Abstract
AbstractOsteoporosis is the most prevailing primary bone disease and a growing health care burden. The aim of this study was to clarify the functional roles and mechanisms of the circ-ITCH regulating osteogenic differentiation of osteoporosis. Circ-ITCH and yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) levels were downregulated, but the miR‐214 level was upregulated in osteoporotic mice and patients. Knockdown of circ-ITCH inhibited the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralized nodule formation, and expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OCN) during osteogenic induction. Furthermore, miR-214 was a target of circ-ITCH, knockdown of miR-214 could impede the regulatory effects of sh-circ-ITCH on osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, miR-214 suppressed hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation by downregulating YAP1. Finally, in vivo experiments indicated that overexpression of circ-ITCH could improve osteogenesis in ovariectomized mice. In conclusion, circ-ITCH upregulated YAP1 expression to promote osteogenic differentiation in osteoporosis via sponging miR-214. Circ-ITCH could act as a novel therapeutic target for osteoporosis.
