Background and aim Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease inducing the absorption of alveolar bone and leading to tooth loss. Human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HAMSCs) have been used for studying inflammatory processes. This study aimed to explore the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) in HAMSC-driven osteogenesis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs). Methods The cells were incubated with a co-culture system. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were used to detect the oxidative stress level. Flow cytometry was performed to determine cell proliferation. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin red assay, cell transfection, and rat mandibular defect model were used to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and immunofluorescence staining were used to evaluate the molecular mechanisms. Results This study showed that HAMSCs promoted the osteogenesis of LPS-induced HBMSCs, while the ANRIL level in HBMSCs decreased during co-culture. ANRIL had no significant influence on the proliferation of LPS-induced HBMSCs. However, its overexpression inhibited the HAMSC-driven osteogenesis in vivo and in vitro, whereas its knockdown reversed these effects. Mechanistically, this study found that downregulating ANRIL led to the overexpression of microRNA-125a (miR-125a), and further contributed to the competitive binding of miR-125a and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), thus significantly activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Conclusion The study indicated that HAMSCs promoted the osteogenic differentiation of LPS-induced HBMSCs via the ANRIL/miR-125a/APC axis, and offered a novel approach for periodontitis therapy.

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease inducing the absorption of alveolar bone and leading to tooth loss. Human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HAMSCs) have been studied as a potential strategy for inflammatory processes. Here, we explored the role of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) in HAMSCs-droved osteogenesis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs). Methods: Cells were incubated with coculture system. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were used to detect oxidative stress level. Flow cytometry was performed to determine the cell proliferation. The Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin red assay, cell transfection and rat mandibular defect model were used to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot, dual-luciferase reporter assay and immunofluorescence Staining were used to evaluate the molecular mechanisms.Results: Here, we discovered that HAMSCs promoted osteogenesis of LPS-induced HBMSCs, while ANRIL level in HBMSCs was decreased during coculturing. ANRIL had no significant influence on the proliferation of LPS-induced HBMSCs, while its overexpression inhibited the HAMSCs-droved osteogenesis in vivo and in vitro; whereas its knockdown reversed these effects. Mechanistically, we found that downregulating ANRIL led to overexpression of microRNA-125a (miR-125a), and further contributed to the competitively bounding of miR-125a and Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), thus significantly activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Conclusions: Our study indicates that HAMSCs promote osteogenic differentiation of LPS-induced HBMSCs via ANRIL/miR-125a/APC axis, and offer a novel approach for periodontitis therapy.
