Biography
Han Xia has his expertise in evaluation and passion in improving the health and wellbeing. In the current study, he showed that lnc-Evf2 is a preosteoblast-enriched lncRNA that is overexpressed in OLF and during osteogenic differentiation, but was down-expressed in OP. Knockdown of lnc-Evf2 significantly inhibits the expression of osteogenic differentiation marker genes and the ALP activity and delays the osteoblastic mineralization process. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that silencing of lnc-Evf2 decreases the protein levels but not the mRNA levels of Notch2, Notch3, and Hes1 in preosteoblasts and mouse embryonic fibroblasts, suggesting that lnc-Evf2 promotes osteogenesis via the Notch signaling. focusing.
