Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) interfere with the translation of specific target mRNAs and are thought to thereby regulate many cellular processes. However, role miRNAs in osteoblast mechanotransduction remains be defined. In this study, we investigated ability a miRNA respond different mechanical environments mechano-induced differentiation. First, demonstrated that miR-33-5p expressed by osteoblasts is sensitive multiple environments, microgravity fluid shear stress. We then confirmed promote...
Abstract Impaired osteoblast function is involved in osteoporosis, and microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation may cause abnormal osteogenic activity. However, the influence of miRNA on activity underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, miR‐103‐3p was found to be negatively correlated with bone formation specimens from elderly women fractures ovariectomized (OVX) mice. Additionally, directly targeted Mettl14 inhibit activity, METTL14‐dependent N 6 ‐methyladenosine (m A) methylation...

Microglia play a crucial role in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). This study investigated the effects of microglial depletion and subsequent repopulation on POCD its underlying mechanisms. An aged mouse model was induced by partial hepatectomy, colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) inhibitor PLX5622 administered to facilitate repopulation. Neutrophil involvement assessed with anti-Ly6G antibodies, while ZEB1 manipulated through shRNA knockdown lentiviral overexpression BV2...
L-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels (LTCCs), particularly Cav1.2 LTCCs, play fundamental roles in cellular responses to mechanical stimuli osteoblasts. Numerous studies have shown that loading promotes bone formation, whereas the removal of this stimulus under microgravity conditions results a reduction mass. However, whether exerts an influence on LTCCs osteoblasts and is possible mechanism underlying observed loss remain unclear. In present study, we demonstrated simulated...
Abstract Background Skeletal unloading can induce severe disuse osteopenia that often occurs in spaceflight astronauts or patients subjected to prolonged bed-rest immobility. Previously, we revealed a mechano-sensitive factor, miRNA-132-3p, is closely related the osteoblast function. The aim of this study was investigate whether miRNA-132-3p could be an effective target for treating osteopenia. Methods 2D-clinostat device and hindlimb-unloaded (HU) model were used copy mechanical condition...
Abstract Unloading-induced bone loss is a threat to human health and can eventually result in osteoporotic fractures. Although the underlying molecular mechanism of unloading-induced has been broadly elucidated, pathophysiological role long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) this process unknown.

A total 96 test sets measurement was recorded 12 subjects by employing adjacent opposite four amplitudes...
Disuse osteoporosis is common in prolonged therapeutic bed rest, space flight and immobilization due to limb fracture, which related reduction of mechanical stress on bone. Mechanical unloading can inhibit the differentiation osteoblasts, but detailed mechanism still unclear. Runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx2), an important factor, plays a crucial role disuse induced by conditions. In this study, we found that Runx2-targeting mechano-sensitive miR-30 family members, miR-30b,...
