Bone‐marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have great potential in transplantation medicine due to their multiple advantages. However, the controlled differentiation of MSCs is one of the key aspects of effective clinical transplantation. Growing evidence suggests that the cell cycle plays an important role in regulating differentiation, while p130 and E2F4 are key to cell cycle checkpoints. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects and mechanism of p130/E2F4 on the multidifferentiation of MSCs. Our data showed that the transduction efficiencies of p130 or E2F4 mediated by lentiviral vectors were 80.3%–84.4%. p130 and E2F4 mRNA expression was significantly higher in MSC‐p130 and MSC‐E2F4 cells than in MSC normal control (NC) cells. Similar results were also observed for p130 and E2F4 protein expression. After osteogenic or adipogenic differentiation, the G1 phase was significantly delayed in the MSC‐p130 and MSC‐E2F4 groups compared with that in the MSC‐NC group. However, the G1 phase in the MSC‐p130 and MSC‐E2F4 groups did the opposite after chondrogenic differentiation. Moreover, overexpressing p130 or E2F4 significantly improved osteogenic differentiation while inhibiting adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of mouse MSCs (mMSCs). Moreover, overexpressing p130 or E2F4 significantly improved migration but not proliferation of mMSCs. Our data suggest that cell cycle regulation may be involved in p130/E2F4‐mediated changes in the multipotential abilities of bone‐marrow‐derived mMSCs.
