Abstract
Osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic bone disease characterized by a reduction in bone mass resulting from multifactorial causes. Icaritin (ICT), a flavonoid glycoside, exhibits a multitude of effects on bone tissue. To examine the influence of ICT on bone trabecular loss in vivo, ovariectomized (OVX) rats were utilized. The ability of ICT to mitigate bone trabecular loss and the underlying anti-osteoporotic pathways were assessed using ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis rats. Furthermore, we gain insights into the osteoprotective mechanisms of ICT on osteoporosis by conducting UPLC-Orbitrap-MS-based metabolomics of rat urine. The results of experiments demonstrated a significant attenuation of bone trabecular loss, as well as improvements in biochemical indices, biomechanical parameters, and microstructure in the ICT administered group compared to the OVX group. Moreover, metabolomics results suggested that the ICT treatment adjusted 33 different metabolites, which associated with the metabolism of amino acids, lipids, and energy. The findings suggest that the anti-osteoporosis effect of ICT may be related to the activation of PI3K/AKT signal and the inhibition of TLR4 pathway regulated by metabonomics. These results contribute to a better understanding of the therapeutic potential of ICT in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Poult Sci 2024; 103:103534. [PMID: 38401226 PMCID: PMC10906518 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The poultry skeletal system serves multiple functions, not only providing structural integrity but also maintaining the balance of essential minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. However, in recent years, the consideration of skeletal traits has been overlooked in the selective breeding of broilers, resulting in an inadequate adaptation of the skeletal system to cope with the rapid increase in body weight. Consequently, this leads to lameness and bone diseases such as tibial dyschondroplasia (TD), which significantly impact the production performance of broilers. Accumulating evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNA) play a crucial role in the differentiation, formation, and disease of cartilage. However, the miRNA-mediated molecular mechanism underlying chicken TD formation is still poorly understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the biological function and regulatory mechanism of miRNA in chicken TD formation. Based on transcriptome sequencing of tibial cartilage in the healthy group and TD group, miR-206a-3p was found to be highly expressed in TD cartilage. The function of miR-206a-3p was explored through the transfection test of miR-206a-3p mimics and miR-206a-3p inhibitor. In this study, we utilized qRT-PCR, CCK-8, EdU, western blot, and flow cytometry to detect the proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of chondrocytes. The results revealed that miR-206a-3p suppressed the proliferation and differentiation of TD chondrocytes while promoting their programmed cell death. Furthermore, through biosynthesis and dual luciferase assays, it was determined that BMP6 was the direct target gene of miR-206a-3p. This finding was further supported by rescue experiments which confirmed the involvement of BMP6 in the regulatory pathway governed by miR-206a-3p. Our results suggest that miR-206a-3p can inhibits the proliferation and differentiation promote apoptosis through the target gene BMP-6 and suppressing the Smad2/3 signaling pathway in chicken TD chondrocytes.

A Mapping Review of the Pathogenesis of Peri-Implantitis: The Biofilm-Mediated Inflammation and Bone Dysregulation (BIND) Hypothesis. Cells 2024; 13:315. [PMID: 38391928 PMCID: PMC10886485 DOI: 10.3390/cells13040315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
This mapping review highlights the need for a new paradigm in the understanding of peri-implantitis pathogenesis. The biofilm-mediated inflammation and bone dysregulation (BIND) hypothesis is proposed, focusing on the relationship between biofilm, inflammation, and bone biology. The close interactions between immune and bone cells are discussed, with multiple stable states likely existing between clinically observable definitions of peri-implant health and peri-implantitis. The framework presented aims to explain the transition from health to disease as a staged and incremental process, where multiple factors contribute to distinct steps towards a tipping point where disease is manifested clinically. These steps might be reached in different ways in different patients and may constitute highly individualised paths. Notably, factors affecting the underlying biology are identified in the pathogenesis of peri-implantitis, highlighting that disruptions to the host-microbe homeostasis at the implant-mucosa interface may not be the sole factor. An improved understanding of disease pathogenesis will allow for intervention on multiple levels and a personalised treatment approach. Further research areas are identified, such as the use of novel biomarkers to detect changes in macrophage polarisation and activation status, and bone turnover.

