Long non‑coding RNA SNHG5 promotes osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells via mediating miR‑23b‑3p/Runx2 axis.

ABSTRACT: The treatment of bone loss due to periodontitis has posed a great challenge for physicians for decades. Therefore, it is of extraordinary significance to identify an effective regeneration scheme for alveolar bone. This study aimed to investigate long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 5 (SNHG5) whether sponges microRNA-23b-3p (miR-23b-3p) to achieve the osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). Results revealed that the expression of SNHG5 was upregulated whereas that of miR-23b-3p was downregulated in osteogenic hPDLSCs. Alizarin red staining assays and qRT-PCR demonstrated that SNHG5 silencing or miR-23b-3p overexpression inhibits hPDLSCs osteogenic differentiation and vice versa. In addition, miR-23b-3p partially abolished the pro
