Circular RNA BIRC6 depletion promotes osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells via the miR-543/PTEN/PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in the inflammatory microenvironment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are the ideal seed cells for periodontal tissue regeneration. It is well established that persistent inflammation significantly impairs the osteogenic differentiation capability of PDLSCs. Therefore, maintaining PDLSC osteogenic potential under the inflammatory microenvironment is important for treating bone loss in periodontitis. The aim of our study was to explore the potential role of circular RNA BIRC6 (circBIRC6) in regulating osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs in the inflammatory conditions.

Methods

Alkaline phosphatase staining, Alizarin Red staining, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and immunofluorescence staining were used to evaluated the effects of circBIRC6 on the osteogenic d
