Abstract: Objective:Search for the key miRNA that regulate mouse bone marrow stromal stem cells (mBMSCs) osteogenesis in the microenviroment of estrogen-deficiency-induced osteoporosis.To investigate the key miRNA whether involved in the osteogenic differentiation of mBMSCs and the effect in this progress in estrogen-deficiency-induced osteoporosis.Methods:An ovariectomized animal model was employed. Screen the key miRNA through combination of bioinformatics methods and microRNA gene chip technology in the mBMSCs derived from OVX and Sham mice. Real-time RT-PCR was used to detect the levels of key miRNA in these types of mBMSCs. The miR-21 function was investigated by transfecting pre-miR-21 and anti-miR-21 into mBMSCs. And osteogenic gene and protein expression was determined by Alizarin Red S, Oil red O staining, real-time RT-PCR and Western blot analysis, respectively.Results:OVX model were sucessfully build. And miR-21 were screened. Real-time RT-PCR shows that miR-21 in OVX-mBMSCs decreased compared with Sham-mBMSCs. Upregulation miR-21 in OVX-mBMSCs. Real-time RT-PCR, Western blot, Alizarin Red S and ALP staining suggested the potential osteogenesis of mBMSCs were enhanced..Conclusions:miR-21 was the key miRNA that regulate mBMSCs osteogenesis in the microenviroment of estrogen-deficiency-induced osteoporosis. And miR-21could promote the potential of mBMSCs in nomal and estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis.
