Knockdown of hsa_circ_0001275 reverses dexamethasone-induced osteoblast growth inhibition via mediation of miR-377/CDKN1B axis.

<h4>Background</h4>Osteoporosis affects the quality of life among middle-aged and elderly individuals. In addition, dysfunction of osteoblasts can lead to the progression of osteoporosis. Circular (circ)RNAs are involved in various types of diseases, including osteoporosis. Moreover, it...

In addition, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium nodules were examined by ALP and alizarin red staining, respectively. Cell proliferation was measured using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay.
