| Abstract | Purpose This study aims to evaluate the effects of miR-374-5p on osteogenesis in rat osteoblasts, validate its target on PTEN, and explore its role in the PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway during osteoblast differentiation. Methods We transfected 293T cells with miR-374-5p mimics and inhibitors, followed by Western blot and qRT-PCR analyses to assess protein and mRNA expression levels. A dual-luciferase assay was performed to confirm direct targeting. Markers of osteoblast function, such as Runx2, OSX, and OCN, were examined in osteoblasts from rats by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Additionally, we developed a lentiviral vector to overexpress miR-374-5p, which successfully infected rat osteoblast progenitors. Bone formation was subsequently assessed using Alizarin Red staining and ALP activity assays. Finally, rescue experiments were conducted to validate the involvement of the miR-374-5p/PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Results Our results demonstrate that miR-374-5p significantly downregulates both the protein and mRNA levels of its target gene PTEN, as confirmed by dual luciferase assays. qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses revealed that osteoblastic markers-including Runx2, OSX, and OCN—were markedly reduced in the miR-374-5p mimic group, whereas an opposite trend was observed in the inhibitor group. In vitro, overexpression of miR-374-5p suppressed osteoblast differentiation, as evidenced by decreased calcium nodule formation and reduced ALP activity compared to controls. Furthermore, co-transfection of miR-374-5p mimics with the PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitor LY294002 in osteoblasts led to significantly lower expression of PI3K/AKT pathway-related genes, and notably, the inhibitory effect of miR-374-5p on osteoblast differentiation was reversed by LY294002 treatment. Conclusion Our findings indicate that miR-374-5p inhibits osteogenesis in rat osteoblasts by targeting PTEN and modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. |

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.
