ABSTRACT: Objective
Osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disorder. Multiple profiling studies have contributed to characterizing biomarkers and therapeutic targets for osteoporosis. However, due to the limitation of the platform of miRNA sequencing, only a part of miRNA can be sequenced based on one platform.Materials and methods
In this study, we performed miRNA sequencing in osteoporosis bone samples based on a novel platform Illumina Hiseq 2500. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to construct osteoporosis-related competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks. Gene interference and osteogenic induction were used to examine the effect of identified ceRNA networks on osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs).Results
miR-1303 was lowly expressed, while cochlin (COCH) and KCNMA1-AS1 were highly expressed in the osteoporosis subjects. COCH knockdown improved the osteogenic differentiation of HBMSCs. Meanwhile, COCH inhibition compensated for the suppression of osteogenic differentiation of HBMSCs by miR-1303 knockdown. Further, KCNMA1-AS1 knockdown promoted osteogenic differentiation of HBMSCs through downregulating COCH by sponging miR-1303.Conclusions
Our findings suggest that the KCNMA1-AS1/miR-1303/COCH axis is a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for osteoporosis.
