The putative tumor suppressor microRNA let-7c is extensively associated with the biological properties of cancer cells. However, the potential involvement of let-7c in the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells has not been fully explored. In this study, we investigated the influence of hsa-let-7c (let-7c) on the proliferation and differentiation of human dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DPMSCs) treated with insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) via flow cytometry, CCK-8 assays, alizarin red staining, real-time RT-PCR, and western blotting. In general, the proliferative capabilities and cell viability of DPMSCs were not significantly affected by the overexpression or deletion of let-7c. However, overexpression of let-7c significantly inhibited the expression of IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) and downregulated the osteo/odontogenic differentiation of DPMSCs, as indicated by decreased levels of several osteo/odontogenic markers (osteocalcin, osterix, runt-related transcription factor 2, dentin sialophosphoprotein, dentin sialoprotein, alkaline phosphatase, type 1 collagen, and dentin matrix protein 1) in IGF-1-treated DPMSCs. Inversely, deletion of let-7c resulted in increased IGF-1R levels and enhanced osteo/odontogenic differentiation. Furthermore, the ERK, JNK, and P38 MAPK pathways were significantly inhibited following the overexpression of let-7c in DPMSCs. Deletion of let-7c promoted the activation of the JNK and P38 MAPK pathways. Our cumulative findings indicate that Let-7c can inhibit the osteo/odontogenic differentiation of IGF-1-treated DPMSCs by targeting IGF-1R via the JNK/P38 MAPK signaling pathways. A small non-coding RNA molecule can control transformation of stem cells into bone cells by interrupting growth factor signals. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), the most abundant growth factor in bone, was known to trigger stem cells to transform into bone cells. The microRNA let-7c, primarily known as a tumor suppressor, was also known to be involved in bone generation. However, the interactions between the two molecules were poorly understood. Jinhua Yu at Nanjing Medical University in China and co-workers treated stem cells collected from tooth pulp with let-7c, and then assessed their mineralization, which indicates formation of bone. They found that increasing let-7c concentrations inhibited transformation to bone by blocking the IGF-1 signal. Deletion of let-7c had the opposite effect. These findings may facilitate further research in tooth engineering and bone reconstruction.
