ABSTRACT

Dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) serve potential roles in inflammatory systemic disease, including ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential function of miR-150-5p in osteogenic differentiation of AS fibroblasts and its underlying mechanism. The expression of miR-150-5p and vitamin D receptor (VDR) in AS joint capsules and fibroblasts was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR and western blotting. Following overexpression of miR-150-5p, the alteration in osteogenic gene expression was detected by RT-qPCR, western blotting and alkaline phosphatase activity assay, as well as alizarin red staining. The association between miR-150-5p and VDR was confirmed by luciferase assay and rescue experiments were performed. Patients with AS exhibited decreased expression of miR-150-5p in joint capsules. Treatment with bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP-2) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) led to downregulation of miR-150-5p in AS fibroblasts. Enforced expression of miR-150-5p attenuated osteogenic differentiation of AS fibroblasts. These results demonstrated that miR-150-5p inhibited osteogenic differentiation of AS fibroblasts by targeting VDR. miR-150-5p overexpression decreased osteogenic transformation of fibroblasts by decreasing VDR expression in AS.
