct target of miR-199b-5p, with miR-199b-5p found to down-regulate both JAG1 and Notch. Further, JAG1 knockdown was demonstrated to block the effect of miR-199b-5p inhibition. These findings imply that miR-199b-5p performs an inhibitory role in osteogenic differentiation in ligamentum flavum cells by potentially targeting JAG1 and influencing the Notch signalling pathway.

MiR-132-3p Regulates the Osteogenic Differentiation of Thoracic Ligamentum Flavum Cells by Inhibiting Multiple Osteogenesis-Related Genes
Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) is a disorder of heterotopic ossification of spinal ligaments and is the main cause of thoracic spinal canal stenosis. Previous studies suggested that miR-132-3p negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation. However, whether miR-132-3p is involved in the process of OLF has not been investigated. In this study, we investigated the effect of miR-132-...
متن کاملEpigenetic silencing of microRNA-199b-5p is associated with acquired chemoresistance via activation of JAG1-Notch1 signaling in ovarian cancer
Epithelial ovarian cancer is a highly lethal and aggressive gynecological malignancy. The high mortality rate is due in part to the fact that many advanced cancer patients become refractory to current chemotherapeutic agents, leading to tumor recurrence and death. However, the underlying mechanisms leading to chemoresistance remain obscure. Here, we report that the loss of miR-199b-5p due to pr...
متن کاملOverexpression of miR‑199b‑5p inhibits Ewing's sarcoma cell lines by targeting CCNL1.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to regulate the expression of a variety of genes, which are important in the development of several types of tumor, including Ewing's sarcoma (ES), at the post‑transcriptional level. Although previous studies have identified that the expression of miRNA‑199b‑5p was downregulated in various types of tumor, the expression levels of miR‑199b‑5p in ES cells remain to be...

Aberrant Notch signalling plays an important role in cancer progression. However, little is known about the interaction between miRNA and the Notch signalling pathway and its role in gastric cancer (GC). In this study, we found that miR-124 was down-regulated in GC compared with adjacent normal tissue. Forced expression of miR-124 inhibited GC cell growth, migration and invasion, and induced ce...

BACKGROUND Through negative regulation of gene expression, microRNAs (miRNAs) can function in cancers as oncosuppressors, and they can show altered expression in various tumor types. Here we have investigated medulloblastoma tumors (MBs), which arise from an early impairment of developmental processes in the cerebellum, where Notch signaling is involved in many cell-fate-determining stages. MBs...
