Fig. 7

CircRNA-vgll3-modified ADSCs composition with CPC scaffolds promote the repair of critical-sized bone defects. CircRNA-vgll3 directly sequesters miR-326-5p in the cytoplasm and inhibits its activity, which in turn upregulates the protein levels of Itga5. The upregulated Itga5 protein levels help mediate the homing of ADSCs to the bone, the recruitment of osteoprogenitor cells, and the promotion of osteogenic differentiation in ADSCs.
