Abstract (original English)
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are single-stranded RNA molecules of 21-23 nucleotides in length that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. They may play important roles during osteogenic differentiation of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASC). In this chapter, we focus on the methods and strategies for elucidating miRNA function during osteogenic differentiation. We describe a miRNA expression analysis protocol, and a lentiviral vector strategy for the ectopic expression of miRNA in hASC to determine the role of miRNA during osteogenic differentiation. We also describe miRNA inhibition to further determine the role of miRNA during osteogenic differentiation, and a luciferase assay to demonstrate direct binding between a specific miRNA and its putative target.
