The effects of microRNA on osteogenesis / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

MicroRNA (miRNA) is an endogenous, non-coding single-stranded RNA that regulates a variety of signal pathways or cytokines.Recent studies have confirmed that miRNA can affect alkaline phosphatase activity and matrix mineralization in bone formation, and plays an important role in osteogenic differentiation and cartilage differentiation.Abnormalities in the osteogenesis process can lead to osteogenesis imperfecta, Feingold syndrome, and femoral head necrosis.This review summarizes the specific mechanism of osteogenic differentiation and cartilage differentiation regulated by miRNA, suggesting the new clue for the future research about the underlying mechanism of bone development and clinical treatment of bone dysplasia from epigenetics.