Stem Cell Rev Rep 2024; 20:554-567. [PMID: 38150082 PMCID: PMC10837250 DOI: 10.1007/s12015-023-10666-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The core clock gene brain and muscle ARNT like-1 (Bmal1) is involved in the regulation of bone tissue aging. However, current studies are mostly limited to the establishment of the association between Bmal1 and bone senescence, without in-depth exploration of its main upstream and downstream regulatory mechanisms. METHODS The luciferase reporter assay, RT-qPCR and Western blotting were performed to detect the interaction between miR-155-5p and Bmal1. The effects of miR-155-5p and Bmal1 on the aging and osteogenic differentiation ability of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were investigated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, flow cytometry, β-gal staining, alkaline phosphatase quantitative assay and alizarin red staining in vitro. The potential molecular mechanism was identified by ChIP-Seq, RNA-seq database analysis and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS The expression of Bmal1 declined with age, while the miR-155-5p was increased. miR-155-5p and Bmal1 repressed each other's expression, and miR-155-5p targeted the Bmal1. Besides, miR-155-5p inhibited the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, promoted cell apoptosis and senescence, inhibited the expression and nuclear translocation of YAP and TAZ. However, Bmal1 facilitated the osteogenic differentiation and suppressed the aging of BMSCs, meanwhile inactivated the Hippo pathway. Moreover, YAP inhibitors abrogated the positive regulation of aging and osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs by miR-155-5p and Bmal1. CONCLUSION In mouse BMSCs, miR-155-5p and Bmal1 regulated the aging and osteogenic differentiation ability of BMSCs mainly through the Hippo signaling pathway. Our findings provide new insights for the interventions in bone aging.

Abstract
Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a refractory condition characterized by the decreased osteogenic ability in tibial pseudarthrosis repair. Periosteal mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) are multipotent cells involved in bone formation regulation. However, the mechanisms underlying its role in CPT remain unclear. In this study, we observed downregulation of circ_0000888 and pleiotrophin (PTN), as well as upregulation of miR-338-3p in CPT derived PMSCs (CPT-dPMSCs). Our results demonstrated that circ_0000888 and PTN likely enhanced the viability, proliferation, and osteogenic ability of PMSCs, while miR-338-3p had the opposite effect. Further analysis confirmed the regulatory relationship circ_0000888 suppressed the activity of miR-338-3p and upregulated the expression of its downstream target PTN by binding to miR-338-3p, consequently promoting the viability and osteogenic differentiation ability of CPT-dPMSCs. Our findings unveil an unexpected link between circ_0000888/miR-338-3p/PTN in promoting osteogenic ability and indicate the potential pathogenic mechanisms of CPT.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and osteoporosis are two major health care problems worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that DM poses a risk for osteoporosis and can contribute to the development of diabetes-induced osteoporosis (DOP). Interestingly, some epidemiological studies suggest that DOP may be at least partially distinct from those skeletal abnormalities associated with old age or postmenopausal osteoporosis. The increasing number of DM patients who also have DOP calls for a discussion of the pathogenesis of DOP and the investigation of drugs to treat DOP. Recently, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have received more attention due to their significant role in cellular functions and bone formation. It is worth noting that ncRNAs have also been demonstrated to participate in the progression of DOP. Meanwhile, nano-delivery systems are considered a promising strategy to treat DOP because of their cellular targeting, sustained release, and controlled release characteristics. Additionally, the utilization of novel technologies such as the CRISPR system has expanded the scope of available options for treating DOP. Hence, this paper explores the functions and regulatory mechanisms of ncRNAs in DOP and highlights the advantages of employing nanoparticle-based drug delivery techniques to treat DOP. Finally, this paper also explores the potential of ncRNAs as diagnostic DOP biomarkers.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV) (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a stilbene found in abundance in berry fruits, peanuts, and some medicinal plants. It has a diverse range of pharmacological activities, underlining the significance of illness prevention and health promotion. The purpose of this review was to delve deeper into RSV's bone-protective properties as well as its molecular mechanisms. Several in vivo studies have found the bone-protective effects of RSV in postmenopausal, senile, and disuse osteoporosis rat models. RSV has been shown to inhibit NF-κB and RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis, oxidative stress, and inflammation while increasing osteogenesis and boosting differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to osteoblasts. Wnt/β-catenin, MAPKs/JNK/ERK, PI3K/AKT, FoxOs, microRNAs, and BMP2 are among the possible kinases and proteins involved in the underlying mechanisms. RSV has also been shown to be the most potent SIRT1 activator to cause stimulatory effects on osteoblasts and inhibitory effects on osteoclasts. RSV may, thus, represent a novel therapeutic strategy for increasing bone growth and reducing bone loss in the elderly and postmenopausal population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metabolism is essential for bone development. The expressions of catabolic markers in chondrocytes show association with miR-34a-5p. This study discussed the mechanism by which miR-34a-5p regulates osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) as well as bone metabolism. METHODS Expressions of BMSC surface markers were determined via flow cytometry. Osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs was subsequently induced. miR-34a-5p mimic, oe-HDAC1, or ER-α activator Ferutinin was introduced in BMSCs. Alkaline phosphatase activity and calcification were detected. Expressions of miR-34a-5p, HDAC1, ER-α, and osteogenic markers were determined via RT-qPCR and Western blot. The binding relationship between miR-34a-5p and HDAC1 was verified by a dual-luciferase assay. Mice at the age of 6 months and 18 months were assigned to the young group and age group for in vivo experiments, and aged mice were treated with agomiR miR-34a-5p. Expressions of serum miR-34a-5p, HDAC1, ER-α, and bone metabolism markers in mice were determined. RESULTS Osteogenic medium-induced BMSCs manifested increased expressions of miR-34a-5p and ER-α and decreased HDAC1 expression. miR-34a-5p overexpression promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. miR-34a-5p targeted HDAC1. HDAC1 overexpression partially counteracted the promotional action of miR-34a-5p overexpression on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. miR-34a-5p overexpression activated ER-α. ER-α activator Ferutinin partially nullified the regulatory function of miR-34a-5p/HDAC1 on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In vivo experiments showed that miR-34a-5p overexpression enhanced the potential of bone metabolism in aged mice. CONCLUSION miR-34a-5p overexpression promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and enhanced bone metabolism by promoting ER-α activation via targeting HDAC1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postmenopausal osteoporosis (POP) is a prevalent skeletal disease among elderly women. Previous study indicated that suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) participates in the regulation of bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) osteogenesis. Here, we further investigated the exact function and mechanism of SOCS3 in POP progression. METHODS BMSCs were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats and treated with Dexamethasone (Dex). Alizarin Red staining and ALP activity assays were applied to assess the osteogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs under the indicated conditions. Osteogenic genes (ALP, OPN, OCN, COL1) mRNA levels were determined using quantitative RT-PCR. Luciferase reporter assay verified the interaction between SOCS3 and miR-218-5p. Rat models of POP were established in ovariectomized (OVX) rats to detect the in vivo effects of SOCS3 and miR-218-5p. RESULTS We found that silencing SOCS3 antagonized the suppressive effects of Dex on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. SOCS3 was found to be targeted by miR-218-5p in BMSCs. The SOCS3 levels were negatively modulated by miR-218-5p in femurs of POP rats. MiR-218-5p upregulation promoted the BMSC osteogenic differentiation, while SOCS3 overexpression reversed the effects of miR-218-5p. Moreover, SOCS3 was highly expressed and miR-218-5p was downregulated in the OVX rat models, and silencing SOCS3 or overexpressing miR-218-5p alleviated POP in OVX rats by promoting osteogenesis. CONCLUSION SOCS3 downregulation mediated by miR-218-5p increases osteoblast differentiation to alleviate POP.

