In this study, the researchers found that circ_0000888 and PTN enhanced the osteogenic ability of PMSCs derived from congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT-dPMSCs), while miR-338-3p had the opposite effect. Further analysis confirmed that circ_0000888 suppressed the activity of miR-338-3p and upregulated the expression of PTN, promoting the viability and osteogenic differentiation ability of CPT-dPMSCs.
Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a refractory condition characterized by the decreased osteogenic ability in tibial pseudarthrosis repair. Periosteal mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) are multipotent cells involved in bone formation regulation. However, the mechanisms underlying its role in CPT remain unclear. In this study, we observed downregulation of circ_0000888 and pleiotrophin (PTN), as well as up regulation of miR-338-3p in CPT derived PMSCs (CPT-dPMSCs). Our results demonstrated that circ_0000888 and PTN likely enhanced the viability, proliferation, and osteogenic ability of PMSCs, while miR-338-3p had the opposite effect. Further analysis confirmed the regulatory relationship circ_0000888 suppressed the activity of miR-338-3p and upregulated the expression of its downstream target PTN by binding to miR-338-3p, consequently promoting the viability and osteogenic differentiation ability of CPT-dPMSCs. Our findings unveil an unexpected link between circ_0000888/miR-338-3p/PTN in promoting osteogenic ability and indicate the potential pathogenic mechanisms of CPT.
