Abstract

Aim: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are essential for stem cell differentiation. This study aimed to investigate their exact mechanism of action in human adipose-derived stem cell (hADSC) osteogenesis. Materials & methods: Isolated hADSCs were cultured in growth medium or osteogenic medium, then total RNA was extracted for circRNA microarray, hierarchical cluster, gene ontology, regulating pathway and circRNA–miRNA–mRNA network analyses. Results: A total of 171 circRNAs were upregulated and 119 were downregulated in induced groups compared with those in noninduced groups. Eight circRNAs, 40 miRNAs and 342 mRNAs were selected to construct a competing circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network. Conclusion: These findings may provide novel insight into altered and specific circRNAs that might function as competing endogenous RNAs in hADSCs during osteogenic differentiation.
