Scheme of Mir155-mediated regulation of osteogenesis.
S1P activates the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor-1 (S1PR1), further increasing RUNX2 expression to regulate the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs into osteoblasts. Mir155 inhibits this process by direct binding with 3’UTR S1pr1 mRNAs. MSCs: mesenchymal stromal cells.
