GATA4 regulates osteogenic differentiation by targeting miR-144-3p.

ABSTRACT: Numerous studies have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) play an important role in regulating osteogenic differentiation, but their specific regulatory mechanism requires further investigation. In the present study, it was revealed that during osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), the expression level of miR-144-3p was decreased with increased osteogenic induction duration and was negatively associated with osteogenic marker gene expression. Overexpression of miR-144-3p inhibited osteogenic differentiation, while inhibition of miR-144-3p expression promoted osteogenic differentiation. In addition, dual-luciferase activity analysis and adenovirus infection experiments revealed that GATA binding protein 4 targeted miR-144-3p for regulation an
