Positive programming of the GC-IGF1 axis mediates adult osteoporosis susceptibility in male offspring rats induced by prenatal dexamethasone exposure

In conclusion, PDE-induced intrauterine hypoglucocorticoid exposure could positively program IGF1 expression in bone tissue through the GRα/miR-130a-5p/HDAC4 pathways, thus mediating osteogenic dysdifferentiation and adult osteoporosis susceptibility in male offspring rats.PMID:36174767 | DOI:10.1016/j.bcp.2022.115264
