Core Tip	This manuscript explores the role of hypoxia-inducible factor 2alpha (HIF-2α) in bone mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenic differentiation in the bone marrow niche, a role that is still unclear and controversial, via in vivo and in vitro experiments. We verified that downregulation of HIF-2α inhibits osteogenesis in vivo by generating mice with BMSC-specific HIF-2α knockout and applying interventions such as bilateral ovariectomy, semilethal irradiation, and treatment with dexamethasone. In vitro, we found that downregulation of HIF-2α can inhibit osteogenesis and increase adipogenesis by suppressing the mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling pathway, which may lead to the identification of drug target genes for the clinical treatment of osteoporosis.
