Long Non-Coding RNA Malat1 Increases the Rescuing Effect of Quercetin on TNFα-Impaired Bone Marrow Stem Cell Osteogenesis and Ovariectomy-Induced Osteoporosis.

ABSTRACT: Osteoporosis, a common systematic bone homeostasis disorder related disease, still urgently needs innovative treatment methods. Several natural small molecules were found to be effective therapeutics in osteoporosis. In the present study, quercetin was screened out from a library of natural small molecular compounds by a dual luciferase reporter system. Quercetin was found to upregulate Wnt/β-catenin while inhibiting NF-κB signaling activities, and thereby rescuing osteoporosis-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) impaired BMSCs osteogenesis. Furthermore, a putative functional lncRNA, Malat1, was shown to be a key mediator in quercetin regulated signaling activities and TNFα-impaired BMSCs osteogenesis, as mentioned above. In an ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis mouse model, que
