Abstract

The present study aimed to explore the mechanisms through which microRNA (miR)‑20a may be involved in the differentiation of THP‑1 human acute monocytic leukemia cells into osteoclasts. THP‑1 cells were differentiated into macrophages (osteoclast precursors) and subsequently into osteoclast cells. The expression levels of miR‑20a in THP‑1 cells were significantly reduced in a time‑dependent manner during phorbol‑12‑myristate‑13‑acetate (PMA), macrophage colony‑stimulating factor (M‑CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor‑κB ligand RANKL‑induced osteoclastogenesis. Following transfection with a miR‑20a mimics, the levels of miR‑20a in PMA‑treated THP‑1 cells increased more than 40‑fold as compared with expression in the control cells. In addition, the overexpression of miR‑20a inhibited proliferation, initiated S phase cell cycle arrest and induced apoptosis of PMA‑treated THP‑1 cells. Additionally, miR‑20a mimics treatment notably decreased the levels of tartrate‑resistant acid phosphatase, nuclear factor of activated T‑cells, cytoplasmic 1 and peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor γ (PPARγ) during THP‑1 cell further differentiation progress. In summary, miR‑20a may negatively regulate the proliferation and osteoclastogenesis of THP‑1 cells during its osteoclast differentiation progress by downregulating PPARγ.
