Objective Our study explored the function of DOT1L in osteoporosis (OP) via the microRNA (miR)-181 / KAT2B / SRSF1 axis. Methods Osteoclast (OC) number was evaluated via TRAP staining, and serum CTX I, PINP, and ALP contents were tested by ELISA. Following identification of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), OC differentiation was induced by M-CSF and RANKL, followed by the detection of OC differentiation and the expression of bone resorption-related genes, DOT1L , miR-181 , KAT2B , and SRSF1 . Results Overexpressed DOT1L or miR-181 stimulated calcified nodule formation and increased alkaline phosphatase activity and osteogenic marker gene expression. KAT2B knockdown enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs by reducing SRSF1 acetylation. The enhancement of OC differentiation induced by overexpressed SRSF1 was inhibited by simultaneous DOT1L or miR-181 overexpression. DOT1L suppressed OP development in vivo via the miR-181 / KAT2B / SRSF1 axis. Conclusion DOT1L overexpression slowed down bone loss and promoted bone formation via the miR-181 / KAT2B / SRSF1 axis, thereby alleviating OP development.
DOT1L decelerates the development of osteoporosis by inhibiting SRSF1 transcriptional activity via microRNA-181-mediated KAT2B inhibition