Liu Q, Bao H, Zhang S, Song T, Li C, Sun G, Sun X, Fu T, Wang Y, Liang P. Identification of a cellular senescence-related-lncRNA (SRlncRNA) signature to predict the overall survival of glioma patients and the tumor immune microenvironment. Front Genet 2023; 14:1096792. [PMID: 36911393 PMCID: PMC9998504 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1096792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Gliomas are brain tumors that arise from glial cells, and they are the most common primary intracranial tumors with a poor prognosis. Cellular senescence plays a critical role in cancer, especially in glioma. In this study, we constructed a senescence-related lncRNA (SRlncRNA) signature to assess the prognosis of glioma. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas was used to collect SRlncRNA transcriptome profiles and clinical data about glioma. Patients were randomized to training, testing, and whole cohorts. LASSO and Cox regression analyses were employed to construct the SRlncRNA signature, and Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis was performed to determine each cohort's survival. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to verify the accuracy of this signature. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to visualize functional enrichment (GSEA). The CIBERSORT algorithm, ESTIMATE and TIMER databases were utilized to evaluate the differences in the infiltration of 22 types of immune cells and their association with the signature. RT-qPCR and IHC were used to identify the consistency of the signature in tumor tissue. Results: An SRlncRNA signature consisting of six long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) was constructed, and patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups by the median of their riskscore. The KM analysis showed that the high-risk group had worse overall survival, and the ROC curve confirmed that the riskscore had more accurate predictive power. A multivariate Cox analysis and its scatter plot with clinical characteristics confirmed the riskscore as an independent risk factor for overall survival. GSEA showed that the GO and KEGG pathways were mainly enriched in the immune response to tumor cells, p53 signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, and Wnt signaling pathway. Further validation also yielded significant differences in the risk signature in terms of immune cell infiltration, which may be closely related to prognostic differences, and qRT-PCR and IHC confirmed the consistency of the expression differences in the major lncRNAs with those in the prediction model. Conclusion Our findings indicated that the SRlncRNA signature might be used as a predictive biomarker and that there is a link between it and immune infiltration. This discovery is consistent with the present categorization system and may open new avenues for research and personalized therapy.

