description Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) serve crucial roles in the progression of osteoporosis. This study investigated the role and specific molecular mechanism of miR-135-5p in regulating osteoblast differentiation and calcification. Methods Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) was employed to interfere with the differentiation of MC3T3-E1. Then, miR-135-5p mimic or miR-135-5p inhibitor was transfected into MC3T3-E1, and quantitative RT-PCR was used to measure the expression of miR-135-5p. The expressions of runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osterix (OSX), osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OCN) were determined using western blot. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured using an appropriate kit assay. Calcium nodule staining was evaluated with alizarin red staining. A luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the target of miR-135-5p. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 α inhibitor (HIF1AN) overexpression was applied to investigate its own role in the mechanism and a miR-135-5p rescue experiment was also performed. Results Overexpression of miR-135-5p promoted osteogenic differentiation and calcification, as shown by the increase in ALP activity, calcification and osteogenic marker levels, including Runx2, OSX, OPN and OCN. Knockdown of miR-135-5p yielded the opposite results. HIF1AN was confirmed as a direct target of miR-135-5p. HIF1AN overexpression inhibited osteogenic differentiation and calcification while miR-135-5p reversed these effects. Conclusions These results indicate that miR-135-5p might have a therapeutic application related to its promotion of bone formation through the targeting of HIF1AN.
