Sox9-Increased miR-322-5p Facilitates BMP2-Induced Chondrogenic Differentiation by Targeting Smad7 in Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Yongsheng Zeng, Chengcheng Du, Pengcheng Xiao, Yiting Lei, Piao Zhao, Zhenglin Zhu, Shengqiang Gao, Bowen Chen, Shengwen Cheng, Wei Huang, Chen Zhao

“…The targeting relationship between miR-322-5p and Smad7 was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assays, qPCR, and western blotting (WB). The in vitro study indicated that overexpression of miR-322-5p significantly inhibited Smad7 expression, thus causing increased chondrogenic differentiation and decreased hypertrophic differentiation, while silencing of miR-322-5p led to the opposite results. …”
