miR-375-3p negatively regulates osteogenesis by targeting and decreasing the expression levels of LRP5 and β-catenin. by Tianhao Sun, Chen-Tian Li, Lifeng Xiong, Ziyu Ning, Frankie Leung, Songlin Peng, William W Lu, William W Lu

“…Finally, silence of LRP5 in osteoblast precursor cells resulted in diminished cell viability and cell proliferation as detected by WST-1-based colorimetric assay. Additionally, all the parameters including the relative bone volume from μCT measurement suggested that LRP5 knockout in mice resulted in a looser and worse-connected trabeculae. …”
