Regulation of Histone Deacetylases by MicroRNAs in Bone

Formation of new bone by osteoblasts is mediated via the activation of signaling pathways, such as TGF-β, BMP, and Wnt. A number of transcription factors participate in the signaling cascades that are tightly regulated by other regulatory factors. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are one such class of regulatory factors that play an essential role in influencing chromatin architecture and regulate the expression of the genes that play a role in...
