Abstract
At present, much more studies have focused on the role of microRNAs in osteoporosis, but the more specific role of microRNA-150-3p (miR-150-3p) in osteoporosis still needs full exploration. We aim at investigating the role of miR-150-3p in osteoporosis and at exploring the related mechanisms. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were cultured, from which exosomes were isolated. Osteoporosis models were established by ovariectomy and injected with transfected BMSCs exosomes. Bone formation markers in serum, histopathological changes and miR-150-3p, runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and Osterix expression, and osteoblast apoptosis in femoral tissues were detected. Osteoblasts were isolated and co-cultured with the transfected BMSCs-derived exosomes. Osteoblast proliferation, cell differentiation, and apoptosis, along with miR-150-3p, Runx2, and Osterix expression in osteoblasts were detected. In vivo experiment demonstrated that miR-150-3p, Runx2, and Osterix expression was decreased whereas bone formation markers were decreased in osteoporosis. BMSCs exosomes attenuated osteoporosis, which was further improved by upregulated miR-150-3p in exosomes whereas it was impaired by downregulated miR-150-3p in exosomes. In vitro experiments declared decreased miR-150-3p, Runx2, and Osterix expression; suppressed proliferation; and encouraged apoptosis in osteoblasts in osteoporosis. BMSCs exosomes promoted osteoblast proliferation and differentiation and inhibited apoptosis, which was strengthened by raised exosomal miR-150-3p whereas it was disrupted by inhibited exosomal miR-150-3p. Our study elucidates that exosomal miR-150-3p promotes osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in osteoporosis and provides a new clue for the treatment of patients with osteoporosis.

Front Cell Dev Biol 2021; 8:581545.

Abstract
Objective Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) confer therapeutic benefits in various pathologies and cancers by releasing extracellular vesicles (EVs) loaded with bioactive compounds. Herein, we identified bone marrow MSC (BMSC)-derived EVs harboring microRNA (miR)-29b-3p to regulate osteogenic differentiation through effects on the suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1)/nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway via targeting of lysine demethylase 5A (KDM5A) in osteoporosis. Methods We quantified the miR-29b-3p in BMSC-derived EVs from bone marrow specimens of osteoporotic patients and non-osteoporotic patients during total hip arthroplasty (THA). miR-29b-3p targeting KDM5A was confirmed by promoter luciferase assay, and enrichment of KDM5A in the promoter region of SOCS1 was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). The expression and translocation of NF-κB to the nucleus were detected by western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining, respectively. An ovariectomized (OVX) osteoporosis mouse model was established to further confirm the in vitro findings. Results BMSC-derived EVs of osteoporotic patients exhibited downregulated miR-29b-3p. EV-encapsulated miR-29b-3p from BMSCs potentiated osteogenic differentiation by specifically inhibiting KDM5A. KDM5A inhibited osteogenic differentiation by the regulation of H3K4me3 and H3K27ac of SOCS1. SOCS1 potentiated osteogenic differentiation by inhibiting NF-κB pathway. Conclusion EV-encapsulated miR-29b-3p derived from BMSCs potentiated osteogenic differentiation through blockade of the SOCS1/NF-κB pathway by inhibition of KDM5A.

[PMID: 33413663 PMCID: PMC7791659 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-02112-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Age-related bone loss plays a vital role in the development of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture. Bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) senescence is highly associated with osteoporosis and limits the application of BMSCs in regenerative medicine. Hypoxia is an essential component for maintaining the normal physiology of BMSCs. We have reported that activation of hypoxia-induced factor by deletion of von Hippel-Lindau gene in osteochondral progenitor cells protected mice from aging-induced bone loss. However, whether pharmacologically manipulation of hypoxic niche would attenuate age-related bone loss and dysfunction of BMSCs is not well understood. Methods Twelve-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were used as an aged model and were intraperitoneally injected with Desferal® (20, 60 mg/kg weight or vehicle), three times a week for a continuous 8-week period. Two-month-old young rats were set as a reference. After 8 weeks, micro-CT and HE staining were performed to determine the effect of Desferal® on bone loss. In order to investigate the effects of Desferal® on BMSC senescence, 12-month-old rats were treated with high-dose Desferal® (60 mg/kg weight) daily for 10 days. BMSCs were isolated and evaluated using CCK-8 assay, colony-forming cell assay, cell differentiation assay, laser confocal for reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining, and molecular expression test for stemness/senescence-associated genes. Results Micro-CT and HE staining showed that high-dose Desferal® significantly prevented bone loss in aged rats. Compared with vehicle group, the ex vivo experiments showed that short-term Desferal® administration could promote the potential of BMSC growth (proliferation and colony formation ability) and improve the rebalance of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, as well as rejuvenate senescent BMSCs (ROS level and SA-β-gal staining) and revise the expression of stemness/senescence-associated genes. The potential of BMSCs from 12M-H-Desferal® group at least partly revised to the level close to 2-month-old group. Conclusions The current study suggested that Desferal®, an iron-chelating agent, could alleviate age-related bone loss in middle-aged rats. Meanwhile, we found that short-term intraperitoneal injection of Desferal® partly rejuvenate BMSCs from aged rats. Overall, we demonstrated a novel role of Desferal® in rejuvenating aged BMSCs and preventing age-related bone loss.

Stem Cell Res Ther 2021; 12:35.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease inducing the absorption of alveolar bone and leading to tooth loss. Human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HAMSCs) have been used for studying inflammatory processes. This study aimed to explore the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) in HAMSC-driven osteogenesis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs). METHODS The cells were incubated with a co-culture system. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were used to detect the oxidative stress level. Flow cytometry was performed to determine cell proliferation. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin red assay, cell transfection, and rat mandibular defect model were used to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot analysis, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and immunofluorescence staining were used to evaluate the molecular mechanisms. RESULTS This study showed that HAMSCs promoted the osteogenesis of LPS-induced HBMSCs, while the ANRIL level in HBMSCs decreased during co-culture. ANRIL had no significant influence on the proliferation of LPS-induced HBMSCs. However, its overexpression inhibited the HAMSC-driven osteogenesis in vivo and in vitro, whereas its knockdown reversed these effects. Mechanistically, this study found that downregulating ANRIL led to the overexpression of microRNA-125a (miR-125a), and further contributed to the competitive binding of miR-125a and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), thus significantly activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. CONCLUSION The study indicated that HAMSCs promoted the osteogenic differentiation of LPS-induced HBMSCs via the ANRIL/miR-125a/APC axis, and offered a novel approach for periodontitis therapy.

