LncRNA-PCAT1 targeting miR-145-5p promotes TLR4-associated osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells.

ABSTRACT: This study was aimed to explore the differential expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA)-PCAT1, miR-145-5p and TLR4 in osteogenic differentiation via the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling pathway and consequently determine the potential molecular mechanism. The mRNAs and pathways related to the osteogenic differentiation in human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) were analysed by bioinformatics. The MiRanda and TargetScan database were employed to detect the potential binding sites of miRNAs on lncRNAs and mRNAs. The differential expression of lncRNA-PCAT1, miR-145-5p and TLR4 were detected by qRT-PCR. Rrelated protein expression was analysed by Western blot. The targeted relationships between lncRNA-PCAT1, miR-145-5p and TLR4 were verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Alkalin
