The aim of this study was to investigate the role of miR-138 in osteoporosis and its underlying mechanism. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was used to induce osteoporotic injury of osteoblasts. The cell viability and apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 cells was assessed using MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The cell transfection was carried out to modulate the expression levels of miR-138 and TIMP-1 in MC3T3-E1 cells. Luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to determine the interaction between miR-138 and TIMP-1 3'UTR. In the present study, H2O2 inhibited osteoblasts growth and induced intracellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress accompanied by high expression of miR-138. We also confirmed that miR-138 promoted osteoblasts apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. MiR-138 was further indicated to inhibit osteoblast survival via negative regulating TIMP-1 expression. Moreover, the downregulated TIMP-1 also mediated the ER stress-induced apoptosis of osteoblasts. We confirmed that miR-138 and ER stress were induced in osteoporosis and then promoted the apoptosis of osteoblasts, at least in part, through TIMP-1.
