Abstract (original English)

Osteoporosis (OP) is defined by bone mass loss and structural bone deterioration. Currently, there are no effective therapies for OP treatment. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to have an important function in stem cell osteogenesis and to be associated with OP. Most circRNA roles in OP remain unclear. In the present study, we employed circRNA microarray to investigate circRNA expression patterns in OP and non-OP patient bone tissues. The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction was predicted using bioinformatic analysis and confirmed by RNA FISH, RIP and dual-luciferase reporter assays. ARS and ALP staining was used to detect the degree of osteogenic differentiation in human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) in vitro. In vivo osteogenesis in hASCs encapsulated in collagen-based hydrogels was tested with heterotopic bone formation assay in nude mice. Our research found that circFOXP1 was significantly down-regulated in OP patient bone tissues and functioned like a miRNA sponge targeting miR-33a-5p to increase FOXP1 expression. In vivo and in vitro analyses showed that circFOXP1 enhances hASC osteogenesis by sponging miR-33a-5p. Conversely, miR-33a-5p inhibits osteogenesis by targeting FOXP1 3'-UTR and down-regulating FOXP1 expression. These results determined that circFOXP1 binding to miR-33a-5p promotes hASC osteogenic differentiation by targeting FOXP1. Therefor
