| Abstract | Osteoporosis is a kind of metabolic bone disorder. MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) has been proven to play an important role in bone formation, whereas its role in osteoporosis is unclear. In the present study, miR-21 expression was inhibited by TNF-α in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). TNF-α induced cell apoptosis, and inhibited cell proliferation and differentiation of MSCs. Whereas the effect was reversed by miR-21 mimics. Expression of reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK) which is a predicted target of miR-21 was inhibited by miR-21 mimics. A luciferase reporter gene assay showed that miR-21 directly bound to RECK 3′-UTR. The effect of TNF-α on MSCs was reversed by RECK siRNA which was consistent with miR-21 mimics. The expression of MT1-MMP was inhibited by TNF-α and enhanced by RECK siRNA and miR-21 mimics. For the in vivo study, an osteoporosis model (OVX) was established by bilateral oophorectomy in mice. The expression of miR-21 decreased and RECK increased in the OVX mice. When treated with lentiviral RECK shRNA, the osteocalcin concentration and alkaline phosphate activity of the OVX mice decreased. The bone mineral density of the right femur mid-diaphysis was improved by RECK shRNA. Collectively, miR-21 modulated the osteoporosis by targeting RECK. These results emphasize the role of miR-21 during osteoporosis and suggest RECK might be a new medical target for osteoporosis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
