{Abstract}: Resorption and atrophy of the alveolar bone, as two consequences of osteoporosis that remarkably complicate the orthodontic and prosthodontic treatments, contribute to the differentiated biological features and force-induced response of jaw bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (JBMSCs) in elderly patients. We isolated and cultured JBMSCs from adolescent and adult patients and then simulated the loading of orthodontic tension stress by constructing an in vitro three-dimensional (3D) stress loading model. The decline in osteogenic differentiation of aged JBMSCs was reversed by tensile stress stimulation. It is interesting to note that tension stimulation had a stronger effect on the osteogenic differentiation of elderly JBMSCs compared to the young ones, indicating a possible mechanism of aging rescue. High-throughput sequencing of microRNA (miRNAs) was subsequently performed before and after tension stimulation in all JBMSCs, followed by the comprehensive comparison of mechanically responsive miRNAs in the 3D strain microenvironment. The results suggested a significant reduction in the expression of miR-210-3p and miR-214-3p triggered by the 3D strain microenvironment in old-JBMSCs. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that both miRNAs participate in the regulation of critical pathways of aging and cellular senescence. Taken together, this study demonstrated that the 3D strain microenvironment efficiently rescued the cellular senescence of old-JBMSCs via modulating specific miRNAs, which provides a novel strategy for coordinating periodontal bone loss and regeneration of the elderly.
