Abstract (original English)

Osteoporosis is one of the most common bone-related diseases in which osteogenic differentiation plays a key role. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs), as one of the important sources of bone formation, can differentiate into osteoblasts under appropriate conditions. To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of ZFP36 on osteogenic differentiation of ADMSCs in osteoporosis by regulating the stability of KLF3 mRNA. In this study, an osteoporosis rat model was established by ovariectomy (OVX), and the expression level of KLF3 in bone tissue was detected by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC). To further investigate the effect of KLF3 gene knockdown on bone health in osteoporotic rats. In vitro, KLF3 over-expression was performed on ADMSCs, and the effect of KLF3 knockdown on osteogenic differentiation of ADMSCs was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay and alizarin red S staining. In addition, RNA pull-down, dual luciferase reporter gene, RIP and Actinomycin D treatment were used to explore the regulatory mechanism of ZFP36-mediated KLF3 mRNA degradation in osteogenic differentiation. Finally, the effect of ZFP36 on osteogenic differentiation and its interaction with KLF3 were further verified by interfering with ZFP36/KLF3 expression in rats in vivo and in vitro. In the osteoporotic rat model, KLF3 expression was significantly downregulated
