Abstract
During the aging process, the reduced osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) results in decreased bone formation, which contributes to senile osteoporosis. Previous studies have confirmed that interrupted circadian rhythm plays an indispensable role in age-related disease. However, the mechanism underlying the impaired osteogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs during aging and its relationship with interrupted circadian rhythm remains unclear. In this study, we confirmed that the circadian rhythm was interrupted in aging mouse skeletal systems. The level of the core rhythm component BMAL1 but not that of CLOCK in the osteoblast lineage was decreased in senile osteoporotic specimens from both human and mouse. BMAL1 targeted TTK as a circadian-controlled gene to phosphorylate MDM2 and regulate H2Bub1 level, while H2Bub1 in turn regulated the expression of BMAL1. The osteogenic capacity of BM-MSCs was maintained by a positive loop formed by BMAL1-TTK-MDM2-H2Bub1. Furthermore, we demonstrated that using bone-targeting recombinant adeno-associated virus 9 (rAAV9) to enhance Bmal1 or Ttk might have a therapeutic effect on senile osteoporosis and delays bone repair in aging mice. In summary, our study indicated that targeting the BMAL1-TTK-MDM2-H2Bub1 axis via bone-targeting rAAV9 might be a promising strategy for the treatment of senile osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background Osteoblastoma is quite rare in the oromaxillo-facial region, while the mandible is always the predilection. However, in our case, the lesion was located in the left temporal articular tubercle, involving the adjacent skull base, which is extremely rare in the literature. Case reports It had been diagnosed as the most common temporomandibular joint disorder in the local hospital before the patient came to our department, mainly due to the primary symptom, that was, the patient got pain in the left temporomandibular joint area while opening the mouth. However, we found a mass of bone lesions at the left temporal articular tubercle in MRI and cone beam CT, and it turned out to be an osteoblastoma after surgery. The patient's primary symptom disappeared after recovering from the surgery, and there have been no indications of complication or recurrence up to now. Conclusion Osteoblastoma is very rare in the temporomandibular joint region. It could easily miss the possibility of a benign tumor due to its unusual location and confusing chief complaint in this case. Our report provides experience in the identification of osteoblastoma in rare sites.

Abstract
Bone fragility is an adverse outcome of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The underlying molecular mechanisms have, however, remained largely unknown. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that control gene expression in health and disease states. The aim of this study was to investigate the genome-wide regulation of miRNAs in T2DM bone disease by analyzing serum and bone tissue samples from a well-established rat model of T2DM, the Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) model. We performed small RNA-sequencing analysis to detect dysregulated miRNAs in the serum and ulna bone of the ZDF model under placebo and also under anti-sclerostin, PTH, and insulin treatments. The dysregulated circulating miRNAs were investigated for their cell-type enrichment to identify putative donor cells and were used to construct gene target networks. Our results show that unique sets of miRNAs are dysregulated in the serum (n = 12, FDR < 0.2) and bone tissue (n = 34, FDR < 0.2) of ZDF rats. Insulin treatment was found to induce a strong dysregulation of circulating miRNAs which are mainly involved in metabolism, thereby restoring seven circulating miRNAs in the ZDF model to normal levels. The effects of anti-sclerostin treatment on serum miRNA levels were weaker, but affected miRNAs were shown to be enriched in bone tissue. PTH treatment did not produce any effect on circulating or bone miRNAs in the ZDF rats. Altogether, this study provides the first comprehensive insights into the dysregulation of bone and serum miRNAs in the context of T2DM and the effect of insulin, PTH, and anti-sclerostin treatments on circulating miRNAs.

Abstract
Dentin is a major mineralized component of teeth. Odontoblasts are responsible for synthesis and secretion of dentin matrix. Previously, it has been demonstrated in a cell culture system that the E3 ubiquitin ligase, murine double minute 2 (Mdm2), promotes odontoblast-like differentiation of mouse dental papilla cells (mDPCs) by ubiquitinating p53 and the odontoblast-specific substrate Dlx3. However, whether Mdm2 plays an essential role in vivo in odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the in vivo functions of Mdm2 using Dmp1-Cre;Mdm2 flox/flox mice combined with multiple histological and molecular biological methods. The results showed that Mdm2 deletion in the odontoblast layer led to defects in odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation. Unexpectedly, specific inhibition of the Mdm2-p53 axis in wild-type mice by injection of a small-molecule inhibitor Nutlin-3a indicated that the role of Mdm2 in dentinogenesis was p53 independent, which was inconsistent with the previous in vitro study. In situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) showed that Mdm2 interacted with and ubiquitinated Dlx3 in the odontoblast nucleus of mouse molars. Dlx3 promoted the translocation of Mdm2 to the nucleus, and in turn, the nuclear Mdm2 mediated ubiquitination of Dlx3 and promoted the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs. Dlx3 interacted with Mdm2 through its C-terminal domain. Deletion of the C-terminal domain of Dlx3 reversed the enhanced odontoblast-like differentiation and the activation of Dspp promoter mediated by overexpression of wild-type or nuclear Mdm2. Our findings suggest that nuclear Mdm2 mediates ubiquitination of the transcription factor Dlx3, which is essential for Dlx3 transcriptional activity on Dspp as well as subsequent odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation.

Abstract
Moringa oleifera is a medicinally important plant that has various medical and nutritional uses. Plant miRNAs are a class of non-coding endogenous small RNAs that regulate human-specific mRNA but the mechanistic actions are largely unknown. Here, in this study, we aim to explore the mechanistic action and influence of M. oleifera seed miRNAs on vital human target genes using computer based approaches. The M. oleifera seed miRNAs sequence was taken from published data and identified its human gene targets using a psRNA target analysis server. We identified 94 miRNAs that are able to significantly regulate 47 human target genes, which has enormous biological and functional importance. Out of 47 human targeted genes, 23 genes were found to be associated with PI3K-AKT, RUNX, and MAPK1/MAPK3 signaling pathway which has shown to play key roles in bone metastases during cancer progression. The M. oleifera seed miRNAs hold a strong potential for future research that might uncover the possibility of miRNA-facilitated cross-kingdom regulation and therapeutic targets for bone metastases.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), the most common form of lung cancer, is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. We perform whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on samples from 43 primary patients with NSCLC and matched normal samples and analyze their matched open chromatin data and transcriptome data. Our results indicate that next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the Bionano Genomics (BNG) platform should be viewed as complementary technologies in terms of structural variations detection. By creating a framework integrating these two platforms, we detect high-technical-confidence somatic structural variations (SVs) in NSCLC cases, which could aid in the efficient investigation of new candidate oncogenes, such as TRIO and SESTD1. Our findings highlight the impact of somatic SVs on NSCLC oncogenesis and lay a foundation for exploring associations among somatic SVs, gene expression, and regulatory networks in patients with NSCLC.
