Overexpression of NORAD improved Dex-induced inhibition of proliferation and differentiation, and promotion of apoptosis in hBMSCs. a The NORAD expression in hBMSCs was detected by RT-qPCR. b The bands of RUNX2, OPG, RANK, and RANKL protein was detected by western blot. c–f The protein expression of RUNX2 (c), OPG (d), RANK (e), and RANKL (f) was detected by western blot. g The proliferation ability of hBMSCs was measured by the CCK-8 assay. h The flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis in hBMSCs. **P < 0.01 and *P < 0.05 compared with control group, ##P < 0.01 and #P < 0.05 compared with Dex and Vector group, &&P < 0.01 and &P < 0.05 compared with Dex+Vector group