Abstract
Diabetic osteoporosis (DOP) is attributed to the aberrant physiological function of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) under high glucose (HG) environment. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the pathological processes of DOP. We aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of miRNA in DOP. BMSCs were cultured in osteogenic medium with HG to induce osteogenic differentiation, and the interaction between miR-493-5p and ZEB2 was assessed by luciferase assay. Herein, we found miR-493-5p is gradually reduced during osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs. HG treatment inhibits osteogenic differentiation and induces an up-regulation of miR-493-5p leading to reduced level of its downstream target ZEB2. Inhibition of miR-493-5p attenuates HG-induced osteogenic differentiation defects by upregulation of ZEB2. Mechanistically, miR-493-5p/ZEB2 signalling mediates HG-inhibited osteogenic differentiation by inactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling. More importantly, knockdown of miR-493-5p therapeutically alleviated the DOP condition in mice. HG prevents BMSCs osteogenic differentiation via up-regulation of miR-493-5p, which results in reduced level of ZEB2 by directly targeting its 3'-untranslated region of mRNA. Thus, miR-493-5p/ZEB2 is a potential therapeutic target and provides novel strategy for the treatment and management of DOP.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) is an endogenous regulatory small molecule RNA. Growing evidence shows that miRNA plays an important regulatory role in gene expression. Although miRNA is a more intensive regulatory noncoding RNA in recent years, few studies have investigated the regulation of targeting genes involved in bone repair. Meanwhile, as a negative bone regulator, previous studies showed that casein kinase 2-interacting protein 1 (CKIP-1) is closely associated with bone formation and regeneration. However, the gene knockout method may not be suitable for clinical application. Therefore, it was hypothesized that miRNA molecules can inhibit the expression of CKIP-1 and ultimately promote the osteogenesis process. The present study revealed that let-7i-5p plays an important role in the process of fracture healing by inhibiting the expression of CKIP-1. Related research provides a novel gene target for fracture healing.

Bone marrow stromal cells stimulated by strontium-substituted calcium silicate ceramics: release of exosomal miR-146a regulates osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Acta Biomater 2021; 119:444-457.

Abstract
Dual-functional regulation for angiogenesis and osteogenesis is crucial for desired bone regeneration especially in large-sized bone defects. Exosomes have been demonstrated to facilitate bone regeneration through enhanced osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Moreover, functional stimulation to mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) was reported to further boost the pro-angiogenic ability of exosomes secreted. However, whether the stimulation by bioactive trace elements of biomaterials could enhance pro-angiogenic capability of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs)-derived exosomes and consequently promote in vivo vascularized bone regeneration has not been investigated. In this study, strontium-substituted calcium silicate (Sr-CS) was chosen and the biological function of BMSCs-derived exosomes after Sr-CS stimulation (Sr-CS-Exo) was systemically investigated. The results showed that Sr-CS-Exo could significantly promote in vitro angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), which might be attributed to elevated pro-angiogenic miR-146a cargos and inhibition of Smad4 and NF2 proteins. Moreover, the in vivo study confirmed that Sr-CS-Exo possessed superior pro-angiogenic ability, which contributed to the accelerated developmental vascularization in zebrafish along with the neovascularization and bone regeneration in rat distal femur defects. Our findings may provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying Sr-containing biomaterials-induced angiogenesis, and for the first time, proposed that Sr-CS-Exo may serve as the candidate engineered-exosomes with dual-functional regulation for angiogenesis and osteogenesis in vascularized bone regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effects and mechanism of miR-21 on the osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of mouse BMSCs. METHODS The bilateral ovaries of C57BL/6J mice (n=24) were removed to construct an osteoporosis model. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-21, osteogenic/adipogenic genes, and PTEN. ALP and ARS and ORO staining were used to detect the formation of calcium nodules and lipid droplets in BMSCs. Western blot was used to detect the expression of PTEN. RESULTS miR-21 was significantly down-regulated in osteoporotic mice. The expression of miR-21 was significantly up-regulated after the osteogenic induction of BMSCs, and the expression of miR-21 was significantly down-regulated after the adipogenic induction. Overexpression of miR-21 significantly promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and inhibits the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. CONCLUSION MiR-21 can promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and inhibit their adipogenic differentiation by negatively regulating PTEN.

Abstract
The clinical need for effective osteoporotic fracture therapy and prevention remains urgent. The occurrence and healing of osteoporotic fracture are closely associated with the continuous processes of bone modeling, remodeling, and regeneration. Accumulating evidence has indicated a prominent role of exosomes in mediating multiple pathophysiological processes, which are essential for information and materials exchange and exerting pleiotropic effects on neighboring or distant bone-related cells. Therefore, the exosomes are considered as important candidates both in the occurrence and healing of osteoporotic fracture by accelerating or suppressing related processes. In this review, we collectively focused on recent findings on the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of exosomes in osteoporotic fracture by regulating osteoblastogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and angiogenesis, providing us with novel therapeutic strategies for osteoporotic fracture in clinical practice.

Aging of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells: Hematopoiesis Disturbances and Potential Role in the Development of Hematologic Cancers. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 13:cancers13010068.

Abstract
Simple Summary As for many other cancers, the risk of developing hematologic malignancies increases considerably as people age. In recent years, a growing number of studies have highlighted the influence of the aging microenvironment on hematopoiesis and tumor progression. Mesenchymal stromal cells are a major player in intercellular communication inside the bone marrow microenvironment involved in hematopoiesis support. With aging, their functions may be altered, leading to hematopoiesis disturbances which can lead to hematologic cancers. A good understanding of the mechanisms involved in mesenchymal stem cell aging and the consequences on hematopoiesis and tumor progression is therefore necessary for a better comprehension of hematologic malignancies and for the development of therapeutic approaches. Abstract Aging of bone marrow is a complex process that is involved in the development of many diseases, including hematologic cancers. The results obtained in this field of research, year after year, underline the important role of cross-talk between hematopoietic stem cells and their close environment. In bone marrow, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a major player in cell-to-cell communication, presenting a wide range of functionalities, sometimes opposite, depending on the environmental conditions. Although these cells are actively studied for their therapeutic properties, their role in tumor progression remains unclear. One of the reasons for this is that the aging of MSCs has a direct impact on their behavior and on hematopoiesis. In addition, tumor progression is accompanied by dynamic remodeling of the bone marrow niche that may interfere with MSC functions. The present review presents the main features of MSC senescence in bone marrow and their implications in hematologic cancer progression.

