Abstract
Non-coding RNAs, including long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and micro-RNA (miRNA), have been implicated in osteoporosis (OP) progression by regulating osteoblast-dependent bone metabolism. Herein, we investigated whether LINC01234, miR-513a-5p, and AOX1 regulate osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The expression of LINC01234, miR-513a-5p, and AOX1 was monitored using RT-qPCR or western blotting. Cell proliferation was assessed using a CCK8 assay. Alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) and alizarin red dye staining were performed to determine osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, the expression of osteoblast differentiation markers, such as ALP, BMP1 (bone morphogenetic protein 1), osteocalcin (OCN), and osteopontin (OPN), was determined by RT-qPCR. Luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were performed to verify the interplay between miR-513a-5p and LINC01234 or AOX1. Compared with the plasma of healthy controls, LINC01234 and AOX1 were highly expressed in the plasma of patients with OP, whereas miR-513a-5p showed low expression. In contrast, LINC01234 and AOX1 expression displayed a gradual decrease in induced differentiated hMSCs, while miR-513a-5p expression was upregulated with induction time. The predicted binding sites between miR-513a-5p and LINC01234 or AOX1 were verified by luciferase reporter and RIP assays. LINC01234 silencing induced osteogenic differentiation and proliferation in vitro, and miR-513a-5p silencing blunted osteogenic differentiation and proliferation modulated by LINC01234. AOX1 silencing caused by miR-513a-5p enhances osteogenic proliferation and differentiation. LINC01234 sponging of the miR-513a-5p/AOX1 axis impeded the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, favoring OP progression.