Mir155 regulates osteogenesis and bone mass phenotype via targeting S1pr1 gene. eLife 2023; 12:77742. [PMID: 36598122 PMCID: PMC9839347 DOI: 10.7554/elife.77742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
MicroRNA-155 (miR155) is overexpressed in various inflammatory diseases and cancer, in which bone resorption and osteolysis are frequently observed. However, the role of miR155 on osteogenesis and bone mass phenotype is still unknown. Here, we report a low bone mass phenotype in the long bone of Mir155-Tg mice compared with wild-type mice. In contrast, Mir155-KO mice showed a high bone mass phenotype and protective effect against inflammation-induced bone loss. Mir155-KO mice showed robust bone regeneration in the ectopic and orthotopic model, but Mir155-Tg mice showed compromised bone regeneration compared with the wild-type mice. Similarly, the osteogenic differentiation potential of bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSCs) from Mir155-KO mice was robust and Mir155-Tg was compromised compared with that of wild-type mice. Moreover, Mir155 knockdown in BMSCs from wild-type mice showed higher osteogenic differentiation potential, supporting the results from Mir155-KO mice. TargetScan analysis predicted sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor-1 (S1pr1) as a target gene of Mir155, which was further confirmed by luciferase assay and Mir155 knockdown. S1pr1 overexpression in BMSCs robustly promoted osteogenic differentiation without affecting cell viability and proliferation. Furthermore, osteoclastogenic differentiation of Mir155-Tg bone marrow-derived macrophages was inhibited compared with that of wild-type mice. Thus, Mir155 showed a catabolic effect on osteogenesis and bone mass phenotype via interaction with the S1pr1 gene, suggesting inhibition of Mir155 as a potential strategy for bone regeneration and bone defect healing.

Abstract
Metabolic bone diseases is the third most common endocrine diseases after diabetes and thyroid diseases. More than 500 million people worldwide suffer from metabolic bone diseases. The generation and development of bone metabolic diseases is a complex process regulated by multiple signaling pathways, among which the Notch signaling pathway is one of the most important pathways. The Notch signaling pathway regulates the differentiation and function of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and affects the process of cartilage formation, bone formation and bone resorption. Genetic mutations in upstream and downstream of Notch signaling genes can lead to a series of metabolic bone diseases, such as Alagille syndrome, Adams-Oliver syndrome and spondylocostal dysostosis. In this review, we analyzed the mechanisms of Notch ligands, Notch receptors and signaling molecules in the process of signal transduction, and summarized the progress on the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of bone metabolic diseases caused by Notch gene mutation. We hope to draw attention to the role of the Notch signaling pathway in metabolic bone diseases and provide new ideas and approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of metabolic bone diseases.

Abstract
Bone fragility is highly prevalent, yet underdiagnosed in patients with chronic kidney disease. Incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology and limitations of current diagnostics contribute to therapeutic hesitation, if not nihilism. This narrative review addresses the question of whether microRNAs (miRNAs) may improve therapeutic decision making in osteoporosis and renal osteodystrophy. miRNAs are key epigenetic regulators of bone homeostasis and show promise as both therapeutic targets and as biomarkers, primarily of bone turnover. Experimental studies show that miRNAs are involved in several osteogenic pathways. Clinical studies exploring the usefulness of circulating miRNAs for fracture risk stratification and for guiding and monitoring therapy are few and, so far, provide inconclusive results. Likely, (pre)analytical heterogeneity contributes to these equivocal results. In conclusion, miRNAs are promising in metabolic bone disease, both as a diagnostic tool and as therapeutic targets, but not yet ready for clinical prime time.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital roles in bone metabolism and participate in the mechanically induced bone alterations. The underlying molecular mechanisms by which fluid shear stress (FSS) regulate the proliferative and apoptotic phenotypic changes of osteoblasts remain elusive. The study aimed to investigate the regulatory effects of FSS on osteoblast proliferative and apoptotic phenotypes and the roles of miR-214-3p-ATF4 (activating transcription factor 4) signaling axis in the mechanomodulation processes. FSS promoted the proliferative activity of osteoblasts and suppressed mitochondrial-mediated osteoblast apoptosis. FSS decreased miR-214-3p expression and increased ATF4 expression in MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts. MiR-214-3p inhibited osteoblast proliferative activity and promoted mitochondrial-mediated osteoblast apoptosis. Overexpression of miR-214-3p attenuated FSS-enhanced osteoblast proliferation and FSS-suppressed mitochondrial-mediated osteoblast apoptosis. We validated that ATF4 acted as a target gene of miR-214-3p. Moreover, miR-214 3p regulated osteoblast proliferation and apoptosis through targeting ATF4. Taken together, our study proved that FSS could suppress mitochondrial-mediated osteoblast apoptosis and promote osteoblast proliferation through the miR-214-3p-ATF4 signaling axis.

