Abstract
Clinical studies have found 14-3-3η to be associated with osteoporosis through undefined mechanisms. We aimed to investigate the role of 14-3-3η in osteoporosis and its potential associations with miRNAs. The Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) and Human Protein Atlas 1 databases were analyzed to examine both the mRNA and protein expression of 14-3-3η in OP. Gene enrichment analyses were performed to explore the underlying mechanism of 14-3-3η based on DAVID. miRWalk was used to predict the associated miRNAs. The statistics were analysed by R software and SPSS software. 14-3-3η was overexpressed and knock down expressed in BMSCs by lentiviral vector transfecting. And BMSCs were induced by hypoxia. qRT-PCR and Western-Blot verified the expression of mRNA and protein. Scratch assay detected the migration of osteocytes. Co-immunoprecipitation and luciferase assay studied the 14-3-3η targeted protein and miRNA. overexpression and knock down of miRNA to verify the relationship of 14-3-3η and target genes. The 14-3-3η mRNA expression level was low in patients with osteoporosis, as corroborated by immunohistochemical staining images. Functional analyses revealed enrichment of the MAPK-associated cascade. 14-3-3η was correlated with MAPK family proteins and five key miRNAs, including mir-142-3p. In addition, 14-3-3η knockdown in BMSCs increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of Hif-α, VEGF, BMP-2, OPN, OST, and Runx2, and enhanced the cells migration ability. Under hypoxic conditions, Hif-α and BMP-2 protein expression levels were upregulated, whereas those of 14-3-3η and MAPK3 were downregulated. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments showed decreased binding of 14-3-3η to MAPK3. 14-3-3η knockdown produced the same results as hypoxia induction. Adding caspase3 inhibitor and knocking down 14-3-3η again prevented MAPK3 cleavage by caspase3 and inhibited BMP-2 expression. Moreover, under hypoxic conditions, miR-142-3P expression was upregulated and luciferase assays revealed 14-3-3η as its target gene. miR-142-3P overexpression decreased mRNA and protein levels of 14-3-3η and MAPK3, while increasing BMP-2 expression. miR-142-3P knockdown reversed these results. BMSC osteogenesis was suppressed by 14-3-3η, whereas miRNA-142-3p promoted it through the inhibition of 14-3-3η.

Abstract
Undifferentiated, highly proliferative, clonogenic, and self-renewing dental stem cells have paved the way for novel approaches to mending cleft palates, rebuilding lost jawbone and periodontal tissue, and, most significantly, recreating lost teeth. New treatment techniques may be guided by a better understanding of these cells and their potential in terms of the specificity of the regenerative response. MicroRNAs have been recognized as an essential component in stem cell biology due to their role as epigenetic regulators of the processes that determine stem cell destiny. MicroRNAs have been proven to be crucial in a wide variety of molecular and biological processes, including apoptosis, cell proliferation, migration, and necrocytosis. MicroRNAs have been recognized to control protein translation, messenger RNA stability, and transcription and have been reported to play essential roles in dental stem cell biology, including the differentiation of dental stem cells, the immunological response, apoptosis, and the inflammation of the dental pulp. Because microRNAs increase dental stem cell differentiation, they may be used in regenerative medicine to either preserve the stem cell phenotype or to aid in the development of tooth tissue. The development of novel biomarkers and therapies for dental illnesses relies heavily on progress made in our knowledge of the roles played by microRNAs in regulating dental stem cells. In this article, we discuss how dental stem cells and their associated microRNAs may be used to cure dental illness.
