MACF1 alleviates aging-related osteoporosis via HES1.

ABSTRACT: Ageing-related osteoporosis is becoming an emerging threat to human health along with the ageing of human population. The decreased rate of osteogenic differentiation and bone formation is the major cause of ageing-related osteoporosis. Microtubule actin cross-linking factor 1 (MACF1) is an important cytoskeletal factor that promotes osteogenic differentiation and bone formation. However, the relationship between MACF1 expression and ageing-related osteoporosis remains unclear. This study has investigated the expression pattern of MACF1 in bone tissues of ageing-related osteoporosis patients and ageing mice. The study has further elucidated the mechanism of MACF1 promoting bone formation by inhibiting HES1 expression and activity. Moreover, the therapeutic effect of MACF1 on ageing-related
