Abstract: Objective To investigate the role of miR-222-5p in osteo/odontogenic differentiation of human stem cells from apical papilla(SCAP)and the related mechanism. Methods The expression of 19 miRNAs in osteo/odontogenic differentiation of SCAP was verified with qPCR. The mRNA expressions of DSPP and Runx2 were measured after SCAP was transfected with 19miRNAs to induce osteo/odontogenic differentiation. The protein expressions of DSPP and Runx2 in the high-expression miR-222-5p group were determined with Western blotting. The potential target gene of miR-222-5p was predicted with bioinformatics analysis. The wild-type(WT)/mutant-type(Mut)reporter vector was constructed to co-transfect HEK293T cells with miR-222-5p. The luciferase activities were evaluated using the dual-luciferase reporter assay system to prove the relationship between miR-222-5p and the target gene. Then the expression of the target gene was tested with Western blotting after overexpression of miR-222-5p. The effects of miR-222-5p and target gene on osteo/odontogenic differentiation of SCAP were further explored. Results The expression of 19 miRNAs detected by qPCR was consistent with that detected by microarray in which miR-222-5p was highly expressed. The mRNA and protein expressions of DSPP and Runx2 were upregulated in miR-222-5p transfected group. Bioinformatics analysis and dual luciferase reporter assay identified SFRP4 as the direct target gene of miR-222-5p, and overexpression of miR-222-5p could inhibit SFRP4 expression. SFRP4 knockdown could effectively reverse the inhibitory effect of miR-222-5p inhibitor on the mRNA expression of DSPP. Conclusion miR-222-5p targetsd SFRP4 and promoted osteo/odontogenic differentiation of SCAP.