Abstract
Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are two age-related diseases that affect the quality of life in the elderly. Initially, they were thought to be two independent diseases; however, recently, increasing basic and clinical data suggest that skeletal muscle and bone are both spatially and metabolically connected. The term “osteosarcopenia” is used to define a condition of synergy of low bone mineral density with muscle atrophy and hypofunction. Bone and muscle cells secrete several factors, such as cytokines, myokines, and osteokines, into the circulation to influence the biological and pathological activities in local and distant organs and cells. Recent studies reveal that extracellular vesicles containing microRNAs derived from senescent skeletal muscle and bone cells can also be transported and aid in regulating bone-muscle crosstalk. In this review, we summarize the age-related changes in the secretome and extracellular vesicle-microRNAs secreted by the muscle and bone, and discuss their interactions between muscle and bone cells during aging.

Overexpression of long non-coding RNA00355 enhances proliferation, chemotaxis, and metastasis in colon cancer via promoting GTF2B-mediated ITGA2. Transl Oncol 2020; 14:100947. [PMID: 33227664 PMCID: PMC7689553 DOI: 10.1016/j.tranon.2020.100947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2020] [Revised: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
LncRNA LINC00355 promotes colon cancer malignancy. LncRNA LINC00355 positively regulates ITGA2 via recruiting GTF2B. LncRNA LINC00355 positively regulates GTF2B-mediated ITGA2 to promote colon cancer. This study proposes a novel targeted strategy for cancer treatment.
Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) can regulate physiological and pathological functions, exhibiting a wide range of roles in cell biology. Moreover, many lncRNAs are dysregulated in various cancers, including colon cancer. In this study, we investigated the role of the lncRNA LINC00355 in colon cancer, after first establishing its interaction with GTF2B, and ITGA2 on the LncMap database. The predicted relationships between the lncRNA LINC00355, GTF2B, and ITGA2 were identified using luciferase reporter assay, RIP, and ChIP experiments. Western blot analysis and RT-qPCR were applied to determine expression pattern of lncRNA LINC00355 and ITGA2 in colon cancer cells. Additionally, EdU, TUNEL, Cell-adhesion and Transwell assay was used for the detection of the effects of this axis on proliferation, apoptosis, adhesion, chemotaxis and metastasis. LncRNA LINC00355 targeted IGFBP2 through the recruitment of GTF2B. LncRNA LINC00355 was highly expressed in colon cancer cells, and overexpression of lncRNA LINC00355 increased the expression of IGFBP2 and GTF2B, and thereby promoted the proliferation, chemotaxis, invasion, and migration in colon cancer. In summary, downregulation of lncRNA LINC00355 in colon cancer inhibited tumor growth in colon cancer through effects on the GTF2B/IGFBP2 axis.

MicroRNA-15b shuttled by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles binds to WWP1 and promotes osteogenic differentiation. Arthritis Res Ther 2020; 22:269. [PMID: 33198785 PMCID: PMC7667798 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-020-02316-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2020] [Accepted: 09/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Osteogenic differentiation is an essential process for bone regeneration involving bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). BMSC-secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) enriched with microRNAs (miRs) have vital roles to play in mediating osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect of BMSC-derived EVs loaded with miR-15b on osteogenic differentiation. Methods Human BMSCs (hBMSCs) were cultured and treated with plasmids overexpressing or knocking down KLF2, WWP1, and miR-15b to define the role of derived EVs in osteogenic differentiation in vitro. The expression of osteogenic differentiation-related marker was measured by Western blot analysis. The interaction among miR-15b, WWP1, and ubiquitination of KLF2 was investigated by dual-luciferase reporter, immunoprecipitation, and GST pull-down assays. Moreover, EVs from hBMSCs transfected with miR-15b inhibitor (EV-miR-15b inhibitor) were injected into ovariectomized rats to verify the effect of miR-15b on bone loss in vivo. Results WWP1 was downregulated, and KLF2 was upregulated during osteogenic differentiation. After co-culture with EVs, miR-15b expression was elevated and WWP1 expression was reduced in hBMSCs. Upregulation of miR-15b or KLF2 or downregulation of WWP1 or NF-κB increased ALP activity and cell mineralization, as well as osteogenic differentiation-related marker expression in hBMSCs. Mechanistically, miR-15b targeted and inhibited WWP1, thus attenuating KLF2 degradation and inhibiting NF-κB activity. Co-culture of EVs increased the bone volume and trabecular number, but decreased bone loss in ovariectomized rats, which could be reversed after treatment with EV-miR-15b inhibitor. Conclusion Collectively, BMSC-derived EVs loaded with miR-15b promoted osteogenic differentiation by impairing WWP1-mediated KLF2 ubiquitination and inactivating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes promote plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 expression in vascular cells in the local microenvironment during rabbit osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:480. [PMID: 33176873 PMCID: PMC7656701 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-01991-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (NONFH) is a highly disabling orthopedic disease in young individuals. Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) has been reported to be positively associated with NONFH. We aimed to investigate the dysregulating PAI-1 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and vascular cells in rabbit steroid-induced NONFH. Methods To verify the hypothesis that BMMSCs could promote thrombus formation in a paracrine manner, we collected exosomes from glucocorticoid-treated BMMSCs (GB-Exo) to determine their regulatory effects on vascular cells. microRNA sequencing was conducted to find potential regulators in GB-Exo. Utilizing gain-of-function and knockdown approaches, we testified the regulatory effect of microRNA in exosomes. Results The expression of PAI-1 was significantly increased in the local microenvironment of the femoral head in the ONFH model. GB-Exo promoted PAI-1 expression in vascular smooth muscle cells and vascular endothelial cells. We also revealed that miR-451-5p in GB-Exo plays a crucial role for the elevated PAI-1. Moreover, we identified miR-133b-3p and tested its role as a potential inhibitor of PAI-1. Conclusions This study provided considerable evidence for BMMSC exosomal miR-mediated upregulation of the fibrinolytic regulator PAI-1 in vascular cells. The disruption of coagulation and low fibrinolysis in the femoral head will eventually lead to a disturbance in the microcirculation of NONFH. We believe that our findings could be of great significance for guiding clinical trials in the future.

