osteogenic differentiation induced by bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2). Overexpression of miR-2861 increased levels of AMP activity, osteocalcin secretion, and bone nodule formation in
cultures. In addition, expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) protein, but not _Runx2_ messenger RNA (mRNA), was increased in miR-2861-transfected cells compared with
control cells. In contrast to these effects, silencing expression of miR-2861 attenuated BMP2-induced osteoblastogenesis. The investigators identified HDAC5, which is involved in RUNX2
degradation, as the most important target of miR-2861. Overexpression of miR-2861 decreased levels of HDAC5 protein but not _Hdac5_ mRNA, indicating that the effects of miR-2861 on
osteoblastogenesis occur at the post-translational level. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to
