Studies involving molecular mechanisms for designing better therapeutic strategies for postmenopausal osteoporosis are still rare. The present study investigates the role of miR-125b in postmenopausal osteoporosis.Methods: Microarray analysis was done to screen the gene database. Tissue samples of postmenopausal women were collected to study the miRNA profiles. MC3T3-E1 cells were used and were submitted for transfection. CCK-8 assay was done to check the viability of cells, whereas toxicity was done by lactate dehydrogenase assay kit. TargetScan was done to target genes of miR-125b followed by confirmation by Luciferase reporter assay. For animal studies a rat model of ovariectomized rats was created. Bone mineral density and biomechanics were measured by densitometer. The mRNA levels were assessed by qRT-PCR and proteins by Western blot assay.Results: miR-125b was over-expressed in human osteoporosis samples. In vitro studies suggested that miR-125b suppressed the cell viability and promoted release of LDH, it also enhanced the RANKL/OPG ratio and suppressed levels of BMP2 and Runx2. Bioinformatics identified TRAF6 as a potential target of miR-125b, further confirmed by luciferase assay, also miR-125b negatively regulated the levels of TRAF6 gene in osteoporosis bones involving the JAK2/STAT3 cascade. In the rat model, miR-125b decreased the bone mineral density and biomechanical parameters in bones by altering the TRAF6 gene involving the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.Conclusion: The outcomes suggested that miR-125b was responsible for the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis and promoted its progression by the TRAF6 gene via the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.Keywords: miR‐125b, osteoporosis, TRAF6, JAK2/STAT3 pathwayWang GZhang LYan CWang FZhang YDove Medical Pressarticlemir‐125bosteoporosistraf6jak2/stat3 pathwaySpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 14, Pp 671-682 (2021)