Abstract
SATB2 (special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2) is a member of the special AT-rich binding protein family. As a transcription regulator, SATB2 mainly integrates higher-order chromatin organization. SATB2 expression appears to be tissue- and stage-specific, and is governed by several cellular signaling molecules and mediators. Expressed in branchial arches and osteoblast-lineage cells, SATB2 plays a significant role in craniofacial pattern and skeleton development. In addition to regulating osteogenic differentiation, SATB2 also displays versatile functions in neural development and cancer progression. As an osteoinductive factor, SATB2 holds great promise in improving bone regeneration toward bone defect repair. In this review, we have summarized our current understanding of the physiological and pathological functions of SATB2 in craniofacial and skeleton development, neurogenesis, tumorigenesis and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Several studies have confirmed the involvement of cancer stem cells (CSC) in tumour progression, metastasis, drug resistance and cancer relapse. SATB2 (special AT-rich binding protein-2) acts as a transcriptional co-factor and modulates chromatin architecture to regulate gene expression. The purpose of this review was to discuss the pathophysiological roles of SATB2 and assess whether it could be used as a therapeutic target for cancer. SATB2 modulated the expression of those genes which regulated pluripotency and self-renewal. Overexpression of SATB2 gene in normal epithelial cells was shown to induce transformation, as a result transformed cells gained CSC's characteristics by expressing stem cell markers and pluripotency maintaining factors, suggesting its role as an oncogene. In addition, SATB2 induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis. Interestingly, the expression of SATB2 was positively correlated with the activation of β-catenin/TCF-LEF pathway. Furthermore, SATB2 silencing inhibited EMT and their positive regulators, and tumour growth, and suppressed the expression of stem cell markers, pluripotency maintaining factors, cell cycle and cell survival genes, and TCF/LEF targets. Based on the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) expression data and published papers, SATB2 alone or in combination with other proteins could be used a diagnostic biomarker for cancer. Although there is no pharmacological inhibitor of SATB2, studies using genetic approaches suggest that SATB2 could be a potential target for cancer treatment and prevention.

Abstract
Background The differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into adipogenesis (AD) rather than osteogenesis (OS) is an important pathological feature of osteoporosis. Illuminating the detailed mechanisms of the differentiation of BMSCs into OS and AD would contribute to the interpretation of osteoporosis pathology. Methods To identify the regulated mechanism in lineage commitment of the BMSCs into OS and AD in the early stages, the gene expression profiles with temporal series were downloaded to reveal the distinct fates when BMSCs adopt a committed lineage. For both OS and AD lineages, the profiles of days 2–4 were compared with day 0 to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), respectively. Next, the functional enrichment analysis was utilized to find out the biological function, and protein-protein interaction network to predict the central genes. Finally, experiments were performed to verify our finding. Results FoxO signaling pathway with central genes like FoxO3, IL6, and CAT is the crucial mechanism of OS, while Rap1 signaling pathway of VEGFA and FGF2 enrichment is more significant for AD. Besides, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway might serve as the latent mechanism about the initiation of differentiation of BMSCs into multiple lineages. Conclusion Above hub genes and early-responder signaling pathways control osteogenic and adipogenic fates of BMSCs, which maybe mechanistic models clarifying the changes of bone metabolism in the clinical progress of osteoporosis. The findings provide a crucial reference for the prevention and therapy of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), present in cell culture media and several body fluids, play a prominent role in intercellular communication under physiological and pathological conditions. We performed a systematic literature search to review evidence regarding the existence, composition, and release of different EVs, as well as the biomarkers, cargos, and separation methods. We also reviewed the potential of EVs to transport cargos and alter the function and phenotype of recipient cells associated with aging and reproductive diseases, including polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis. In aging, EVs promote inflammatory reactions and offsetting the occurrence of aging. In the polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis, EVs and their cargos are involved in the occurrence of diseases, therapeutic strategies, and perform as non-invasive biomarkers. As the study of EVs is still in the early stages, it is not surprising that most of the current literature only describes their possible roles.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a reliable source for cell-based regenerative medicine owing to their multipotency and biological functions. However, aging-induced systemic homeostasis disorders in vivo and cell culture passaging in vitro induce a functional decline of MSCs, switching MSCs to a senescent status with impaired self-renewal capacity and biased differentiation tendency. MSC functional decline accounts for the pathogenesis of many diseases and, more importantly, limits the large-scale applications of MSCs in regenerative medicine. Growing evidence implies that epigenetic mechanisms are a critical regulator of the differentiation programs for cell fate and are subject to changes during aging. Thus, we here review epigenetic dysregulations that contribute to MSC aging and osteoporosis. Comprehending detailed epigenetic mechanisms could provide us with a novel horizon for dissecting MSC-related pathogenesis and further optimizing MSC-mediated regenerative therapies.

Abstract
Bone metabolism is an intricate process involving various bone cells, signaling pathways, cytokines, hormones, growth factors, etc., and the slightest deviation can result in various bone disorders including osteoporosis, arthropathy, and avascular necrosis of femoral head. Osteoporosis is one of the most prevalent disorders affecting the skeleton, which is characterized by low bone mass and bone mineral density caused by the disruption in the balanced process of bone formation and bone resorption. The current pharmaceutical treatments such as bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulator, calcitonin, teriparatide, etc., could decrease the risk of fractures but have side-effects that have limited their long term applications. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are one of many non-coding RNAs. These are single-stranded with a length of 19–25 nucleotides and can influence various cellular processes and play an important role in various diseases. Therefore, in this article, we review the different functions of different miRNA in bone metabolism and osteoporosis to understand their mechanism of action for the development of possible therapeutics.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSCs) are key players in regenerative medicine, relying principally on their differentiation/regeneration potential, immunomodulatory properties, paracrine effects, and potent homing ability with minimal if any ethical concerns. Even though multiple preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated remarkable properties for MSCs, the clinical applicability of MSC-based therapies is still questionable. Several challenges exist that critically hinder a successful clinical translation of MSC-based therapies, including but not limited to heterogeneity of their populations, variability in their quality and quantity, donor-related factors, discrepancies in protocols for isolation, in vitro expansion and premodification, and variability in methods of cell delivery, dosing, and cell homing. Alterations of MSC viability, proliferation, properties, and/or function are also affected by various drugs and chemicals. Moreover, significant safety concerns exist due to possible teratogenic/neoplastic potential and transmission of infectious diseases. Through the current review, we aim to highlight the major challenges facing MSCs' human clinical translation and shed light on the undergoing strategies to overcome them.

