Objective: To discuss the effect of miR-183 on osteoblast differentiation in the osteoporosis progression via targeting Smad4.
Methods: Osteoporosis models were constructed on ovariectomized (OVX) mice to determine the expression of miR-183 and Smad4. Then, MC3T3-E1 cells and primary osteoblasts were divided into Mock, miR-control, miR-183 mimic, miR-183 inhibitor, siSmad4 and miR-183 inhibitor + siSmad4 groups.