Abstract
Activin A receptor type I (ACVR1), a transmembrane serine/threonine kinase, belongs to the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, which signals via phosphorylating the downstream effectors and SMAD transcription factors. Its central role in several biological processes and intracellular signaling is well known. Genetic variation in ACVR1 has been associated with a rare disease, fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive, and its somatic alteration is reported in rare cancer diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Furthermore, altered expression or variation of ACVR1 is associated with multiple pathologies such as polycystic ovary syndrome, congenital heart defects, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, posterior fossa ependymoma and other malignancies. Recent advancements have witnessed ACVR1 as a potential pharmacological target, and divergent promising approaches for its therapeutic targeting have been explored. This review highlights the structural and functional characteristics of receptor ACVR1, associated signaling pathways, genetic variants in several diseases and cancers, protein-protein interaction, gene expression, regulatory miRNA prediction and potential therapeutic targeting approaches. The comprehensive knowledge will offer new horizons and insights into future strategies harnessing its therapeutic potential.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally and circulate in the blood, making them attractive biomarkers of disease state for tissues like bone that are challenging to interrogate directly. Here, we report on five miRNAs-miR-197-3p, miR-320a, miR-320b, miR-331-5p, and miR-423-5p-associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in 147 healthy adult baboons. These baboons ranged in age from 15 to 25 years (45-75 human equivalent years) and 65% were female with a broad range of BMD values including a minority of osteopenic animals. miRNAs were generated via RNA sequencing from buffy coats collected at necropsy and areal BMD (aBMD) measured postmortem via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar vertebrae. Differential expression analysis controlled for the underlying pedigree structure of these animals to account for genetic variation which may drive miRNA abundance and aBMD values. While many of these miRNAs have been associated with the risk of osteoporosis in humans, this finding is of interest because the cohort represents a model of normal aging and bone metabolism rather than a disease cohort. The replication of miRNA associations with osteoporosis or other bone metabolic disorders in animals with healthy aBMD suggests an overlap in normal variation and disease states. We suggest that these miRNAs are involved in the regulation of cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and protein composition in the extracellular matrix throughout life; and age-related dysregulation of these systems may lead to disease. These miRNAs may be early indicators of progression to disease in advance of clinically detectible osteoporosis.

Abstract
The long-term treatment of glucocorticoids is a common cause of osteoporosis (OP). This study concentrated on inquiring into the regulatory role and potential mechanisms of TRG-AS1 on dexamethasone (Dex)-induced OP in rats. We adopted Dex to treat rat osteoblasts and rats to simulate in-vitro and in-vivo OP models, respectively. Gain-of-function assays of TRG-AS1, miR-802 and CAB39 were constructed in rat osteoblasts to make certain the influence of TRG-AS1, miR-802 and CAB39 on differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis of rat osteoblasts. TRG-AS1 and CAB39 were down-regulated in the Dex-induced OP model in rats, in contrast to miR-802. Overexpression of TRG-AS1 restrained Dex-induced inhibition of osteogenic differentiation, promoted CAB39/AMPK/SIRT-1 and inhibited NF-κB, while overexpression of miR-802 bridled the inhibitory effect of TRG-AS1 on OP. miR-802 was targeted by TRG-AS1, and inhibited CAB39. Inhibition of either AMPK or SIRT-1 abated the osteogenic differentiation-promoting effect of CAB39. Animal experiments displayed that overexpressing TRG-AS1 alleviated Dex-induced OP in rats. In conclusion, up-regulation of TRG-AS1 protected against glucocorticoid-induced OP in rats by modulating the miR-802-mediated CAB39/AMPK/SIRT-1/NF-κB axis.

Abstract
The growing knowledge on several classes of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and their different functional roles has aroused great interest in the scientific community. Beyond the Central Dogma of Biology, it is clearly known that not all RNAs code for protein products, and they exert a broader repertoire of biological functions. As described in this review, ncRNAs participate in gene expression regulation both at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and represent critical elements driving and controlling pathophysiological processes in multicellular organisms. For this reason, in recent years, a great boost was given to ncRNA-based strategies with potential therapeutic abilities, and nowadays, the use of RNA molecules is experimentally validated and actually exploited in clinics to counteract several diseases. In this review, we summarize the principal classes of therapeutic ncRNA molecules that are potentially implied in disease onset and progression, which are already used in clinics or under clinical trials, highlighting the advantages and the need for a targeted therapeutic strategy design. Furthermore, we discuss the benefits and the limits of RNA therapeutics and the ongoing development of delivery strategies to limit the off-target effects and to increase the translational application.

Abstract
Background: Degenerative disk disease (DDD) remains the leading incentive of severe lumbago. DDD is mainly caused by degeneration of cartilage endplate (CEP). Cartilage endplate stem cells (CESCs) are essential in chondrogenesis and osteogenesis of CEP. This study investigated the mechanism of miR-637 inhibiting osteogenic differentiation of human CESC by regulating WNT5A.Methods: The degenerative CEP (N = 10) and non-degenerative CEP (N = 6) were obtained from patients undergoing disk fusion surgery. CESCs were examined for surface stem cell markers, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, osteogenic differentiation, osteogenic genes (Runx2, COL1), and chondrogenic gene (COL2). The miR-637 expression in CESCs was detected. The targeting relationship of miR-637 and WNT5A was confirmed. After miR-637 overexpression/WNT5A down-regulation, the action of miR-637/WNT5A on osteogenic differentiation of CESCs was evaluated. After simultaneous overexpression of miR-637/WNT5A, the effect of miR-637 on osteogenic differentiation of CESCs was assessed.Results: miR-637 was down-expressed in degenerative CESCs (D-CESCs), and miR-637 overexpression inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of D-CESCs, while inhibition of miR-637 promoted the osteogenic differentiation ability of D-CESCs. miR-637 targeted WNT5A and down-regulation of WNT5A inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of D-CESCs. Up-regulated WNT5A partially annulled the inhibitory action of miR-637 overexpression on osteogenic differentiation of D-CESCs.Conclusion: miR-637 inhibited osteogenic differentiation of D-CESCs via targeting WNT5A.