Abstract
There is mounting evidence in the literature that mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (MSC) like populations derived from different tissues, undergo epigenetic changes during aging, leading to compromised connective tissue integrity and function. This body of work has linked the biological aging of MSC to changes in their epigenetic signatures affecting growth, lifespan, self-renewal and multi-potential, due to deregulation of processes such as cellular senescence, oxidative stress, DNA damage, telomere shortening and DNA damage. This review addresses recent findings examining DNA methylation, histone modifications and miRNA changes in aging MSC populations. Moreover, we explore how epigenetic factors alter cellular pathways and associated biological networks, contributing to the MSC aging phenotype. Finally we discuss the crucial areas requiring a greater understanding of these processes, in order to piece together a global picture of the changing epigenetic landscape in MSC during aging.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are multipotential stem cells. Osteoporosis is an age-related disorder characterized by increased marrow fat accumulation and declined bone formation. Aging is an important initial factor of bone mass loss. So, manipulating the senescence of BMSCs is a considerable therapeutic target for osteoporosis treatment. To investigate the role of senolytics on regulating the differential fate of senescent BMSCs. Rat BMSCs were isolated and identified by immunofluorescence and multilineage differentiation assay. Quercetin was used to clean senescent BMSCs. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony formation assay was used to evaluate the cellular proliferation. While the cellular migration was detected by the scratch wound healing assay and transwell assay. And the osteogenesis assay and adipogenesis assay were used to determine the differential fate of BMSCs. BMSCs exhibited stemness. Eliminating senescent BMSCs improved the proliferation of BMSCs. But the quercetin treatment made no difference in cellular migration. And the osteogenic potential was increased while the adipogenic potential was decreased when the senescent BMSCs were cleaned by quercetin treatment. Our results demonstrate that cleaning senescent BMSCs improves the proliferation and osteogenesis of BMSCs as well as inhibits the adipogenesis of BMSCs, which provides a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) exhibit the capacity to self-renew and differentiate into multi-lineage cell types, including osteoblasts, which are crucial regulators of fracture healing. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effect of microRNA (miR)-22-3p from BMSC-derived EVs on osteogenic differentiation and its underlying mechanism. METHODS Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were isolated from BMSCs and taken up with BMSCs. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the binding relationship between miR-22-3p and FTO. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments were performed to determine the roles of EV-delivered miR-22-3p and FTO in osteogenic differentiation as well as their regulatory role in the MYC/PI3K/AKT axis. To determine the osteogenic differentiation, ALP and ARS stainings were conducted, and the levels of RUNX2, OCN, and OPN level were determined. In vivo experiment was conducted to determine the function of EV-delivered miR-22-3p and FTO in osteogenic differentiation, followed by ALP and ARS staining. RESULTS miR-22-3p expression was repressed, while FTO expression was elevated in the ovariectomized mouse model. Overexpression of miR-22-3p, EV-delivered miR-22-3p, increased ALP activity and matrix mineralization of BMSCs and promoted RUNX2, OCN, and OPN expressions in BMSCs. miR-22-3p negatively targeted FTO expression. FTO silencing rescued the suppressed osteogenic differentiation by EV-delivered miR-22-3p inhibitor. FTO repression inactivated the MYC/PI3K/AKT pathway, thereby enhancing osteogenic differentiation both in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSION In summary, miR-22-3p delivered by BMSC-derived EVs could result in the inhibition of the MYC/PI3K/AKT pathway, thereby promoting osteogenic differentiation via FTO repression.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is a complex and constant process, which is maintained by well-regulated communication among various cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small vesicles, which could provide a protective environment for the transportation of various functional molecules. It has been shown that EVs could dock with distant and/or neighboring target cells, deliver cargoes to these specific cells and alter their fates. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), single-stranded non-coding RNAs with 22-26 nucleotides, could bind to mRNAs and repress the translation or stimulate the degradation of mRNAs. It is reported that EVs could serve as the mail carriers, which could cargo miRNAs to exchange information between different cells and act through a novel way to regulate signaling pathways during bone remodeling. In this review, we summarize the function of EV-miRNAs in the communication among mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, and myoblasts during bone remodeling, as well as the key signaling molecules which are involved in this process. The roles of EV-miRNAs in sending intercellular messages in the microenvironment of bone remodeling could shed new light on the development of tissue engineering, and provide novel diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets of bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Aging impairs the functions of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), thereby severely reducing their beneficial effects on myocardial infarction (MI). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating the senescence of MSCs; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated the significance of miR‐155‐5p in regulating MSC senescence and whether inhibition of miR‐155‐5p could rejuvenate aged MSCs (AMSCs) to enhance their therapeutic efficacy for MI. Young MSCs (YMSCs) and AMSCs were isolated from young and aged donors, respectively. The cellular senescence of MSCs was evaluated by senescence‐associated β‐galactosidase (SA‐β‐gal) staining. Compared with YMSCs, AMSCs exhibited increased cellular senescence as evidenced by increased SA‐β‐gal activity and decreased proliferative capacity and paracrine effects. The expression of miR‐155‐5p was much higher in both serum and MSCs from aged donors than young donors. Upregulation of miR‐155‐5p in YMSCs led to increased cellular senescence, whereas downregulation of miR‐155‐5p decreased AMSC senescence. Mechanistically, miR‐155‐5p inhibited mitochondrial fission and increased mitochondrial fusion in MSCs via the AMPK signaling pathway, thereby resulting in cellular senescence by repressing the expression of Cab39. These effects were partially reversed by treatment with AMPK activator or mitofusin2‐specific siRNA (Mfn2‐siRNA). By enhancing angiogenesis and promoting cell survival, transplantation of anti‐miR‐155‐5p‐AMSCs led to improved cardiac function in an aged mouse model of MI compared with transplantation of AMSCs. In summary, our study shows that miR‐155‐5p mediates MSC senescence by regulating the Cab39/AMPK signaling pathway and miR‐155‐5p is a novel target to rejuvenate AMSCs and enhance their cardioprotective effects.

