Ion of USP7 inhibitors may impair osteogenic ability and cause related side effects such as osteoporosis during antineoplastic therapy. However, definitive evidence of the correlation between the usage of USP7 inhibitors and bone homeostasis or bone development, to our knowledge, has not yet been reported, and this awaits our further investigation. Therefore, our findings not only broaden the insight of USP7 functionality, but also provide a new and RR6 custom synthesis valuable method in the bone tissue engineering field; in particular, prevention or buffering of excessive bone formation.Conclusions In summary, our results demonstrated that protein deubiquitinase USP7 functioned as an essential factor in osteogenic differentiation of hASCs through its catalytic activity. Moreover, we obtained similar results on the effects of USP7 on osteogenic differentiation of hBMMSCs, which indicated the essential biological roles of USP7 in mesenchymal stem cells. Besides unraveling the function of USP7 in osteogenic differentiation, our observations also contribute to the understanding of molecular mechanisms governing osteogenic differentiation of hASCs. To some extent, we provide valuable information on underlying targets to develop highly specific agents for the field of bone tissue engineering. Additional filesAdditional file 1: Figure S1.
