Targeted silencing of miRNA-132-3p expression rescues disuse osteopenia by promoting mesenchymal stem cell osteogenic differentiation and osteogenesis in mice
13 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Skeletal unloading can induce severe disuse osteopenia that often occurs in spaceflight astronauts or in patients subjected to prolonged bed-rest or immobility. Previously, we revealed a mechano-sensitive factor, miRNA-132-3p, that is closely related to the osteoblast function. The aim of this study was to investigate whether miRNA-132-3p could be an effective target for treating disuse...