Reduced Circulating Levels of miR-491-5p and miR-485-3p Are Associated with the Occurrence of Vertebral Fractures in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis. Genet Res (Camb) 2022; 2022:3838126. [PMID: 35321519 PMCID: PMC8920642 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3838126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective. Postmenopausal women experiences osteoporotic structural damage and bone fragility resulting from reduced bone formation and increased bone resorption. Osteoporosis frequently affects the vertebral column and causes compression fractures. This study aims to characterize roles of miRNAs in osteoporosis and subsequent incidence risk of vertebral fractures for postmenopausal women. Methods. Differentially expressed miRNAs between osteoporotic patients with vertebral fractures and osteoporotic patients without fracture were identified. This retrospective study included 78 osteoporotic patients with vertebral fractures and 82 osteoporotic patients without vertebral fractures. The plasma levels of bone metabolic markers, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-(OH)VitD), propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), and β-Carboxyl terminal peptide (β-CTx), were detected using the patented electro-chemiluminescence (ECLIA) method. The expression levels of miR-491-5p and miR-485-3p were determined by qRT-PCR. Pearson correlation analysis was carried out to assess the relationship between miR-491-5p, miR-485-3p, and bone metabolic markers. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the performance of miR-491-5p and miR-485-3p in diagnosing the occurrence of vertebral fractures in osteoporotic patients.Results: The plasma levels of PINP and β-CTx were elevated but the plasma level of 25-(OH)VitD was declined in osteoporotic patients with vertebral fractures when comparable to those without (< 0.05). The plasma expression levels of miR-491-5p and miR-485-3p were declined osteoporotic patients with vertebral fractures when comparable to those without (< 0.001). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the relative expression level of miR-491-5p was negatively correlated with the level of 25-(OH)VitD (r = -0.518, < 0.001) but positively correlated with the levels of PINP (r = 0.547, < 0.001) and β-CTx (r = 0.380, < 0.001). We also observed a negative correlation between the relative expression level of miR-485-3p and 25-(OH)VitD (r = -0.388, < 0.001), a positive correlation between miR-485-3p and PINP (r = 0.422,< 0.001). ROC curves for prediction of vertebral fracture following osteoporosis in postmenopausal women by miR-491-5p expression yielded 0.866 AUC and by miR-485-3p expression produced 0.848 AUC. Conclusion. The data suggest that downregulated expressions of miR-491-5p and miR-485-3p may be involved in the occurrence of vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Abstract
This article describes several recent examples of miRNA governing the regulation of the gene expression involved in bone matrix construction. We present the impact of miRNA on the subsequent steps in the formation of collagen type I. Collagen type I is a main factor of mechanical bone stiffness because it constitutes 90–95% of the organic components of the bone. Therefore, the precise epigenetic regulation of collagen formation may have a significant influence on bone structure. We also describe miRNA involvement in the expression of genes, the protein products of which participate in collagen maturation in various tissues and cancer cells. We show how non-collagenous proteins in the extracellular matrix are epigenetically regulated by miRNA in bone and other tissues. We also delineate collagen mineralisation in bones by factors that depend on miRNA molecules. This review reveals the tissue variability of miRNA regulation at different levels of collagen maturation and mineralisation. The functionality of collagen mRNA regulation by miRNA, as proven in other tissues, has not yet been shown in osteoblasts. Several collagen-regulating miRNAs are co-expressed with collagen in bone. We suggest that collagen mRNA regulation by miRNA could also be potentially important in bone metabolism.

