OBJECTIVES: Chondrogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) is highly promising for cartilage repair. The specific mechanism, however, still needs to be explicated.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we isolated hDPSCs and transfected cells with lentiviruses containing an over-expression, knock-down, or negative control of miR-20a-5p. Three-D pellet cultures of hDPSCs were used for the chondrogenic induction. Following the pellet culture period, chondrogenesis was assessed by histological and immunohistochemical analysis and expression of chondrogenic-related genes. Dual-luciferase report assay was performed to determine potential targeted genes of miR-20a-5p, and the phosphorylation levels of P65 and IκBα were explored. Animal experiments were performed to determine the effect of miR-20a-5p on cartilage regeneration.
RESULTS: miR-20a-5p was showed to repress the expression of SMAD6 to inhibit the chondrogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. Accordingly, the knock-down of miR-20a-5p promoted cartilage regeneration in the osteochondral defects of rats. Mechanically, it is indicated that NF-κB signaling is the potential down-stream network of miR-20a-5p/Smad6 crosstalk during chondrogenic differentiation.
CONCLUSIONS: miR-20a-5p could target SMAD6 to activate NF-κB signaling pathway, and thus inhibit chondrogenesis of hDPSCs, which provided promising therapeutic target for cartilage defects clinically.
