| Abstract | Background Dysfunction of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is recognized as critical to the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO), suggesting the potential of MSC-targeting interventions for this disorder. As the miR-133a has been shown to play an important role in bone metabolism, we hypothesized that miR-133a may also be involved in GIO. Methods In the in vitro study, we examined the effect of miR-133a antagomir on DEX-treated MSCs, including proliferation, apoptosis, osteoblast, and adipocyte differentiation, then, we explored the mechanism of these effects of miR-133a silencing through measuring the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and its regulator FGFR1 via western blot and qRT-PCR. In the in vivo study, we developed a GIO rat model by injecting methylprednisolone and modulated the miR-133a expression in the femur by intramedullary injection of the miR-133a antagomir, and then micro-CT analyses and histological staining of the femurs were used to investigate the effect of miR-133a silencing on bone loss of the GIO rats. Results qRT-PCR analysis indicated that glucocorticoid induced high miR-133a expression in MSCs and animal models. The in vitro study showed that miR-133a antagomir significantly promoted cell proliferation, viability, and osteoblast differentiation and inhibited adipocyte differentiation in DEX-treated MSCs. Furthermore, the expression of p-ERK1/2 and FGFR1 in DEX-treated MSCs was also upregulated by miR-133a antagomir. Then we investigated the effect of miR-133a silencing on the bone architecture of GIO models, micro-CT analysis showed that miR-133a antagomir attenuated the loss of bone mass and improved the trabecular and cortical parameters induced by methylprednisolone. Histological study showed that miR-133a silencing simultaneously increased bone formation and decreased marrow fat accumulation in GIO rats. Conclusions Our findings suggested that miR-133a is strongly associated with GIO and similar disorders induced by glucocorticoids in MSCs. Silencing miR-133a resulted in positive effects on GC-treated MSCs and on bone loss in GIO animal models. Moreover, the FGFR1-MAPK/ERK signaling may be involved in the protective effect of miR-133a silencing. |

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.