Abstract
Bone marrow (BM) is a heterogeneous niche where bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), osteoblasts, osteoclasts, adipocytes, hematopoietic cells, and immune cells coexist. The cellular composition of BM changes with various pathophysiological states. A reduction in osteoblast number and a concomitant increase in adipocyte number in aging and pathological conditions put bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) into spotlight. Accumulating evidence strongly supports that an overwhelming production of BMAT is a major contributor to bone loss disorders. Therefore, BMAT-targeted therapy can be an efficient and feasible intervention for osteoporosis. However, compared to blocking bone-destroying molecules produced by BMAT, suppressing BMAT formation is theoretically a more effective and fundamental approach in treating osteoporotic bone diseases. Thus, a deep insight into the molecular basis underlying increased BM adiposity during pathologic bone loss is critical to formulate strategies for therapeutically manipulating BMAT. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the molecular mechanisms involved in adipocyte differentiation of BMSCs as well as the interaction between bone marrow adipocytes and osteoclasts. More importantly, we further discuss the potential clinical implications of therapeutically targeting the upstream of BMAT formation in bone loss diseases.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic skeletal disease that promotes bone fragility and the risk of fractures. Recent studies have shown the relevance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the development of OP. This study aimed to evaluate the possible mechanisms of action underlying miR-27a loaded by mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) in OP. Serum samples from OP patients and normal controls were collected for miRNA microarray analysis. The expression of filtered miRNA was upregulated in osteoblasts (OB) and osteoclasts (OCs) for biological activity assessment. After developing OP mice using ovariectomy (OVX) and confirming OP, the miR-27a expression level was upregulated in mice by MSC-EV application. Dual-luciferase assays were conducted to validate the relationship between miR-27a and DKK2 expression. The poor expression of miR-27a was observed in patients with OP. miR-27a increased the expression of OB markers, the number of ALP-positive cells, and the number of calcium nodules in OCs. In OVX mice, miR-27a increased bone density, improved bone structure damage recovery, decreased the levels of bone resorption markers, and decreased OC number. miR-27a transmitted by MSC-EVs interacted with DKK2. MSC-EVs exerted the same protective effects as miR-27a on OP, whereas miR-27a inhibitor abolished the attenuating effects of MSC-EVs. In contrast, DKK2 depletion reversed the stimulatory effects of the miR-27a inhibitor on OP. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway was activated upon MSC-EV application and DKK2 silencing and was impaired upon the downregulation of the expression of miR-27a. MSC-EVs are effective in preventing mouse OP. This mechanism is mediated by the miR-27a/DKK2/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
RNA therapeutics involve the use of coding RNA such as mRNA as well as non-coding RNAs such as small interfering RNAs (siRNA), antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) to target mRNA, aptamers, ribozymes, and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR-associated (CRISPR/Cas) endonuclease to target proteins and DNA. Due to their diverse targeting ability and research in RNA modification and delivery systems, RNA-based formulations have emerged as suitable treatment options for many diseases. Therefore, in this article, we have summarized different RNA therapeutics, their targeting strategies, and clinical progress for various diseases as well as limitations; so that it might help researchers formulate new and advanced RNA therapeutics for various diseases. Additionally, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA)-approved RNA-based therapeutics have also been discussed.

Abstract
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the leading cause of secondary osteoporosis. Although bone mineral density (BMD) tends to recover after parathyroidectomy in PHPT patients, the degree of recovery varies. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) profiles are known to be correlated with osteoporosis and fracture. We aimed to investigate whether osteoporotic fracture-related miRNAs are associated with postoperative BMD recovery in PHPT. Here, 16 previously identified osteoporotic fracture-related miRNAs were selected. We analyzed the association between the preoperative level of each miRNA and total hip (TH) BMD change. All 12 patients (among the 18 patients enrolled) were cured of PHPT after parathyroidectomy as parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium levels were restored to the normal range. Preoperative miR-19b-3p, miR-122-5p, and miR-375 showed a negative association with the percent changes in TH BMD from baseline. The association remained robust for miR-122-5p and miR-375 even after adjusting for sex, age, PTH, and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide levels in a multivariable model. In conclusion, preoperative circulating miR-122-5p and miR-375 levels were negatively associated with TH BMD changes after parathyroidectomy in PHPT patients. miRNAs have the potential to serve as predictive biomarkers of treatment response in PHPT patients, which merits further investigation.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is one of the major bone disorders that affects both women and men, and causes bone deterioration and bone strength. Bone remodeling maintains bone mass and mineral homeostasis through the balanced action of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are responsible for bone formation and bone resorption, respectively. The imbalance in bone remodeling is known to be the main cause of osteoporosis. The imbalance can be the result of the action of various molecules produced by one bone cell that acts on other bone cells and influence cell activity. The understanding of the effect of these molecules on bone can help identify new targets and therapeutics to prevent and treat bone disorders. In this article, we have focused on molecules that are produced by osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts and their mechanism of action on these cells. We have also summarized the different pharmacological osteoporosis treatments that target different molecular aspects of these bone cells to minimize osteoporosis.

Abstract
Ample proof showed that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a crucial role in proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Varied forms of biophysical stimuli like mechanical strain, fluid shear stress (FSS), microgravity and vibration are verified to regulate ncRNAs expression in osteogenic differentiation and influence the expression of target genes associated with osteogenic differentiation and ultimately regulate bone formation. The consequences of biophysical stimulation on osteogenic differentiation validate the prospect of exercise for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. In this review, we tend to summarize the studies on regulation of osteogenic differentiation by ncRNAs beneath biophysical stimulation and facilitate to reveal the regulatory mechanism of biophysical stimulation on ncRNAs, and provide an update for the prevention of bone metabolism diseases by exercise.

Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs) are important cells that are involved in the regulation of bone metabolism and are mainly responsible for coordinating bone resorption with bone formation to regulate bone remodeling. The imbalance between bone resorption and formation significantly affects bone metabolism. When the activity of osteoclasts exceeds the osteoblasts, it results in a condition called osteoporosis, which is characterized by reduced bone microarchitecture, decreased bone mass, and increased occurrences of fracture. Molecules, including transcription factors, proteins, hormones, nucleic acids, such as non-coding RNAs, play an important role in osteoclast proliferation, differentiation, and function. In this review, we have highlighted the role of these molecules in osteoclasts regulation and osteoporosis. The developed therapeutics targeting these molecules for the treatment of osteoporosis in recent years have also been discussed with challenges faced in clinical application.

Abstract
Pathological changes in the ligamentum flavum (LF) can be defined as a process of chronic progressive aberrations in the nature and structure of ligamentous tissues characterized by increased thickness, reduced elasticity, local calcification, or aggravated ossification, which may cause severe myelopathy, radiculopathy, or both. Hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum (HLF) and ossification of ligamentum flavum (OLF) are clinically common entities. Though accumulated evidence has indicated both genetic and environmental factors could contribute to the initiation and progression of HLF/OLF, the definite pathogenesis remains fully unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), one of the important epigenetic modifications, are short single-stranded RNA molecules that regulate protein-coding gene expression at posttranscriptional level, which can disclose the mechanism underlying diseases, identify valuable biomarkers, and explore potential therapeutic targets. Considering that miRNAs play a central role in regulating gene expression, we summarized current studies from the point of view of miRNA-related molecular regulation networks in HLF/OLF. Exploratory studies revealed a variety of miRNA expression profiles and identified a battery of upregulated and downregulated miRNAs in OLF/HLF patients through microarray datasets or transcriptome sequencing. Experimental studies validated the roles of specific miRNAs (e.g., miR-132-3p, miR-199b-5p in OLF, miR-155, and miR-21 in HLF) in regulating fibrosis or osteogenesis differentiation of LF cells and related target genes or molecular signaling pathways. Finally, we discussed the perspectives and challenges of miRNA-based molecular mechanism, diagnostic biomarkers, and therapeutic targets of HLF/OLF.

Abstract
The directional differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is regulated by a variety of transcription factors and intracellular signaling pathways. In the past, it was thought that the directional differentiation of BMSCs was related to transforming growth factors, such as bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and MAPK pathway. However, in recent years, some scholars have pointed out that the Wnt signaling pathway, which is a necessary complex network of protein interactions for biological growth and development, takes a significant role in this process and plays a major part in regulating the development of osteoblasts by exerting signal transduction into cells. Also, they have proved the Wnt protein therapeutic truly have positive effects on the viability and osteogenic capacity of bone graft. Recent studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important regulatory role in this process. MiRNAs such as miRNA-218, miRNA-335, miRNA-29, microRNA-30 and other miRNAs exert negative or positive effects on some crucial molecules in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which in turn affect bone metabolism and osteopathy. Thus, miRNAs have been suggested as therapeutic targets for some metabolic bone diseases. This article aims to provide an update on the current status of microRNAs that target the Wnt signaling pathway in the regulation of osteogenesis and bone metabolism and includes a discussion of future areas of research, which can be a theoretical basis for bone metabolism-related diseases.

Abstract
Ribonucleic acids (small interfering RNA, microRNA, and messenger RNA) have been emerging as a promising new class of therapeutics for bone regeneration. So far, however, research has mostly focused on stability and complexation of these oligonucleotides for systemic delivery. By comparison, delivery of RNA nanocomplexes from biomaterial carriers can facilitate a spatiotemporally controlled local delivery of osteogenic oligonucleotides. This review provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in the design of biomaterials which allow for temporal and spatial control over RNA delivery. We correlate this concept of spatiotemporally controlled RNA delivery to the most relevant events that govern bone regeneration to evaluate to which extent tuning of release kinetics is required. In addition, inspired by the physiological principles of bone regeneration, potential new RNA targets are presented. Finally, considerations for clinical translation and upscaled production are summarized to stimulate the design of clinically relevant RNA-releasing biomaterials.

Abstract
Bone is a mechanosensitive organ that provides strength and support. Many bone cells, various pathways, and signaling molecules coordinate bone metabolism and also determine the course of bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, osteonecrosis, osteopenia, etc. Osteoporosis is caused by increased bone resorption and reduced bone formation due to the changes in the level of different proteins and RNAs in osteoclast or/and osteoblasts. The available therapeutic interventions can significantly reduce bone resorption or enhance bone formation, but their prolonged use has deleterious side effects. Therefore, the use of non-coding RNAs as therapeutics has emerged as an interesting field of research. Despite advancements in the molecular field, not much is known about the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in bone homeostasis and osteoporosis. Therefore, in this article, we summarize the role of lncRNAs and circRNAs in different bone cells and osteoporosis so that it might help in the development of osteoporotic therapeutics.
