Abstract Ossotide as an effective bone formation compound preparation has been proved to promote osteoblasts differentiation. MiR-145 is significantly decreased in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) patients, but it is still unknown whether ossotide performed its effect by regulating miR-145. In this study, we investigated the effect of ossotide on regulating miR-145 expression and osteoblasts differentiation. The primary osteoblasts cells were isolated from OI patients and then cultured with different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100, 200 μg/l) of ossotide. The cell proliferation was detected with CCK-8 Elisa kit after ossotide treatment. The level of miR-145 expression was determined using qRT-PCR. In order to study whether ossotide up regulated miR-145, miR-145 mimic and miR-145 inhibitor were used to up regulate and down regulate the miR-145 levels in osteoblasts. The expressions of Runx2, Osx, β-catenin, TCF-1 were detected using Western blot and qRT-PCR. We observed that miR-145 was up regulated by ossotide treatment in miR-145 mimic or miR-145 inhibitor treated osteoblasts. What’s more, up regulated miR-145 increased the expression of osteoblasts differentiation regulated protein Runx2 and Osx. In addition, Wnt signaling related β-catenin, TCF-1 were activated by up-regulated miR-145 which was induced by ossotide treatment. In summary, ossotide induced cell differentiation and Wnt signaling activation in osteoblasts by up regulating miR-145.
