MicroRNA-145 Mediates Steroid-Induced Necrosis of the Femoral Head by Targeting the OPG/RANK/RANKL Signaling Pathway.

To investigate the role of microRNA-145 (miR-145) in steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head (SINFH) by evaluating its effects on the OPG/RANK/RANKL signaling pathway.A rat model of SINFH was constructed via injection of the lentiviral vector pLV-shRNA-miR-145. Pathological observation was perf...
