Abstract
H subunit of V-ATPase (ATP6V1H) is specifically expressed in osteoclasts and its deficiency lead to osteoporosis. Our group previously found four intronic SNPs of ATP6V1H related to reduced bone mineral density, but the mechanisms was not clear. In this study, we found that the above four SNPs were located at lncRNA lnc-TCEA1-3 by using bioinformatics analysis. We further detected the function of lnc-TCEA1-3 on regulating ATP6V1H and osteoclast function using Atp6v1h knockout mice, lentivirus transfection and qPCR analysis. Over expression of lnc-TCEA1-3 up regulated the expression of ATP6V1H in HEK293 cells, HOS cells and primarily cultured osteoclasts, and increased the number of primarily cultured osteoclasts. In addition, over expression of lnc-TCEA1-3 exerted distinct effect on two transcripts of ATP6V1H in HEK293, HOS and osteoclasts. This study will facilitate the in-depth analysis of the effects of ATP6V1H on bone diseases, and discover new therapeutic strategies.
