Abstract (original English)

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exhibit an increased propensity toward adipocyte differentiation accompanied by a reduction in osteogenesis in osteoporotic bone marrow. However, limited knowledge is available concerning the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the differentiation of BMSCs into adipocytes. In this study, we demonstrated that lncRNA H19 and microRNA-675 (miR-675) derived from H19 were significantly downregulated in BMSCs that were differentiating into adipocytes. Overexpression of H19 and miR-675 inhibited adipogenesis, while knockdown of their endogenous expression accelerated adipogenic differentiation. Mechanistically, we found that miR-675 targeted the 3' untranslated regions of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) 4-6 transcripts and resulted in deregulation of HDACs 4-6, essential molecules in adipogenesis. In turn, trichostatin A, an HDAC inhibitor, significantly reduced CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) occupancy in the imprinting control region upstream of the H19 gene locus and subsequently downregulated the expression of H19. These results show that the CTCF/H19/miR-675/HDAC regulatory pathway plays an important role in the commitment of BMSCs into adipocytes.