Abstract
:
Exosomes, which mediate cell-to-cell communications and provide a novel insight into information
exchange, have drawn increasing attention in recent years. The homeostasis of bone metabolism is critical for
bone health. The most common bone diseases such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and bone fractures have apparent
correlations with exosomes. Accumulating evidence has suggested the potential regenerative capacities of
stem cell-derived exosomes. In this review, we summarise the pathophysiological mechanism, clinical picture and
therapeutic effects of exosomes in bone metabolism. We introduce the advantages and challenges in the application
of exosomes. Although the exact mechanisms remain unclear, miRNAs seem to play major roles in the
exosome.

Abstract
Background Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) often occurs in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after radiotherapy, and the prognosis of patients with RILI is usually poor. This work plan to investigate the expression patterns of microRNA-21(miR-21) in NSCLC patients with RILI and the protective effects of miR-21 over-expressed bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) against RILI in rat model. Methods MiR-21 expressions were determined in both serum samples and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from NSCLC patients after radiation therapy. The correlation between miR-21 expression and the follow-up clinical characterizations were determined. Further, miR-21 over-expressed BMSCs were transplanted into RILI rats and the protective effects were evaluated. BMSCs and alveolar macrophages (AMs) were co-cultured in vitro and the macrophage M1 polarization markers were determined by ELISA and qRT-PCR assays. Results Expression of miR-21 was significantly increased in NSCLC patients with RILI compared with control group, especially before or at 4 weeks after radiation therapy commenced. The miR-21 levels were highly correlated with IL-12, TNF-α, and IL-6 expressions and the severity of RILI. Animal based experiments demonstrated that BMSCs treatment had a remarkable effect on alleviating alveolitis in RILI rats, and miR-21 over-expression could enhance this effect significantly. Cell based experiments demonstrated that BMSCs notably inhibited M1 polarization of AMs and this inhibition is in a miR-21 dependent manner. Conclusions These results indicated that BMSCs could blocked the proinflammatory pathway of macrophage through miR-21 over-expression, thus could be a potential therapeutic strategy for RILI.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as promising novel modulators during osteogenesis in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Enhanced SATB2 has been demonstrated to promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in patients with osteonecrosis. Preliminary bioinformatic analysis identified putative binding sites between microRNA-34c (miR-34c) and metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) or miR-34c and SATB2 3’UTR. Thus, the current study aimed to clarify the potential functional relevance of MALAT1-containing exosomes from BMSCs in osteoporosis. The extracted exosomes from primary BMSCs were co-cultured with human osteoblasts (hFOB1.19), followed by evaluation of the hFOB1.19 cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralized nodules. The obtained findings indicated that BMSC-Exos promoted the expression of SATB2 in osteoblasts, and SATB2 silencing reduced the ALP activity of osteoblasts and mineralized nodules. MALAT1 acted as a sponge of miR-34c to promote the expression of SATB2. Additionally, BMSCs-derived exosomal MALAT1 promoted osteoblast activity. Moreover, in vivo experiments indicated that miR-34c reversed the effect of MALAT1, and SATB2 reversed the effect of miR-34c in ovariectomized mice. Taken together, this study demonstrates that BMSCs-derived exosomal MALAT1 enhances osteoblast activity in osteoporotic mice by mediating the miR-34c/SATB2 axis.

Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20205141. [PMID: 31627291 PMCID: PMC6829322 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20205141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2019] [Revised: 10/08/2019] [Accepted: 10/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Glucocorticoid excess escalates osteoclastic resorption, accelerating bone mass loss and microarchitecture damage, which ramps up osteoporosis development. MicroRNA-29a (miR-29a) regulates osteoblast and chondrocyte function; however, the action of miR-29a to osteoclastic activity in the glucocorticoid-induced osteoporotic bone remains elusive. In this study, we showed that transgenic mice overexpressing an miR-29a precursor driven by phosphoglycerate kinase exhibited a minor response to glucocorticoid-mediated bone mineral density loss, cortical bone porosity and overproduction of serum resorption markers C-teleopeptide of type I collagen and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b levels. miR-29a overexpression compromised trabecular bone erosion and excessive osteoclast number histopathology in glucocorticoid-treated skeletal tissue. Ex vivo, the glucocorticoid-provoked osteoblast formation and osteoclastogenic markers (NFATc1, MMP9, V-ATPase, carbonic anhydrase II and cathepsin K) along with F-actin ring development and pit formation of primary bone-marrow macrophages were downregulated in miR-29a transgenic mice. Mechanistically, tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 13b (TNFSF13b) participated in the glucocorticoid-induced osteoclast formation. miR-29a decreased the suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) enrichment in the TNFSF13b promoter and downregulated the cytokine production. In vitro, forced miR-29a expression and SOCS2 knockdown attenuated the glucocorticoid-induced TNFSF13b expression in osteoblasts. miR-29a wards off glucocorticoid-mediated excessive bone resorption by repressing the TNFSF13b modulation of osteoclastic activity. This study sheds new light onto the immune-regulatory actions of miR-29a protection against glucocorticoid-mediated osteoporosis.

Abstract
Age-associated musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) have been historically overlooked by mainstream biopharmaceutical researchers. However, it has now been recognized that stem and progenitor cells confer innate healing capacity for the musculoskeletal system. Current evidence indicates that exosomes are particularly important in this process as they can mediate sequential and reciprocal interactions between cells to initiate and enhance healing. The present review focuses on stem cells (SCs) derived exosomes as a regenerative therapy for treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. We discuss mechanisms involving exosome-mediated transfer of RNAs and how these have been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo to affect signal transduction pathways in target cells. We envision that standardized protocols for stem cell culture as well as for the isolation and characterization of exosomes enable GMP-compliant large-scale production of SCs-derived exosomes. Hence, potential new treatment for age-related degenerative diseases can be seen in the horizon.

