| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, we attempted to identified miRNAs in response to TNF-α stimulation or compressive force and to analyze those functions in MC3T3-E1 cells.
Microarray analysis followed by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed that TNF-α stimulation or compressive force at 294 Pa for 24 h in MC3T3-E1 cells increased levels of miR-146a-5p. Overexpression of miR-146a-5p in MC3T3-E1 showed effects on early stage of cell proliferation. Furthermore, in silico analysis predicted TRAF6 and IRAK1 as target genes of miR-146a-5p. However, TRAF6 and IRAK1 mRNA levels did not alter in MC3T3-E1 cell overexpressing miR-146a-5p gene and did not affect cell proliferation.
In conclusion, TNF-α stimulation and compressive force affected expressions of miR-146a-5p in MC3T3-E1 cells. In addition, miR-146a-5p affects early stage of cell proliferation. Further studies to investigate the target genes and functions of miR-146a-5p in MT3T3-E1 cells will be required.
