Abstract
- Objective: Studies have shown that the levels of pleiotrophin (PTN) are greatly elevated in the synovial fluid and cartilage in osteoarthritis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of PTN on the chondrogenic differentiation of DPSCs in inflammatory and normal microenvironments. Materials and Methods: A lentiviral vector was used to deplete or overexpress PTN in DPSCs. The inflammatory microenvironment was simulated in vitro by the addition of IL‐1β to the culture medium. The chondrogenic differentiation potential was assessed using Alcian Blue staining and the main chondrogenic markers. A dual‐luciferase reporter assay was used to explore the relationship between miR‐137 and PTN. Results: The results showed that 0.1 ng/mL IL‐1β treatment during chondrogenic induction greatly impaired the chondrogenic differentiation of DPSCs. Supplementation with PTN and PTN overexpression inhibited chondrogenic differentiation of DPSCs, while PTN depletion promoted chondrogenic differentiation. MiR‐137 negatively regulated the expression of PTN by binding to the 3′UTR of its mRNA. Moreover, miR‐137 promoted chondrogenic differentiation of DPSCs in normal and inflammatory microenvironments. Conclusion: Our results suggest that PTN may play an inhibitory role in the chondrogenic differentiation of DPSCs in normal and inflammatory microenvironments, which is regulated by miR‐137.