Abstract
Biological phenotypes of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are regulated by a series of biochemical elements, including microRNAs, hormones and growth factors. Our previous study illustrated a significant role of miR-141-3p during the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs). Nevertheless, the functions of miR-141-3p in regulating the proliferative ability and senescence of SCAPs have not been determined. This study identified that overexpression of miR-141-3p inhibited the proliferative ability of SCAPs. Meanwhile, the senescence of SCAPs was ahead of time. Conversely, transfection of miR-141-3p inhibitor promoted the proliferative ability of SCAPs and delayed their senescence. Yes-associated protein (YAP) was predicted as the downstream target gene of miR-141-3p by online softwares (miRDB, miRTarBase, miRWalk, and TargetScan), and was further verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Additionally, knockdown of YAP inhibited the proliferation and accelerated the senescence of SCAPs. Collectively, these findings proposed a novel direction that miR-141-3p impeded proliferative ability and promoted senescence of SCAPs through post-transcriptionally downregulating YAP.

Abstract
Bone remodeling represents a physiological phenomenon of continuous bone tissue renewal that requires fine orchestration of multiple cell types, which is critical for the understanding of bone disease but not yet clarified in precise detail. Exosomes, which are cell-secreted nanovesicles drawing increasing attention for their broad biosignaling functions, can shed new light on how multiple heterogeneous cells communicate for the purpose of bone remodeling. In the healthy bone, exosomes transmit signals favoring both bone synthesis and resorption, regulating the differentiation, recruitment, and activity of most cell types involved in bone remodeling and even assuming an active role in extracellular matrix mineralization. Additionally, in the ailing bone, they actively participate in pathogenic processes constituting also potential therapeutic agents and drug vectors. The present review summarizes the current knowledge on bone exosomes and bone remodeling in health and disease.

Abstract
Nonunion with bone defects, a common complication after long bone fracture, is a major challenge for orthopaedic surgeons worldwide because of the high incidence rate and difficulties in achieving successful treatment. Bone defects are the main complications of nonunion. The conventional biological treatments for nonunion with bone defects involve the use of autologous bone grafts or bone graft substitutes and cell-based therapy. Traditional nonunion treatments have always been associated with safety issues and various other complications. Bone grafts have limited autologous cancellous bone and there is a risk of infection. Additionally, problems with bone graft substitutes, including rejection and stimulation of bone formation, have been noted, and the health of the stem cell niche is a major consideration in cell-based therapy. In recent years, researchers have found that exosomes can be used to deliver functional RNA and mediate cell-to-cell communication, suggesting that exosomes may repair bone defects by regulating cells and cytokines involved in bone metabolism. In this review, we highlight the possible relationships between risk factors for nonunion and exosomes. Additionally, we discuss the roles of exosomes in bone metabolism and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Senile osteoporosis is closely related to the loss of function of stem cells. In this study, we tried to investigate the potential of secretome from human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in recovering stem cell ability from senescence and then delaying bone loss. We first harvested bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from young and old rats and then compared their cellular characteristics such as cell growth, anti-senescence and differentiation. The results showed that these abilities were negatively affected by animal aging. Subsequently, aged BMSCs were exposed to secretome from hUCMSCs, and we found that this loss of cell potential can be modified by secretome treatment. Thereafter, the secretome was loaded into silk fibroin-based hydrogels and used for an in vivo animal study. The results showed that compared to the old untreated group, the bone formation capacity of aged rats was improved by local treatment of secretome-loaded silk fibroin hydrogels. In conclusion, these findings demonstrated that secretome from hUCMSCs has the capacity to recover stem cell potential and delay local bone loss in age-related osteoporosis, which could potentially be applied in osteoporosis therapy in the future.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a lethal malignancy with relatively few effective therapies. Recent investigations have highlighted the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as crucial regulators in various tumor processes including tumor progression. Hence the current study aimed to investigate the role of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)-derived exosomal microRNA-126-3p (miR-126-3p) in pancreatic cancer. Initially, miRNA candidates and related genes associated with pancreatic cancer were screened. PANC-1 cells were transfected with miR-126-3p or silenced a disintegrin and a metalloproteinase-9 (ADAM9) to examine their regulatory roles in pancreatic cancer cells. Additionally, exosomes derived from BMSCs were isolated and co-cultured with pancreatic cancer cells to elucidate the effects of exosomes in pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, the effects of overexpressed miR-126-3p derived from BMSCs exosomes on proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis, tumor growth, and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cells were analyzed in connection with lentiviral packaged miR-126-3p in vivo. Restored miR-126-3p was observed to suppress pancreatic cancer through downregulating ADAM9. Notably, overexpressed miR-126-3p derived from BMSCs exosomes inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cells, and promoted their apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, the key findings of the study indicated that overexpressed miR-126-3p derived from BMSCs exosomes inhibited the development of pancreatic cancer through the downregulation of ADAM9, highlighting the potential of miR-126-3p as a novel biomarker for pancreatic cancer treatment.

