Abstract: | Elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of osteogenesis of human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) is important for the development of cell therapies for bone loss and regeneration. Here we showed that hsa-miR-199a-5p modulated osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs at both early and late stages through HIF1a pathway. hsa-miR-199a expression was up-regulated during osteogenesis for both of two mature forms, miR-199a-5p and -3p. Over-expression of miR-199a-5p but not -3p enhanced differentiation of hMSCs in vitro, whereas inhibition of miR-199a-5p reduced the expression of osteoblast-specific genes, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and mineralization. Furthermore, over-expression of miR-199a enhanced ectopic bone formation in vivo. Chitosan nanoparticles were used for delivery of stable modified hsa-miR-199a-5p (agomir) both in vitro and in vivo, as a proof-of-concept for stable agomir delivery on bone regeneration. The hsa-mir199a-5p agomir were mixed with Chitosan nanoparticles to form nanoparticle/hsa-mir199a-5p agomir plasmid (nanoparticle/agomir) complexes, and nanoparticle/agomir complexes could improve the in vivo regeneration of bone. Further mechanism studies revealed that hypoxia enhanced osteogenesis at early stage and inhibited osteogenesis maturation at late stage through HIF1a-Twist1 pathway. At early stage of differentiation, hypoxia induced HIF1a-Twist1 pathway to enhance osteogenesis by up-regulating miR-199a-5p, while at late stage of differentiation, miR-199a-5p enhanced osteogenesis maturation by inhibiting HIF1α-Twist1 pathway. |
