Abstract (original English)

Background Dysregulation of microRNAs contributes to bone diseases. However, the microRNAs involved in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT)-induced osteoporosis remain unknown. Methods The parathyroid tissue samples were obtained from PHPT patients with or without osteoporosis (n = 5/group) during parathyroid resection and subjected to high throughput microRNA sequencing. The differentially expressed microRNAs were identified and further verified using qRT-PCR. Alizarin Red Staining was performed to detected the osteogenic differentiation. Gain- and loss-of-function assays were performed to investigate the role of miR-874-3p, which was upregulated in PHPT patients with osteoporosis, in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) undergoing osteoblastic differentiation. Results We identified 32 significantly upregulated and 18 significantly downregulated microRNAs in PHPT patients with osteoporosis. miR-874-3p was increased in PHPT osteoporosis patients, meanwhile, miR-874-3p in parathyroid tissue and peripheral blood extracellular vesicles of PHPT osteoporosis mice were increased. The miR-874-3p level was remarkably elevated in hMSCs grown in osteogenic medium. Overexpression of miR-874-3p repressed the hMSC osteogenic differentiation and reduced the osteogenic marker expression in hMSCs, whereas miR-874-3p inhibitor showed a contrasting effect.
