To investigate the effects of Hyperin (Hyp) on osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.
Differentially expressed miRNA was screened by miRNA Microarray. miR-7031-5P overexpression and knockdown MC3T3-E1 cell models were constructed by transfecting miR-7031-5P mimics and inhibitor. Alizarin red staining (ARS) assay was used to observe the formation of mineralized nodules in MC3T3-E1 cells. ALP activity was detected by using ALP detection kit. Western blot assay was used to examine the changes in osteogenic differentiation-related proteins. The relationship between miR-7031-5P and Wnt7a was revealed by dual luciferase report experiments.
We found that miR-7031-5P was up-regulated in MC3T3-E1 cells after Hyp treatment. The results indicated that compared with the untreated group, Hyp promoted the formation of mineralized nodules and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of MC3T3-E1 cells via overexpressing miR-7031-5P. Besides, elevated miR-7031-5P increased OPN, COL1A1, and Runx2 mRNA expression. More importantly, Wnt7a was identified as the downstream target gene of miR-7031-5P promoting osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells.

探讨金丝桃苷(Hyp)对MC3T3-E1细胞成骨分化的影响。
通过miRNA芯片筛选差异表达的miRNA。转染miR-7031-5P模拟物和抑制剂构建miR-7031-5P过表达和敲低的MC3T3-E1细胞模型。采用茜素红染色(ARS)试验观察MC3T3-E1细胞中矿化结节的形成。使用碱性磷酸酶(ALP)检测试剂盒检测ALP活性。采用蛋白质免疫印迹法检测成骨分化相关蛋白的变化。通过双荧光素酶报告实验揭示miR-7031-5P与Wnt7a之间的关系。
我们发现Hyp处理后MC3T3-E1细胞中miR-7031-5P上调。结果表明,与未处理组相比,Hyp通过过表达miR-7031-5P促进MC3T3-E1细胞矿化结节的形成和碱性磷酸酶(ALP)活性。此外,miR-7031-5P升高增加了骨桥蛋白(OPN)、Ⅰ型胶原蛋白(COL1A1)和Runx2 mRNA的表达。更重要的是,Wnt7a被确定为miR-7031-5P促进MC3T3-E1细胞成骨分化的下游靶基因。