Abstract
Throughout human life, bone is constantly in a delicate dynamic equilibrium of synthesis and resorption, hosting finely-tuned bone mineral metabolic processes for bone homeostasis by collaboration or symphony among several cell types including osteoclasts (OCs), osteoblasts (OBs), osteocytes (OYs), vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and their precursors. Beyond these connections, a substantial level of communication seems to occur between bone and other tissues, and together, they form an organic unit linked to human health and disease. However, the current hypothesis, which includes growth factors, hormones and specific protein secretion, incompletely explains the close connections among bone cells or between bone and other tissues. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are widely-distributed membrane structures consisting of lipid bilayers, membrane proteins and intravesicular cargo (including proteins and nucleic acids), ranging from 30 nm to 1000 nm in diameter, and their characters have been highly conserved throughout evolution. EVs have targeting abilities and the potential to transmit multidimensional, abundant and complicated information, as powerful and substantial "dogrobbers" mediating intercellular communications. As research has progressed, EVs have gradually become thought of as "dogrobbers" in bone tissue-the "eternal battle field" -in a delicate dynamic balance of destruction and reconstruction. In the current review, we give a brief description of the major constituent cells in bone tissues and explore the progress of current research on bone-derived EVs. In addition, this review also discusses in depth not only potential directions for future research to breakthrough in this area but also problems existing in current research that need to be solved for a better understanding of bone tissues.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a detrimental side effect of the long-term administration of bisphosphonates. Although macrophages were reported to be an important mediator of BRONJ, the detailed potential mechanism of BRONJ remains unclear. Here, we reported an elevated TLR-4 expression in macrophages under action of zoledronic acid (ZA), resulting in enhanced M1 macrophage polarization and decreased M2 macrophage polarization both in vitro and in vivo. After inhibiting the TLR-4 signaling pathway, the activation of the TLR-4/NF-κB signaling pathway and the induction of NF-κB nuclear translocation and production of proinflammatory cytokines by ZA were suppressed in macrophages, thereby inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization. By utilizing the TLR-4-/- mice, development of BRONJ was markedly ameliorated, and M1 macrophages were significantly attenuated in the extraction socket tissues in the TLR-4-/- mice. Importantly, the systemic administration of the TLR-4 inhibitor TAK-242 improved the wound healing of the extraction socket and decreased the incidence rate of BRONJ. Taken together, our findings suggest that TLR-4-mediated macrophage polarization participates in the pathogenesis of BRONJ in mice, and TLR-4 may be a potential target for the prevention and therapeutic treatment of BRONJ.-Zhu, W., Xu, R., Du, J., Fu, Y., Li, S., Zhang, P., Liu, L., Jiang, H.

Abstract
Emerging evidence demonstrates that microRNAs, as important endogenous posttranscriptional regulators, are essential for bone remodeling and regeneration. Undoubtedly, microRNA-based gene therapies show great potential to become novel approaches against bone-related diseases, including osteoporosis and associated fractures. The major obstacles for continued advancement of microRNA-based therapies in clinical application include their poor in vivo stability, nonspecific biodistribution, and unwanted side effects. Appropriate chemical modifications and delivery vectors, which improve the biological performance and potency of microRNA-based drugs, hold the key to translating miRNA technologies into clinical practice. Thus, this review summarizes the current attempts and existing deficiencies of chemical modifications and delivery systems applied in microRNA-based therapies for osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures to inform further explorations.

J Cell Biochem 2018; 120:9472-9486. [PMID: 30506733 DOI: 10.1002/jcb.28223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2018] [Accepted: 11/15/2018] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) in humans is an autosomal-dominant skeletal dysplasia caused by heterozygous mutations of the runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and significantly increases the risk of osteoporosis. Increasing evidence demonstrates that the dysfunction of bone marrow stromal cells from CCD patients (BMSCs-CCD) contributes to the bone deficiency, but the characteristics of BMSCs-CCD and the mechanisms that underlie their properties remain undefined. METHODS The clinical manifestations of three CCD patients were collected and the mutations of RUNX2 were analyzed. The properties of proliferation, osteogenesis, stemness, and senescence of BMSCs-CCD were compared with that of BMSCs from healthy donors. The expression of microRNA-31 ( miR-31) between BMSCs-CCD and BMSCs was measured and lentivirus-carried miR-31 inhibitor was used to determine the role of miR-31 in BMSCs-CCD both in vitro and in vivo. The molecular mechanisms underlying RUNX2-miR31 and miR-31 targeting stemness and senescence of BMSCs-CCD were also explored. RESULTS We identified two mutation sites of RUNX2 via exome sequencing from 2 of 3 Chinese CCD patients with typical clinical presentations. Compared with BMSCs from healthy donors, BMSCs-CCD displayed significantly attenuated proliferation, osteogenesis and stemness, and enhanced senescence. Meanwhile, miR-31 knockdown could ameliorate these deficiency phenotypes of BMSCs-CCD by regulating SATB2, BMI1, CDKN, and SP7. Mechanistically, RUNX2 directly repressed miR-31 expression, and therefore RUNX2 haploinsufficiency in CCD leading to miR-31 upregulation contributed to the deficiency of BMSCs-CCD. miR-31 inhibition in BMSCs-CCD showed enhanced osteogenesis through heterotopic subcutaneous implantation in the nude mice. CONCLUSIONS Our results show the functional deficiencies of BMSCs-CCD and a potential role of miR-31 in BMSCs-CCD deficiencies. The application of miR-31 inhibitor in BMSCs-CCD might lend hope for developing BMSC-based therapeutic approaches against CCD-associated skeletal diseases.

Aging Cell 2018; 17:e12794. [PMID: 29896785 PMCID: PMC6052401 DOI: 10.1111/acel.12794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 143] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2017] [Accepted: 05/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The alteration of age‐related molecules in the bone marrow microenvironment is one of the driving forces in osteoporosis. These molecules inhibit bone formation and promote bone resorption by regulating osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity, contributing to age‐related bone loss. Here, we observed that the level of microRNA‐31a‐5p (miR‐31a‐5p) was significantly increased in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) from aged rats, and these BMSCs demonstrated increased adipogenesis and aging phenotypes as well as decreased osteogenesis and stemness. We used the gain‐of‐function and knockdown approach to delineate the roles of miR‐31a‐5p in osteogenic differentiation by assessing the decrease of special AT‐rich sequence‐binding protein 2 (SATB2) levels and the aging of BMSCs by regulating the decline of E2F2 and recruiting senescence‐associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF). Notably, expression of miR‐31a‐5p, which promotes osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption, was markedly higher in BMSCs‐derived exosomes from aged rats compared to those from young rats, and suppression of exosomal miR‐31a‐5p inhibited the differentiation and function of osteoclasts, as shown by elevated RhoA activity. Moreover, using antagomiR‐31a‐5p, we observed that, in the bone marrow microenvironment, inhibition of miR‐31a‐5p prevented bone loss and decreased the osteoclastic activity of aged rats. Collectively, our results reveal that miR‐31a‐5p acts as a key modulator in the age‐related bone marrow microenvironment by influencing osteoblastic and osteoclastic differentiation and that it may be a potential therapeutic target for age‐related osteoporosis.
