“…However, miR‐31a‐5p reduction in the supernatant not only led to decreased osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption but also elevated expression of RhoA. Although studies have demonstrated that RhoA activity, controlling cytoskeleton organization, is crucial for osteoclast maturation and bone resorption (Chellaiah et al., 2000), it has also been reported that inhibition of RhoA maintained the podosomal and sealing zone stability, which is possibly correlated with increased microtubule acetylation and stabilization in osteoclasts (Destaing et al., 2005; Granot‐Attas, Luxenburg, Finkelshtein, & Elson, 2009; Ory, Brazier, Pawlak, & Blangy, 2008; Wu et al., 2017). In our study, increased RhoA expression through miR‐31a‐5p inhibition reduced osteoclastogenesis, while decreased RhoA expression favored osteoclastogenesis.…”
