Abstract
Our results suggested that down-regulation of miR-487b-3p plays an important role in the initiation of Wnt signaling during the ossification process. Wnt signaling may regulate both chondrocyte and osteoblast differentiation and the specification of endochondral ossification in the pathogenesis of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament or the ligamentum flavum.
