Abstract
The methylation of adenosine base at the nitrogen-6 position is referred to as "N6-methyladenosine (m6A)" and is one of the most prevalent epigenetic modifications in eukaryotic mRNA and noncoding RNA (ncRNA). Various m6A complex components known as "writers," "erasers," and "readers" are involved in the function of m6A. Numerous studies have demonstrated that m6A plays a crucial role in facilitating communication between different cell types, hence influencing the progression of diverse physiological and pathological phenomena. In recent years, a multitude of functions and molecular pathways linked to m6A have been identified in the osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Nevertheless, a comprehensive summary of these findings has yet to be provided. In this review, we primarily examined the m6A alteration of transcripts associated with transcription factors (TFs), as well as other crucial genes and pathways that are involved in the differentiation of BMSCs. Meanwhile, the mutual interactive network between m6A modification, miRNAs, and lncRNAs was intensively elucidated. In the last section, given the beneficial effect of m6A modification in osteogenesis and chondrogenesis of BMSCs, we expounded upon the potential utility of m6A-related therapeutic interventions in the identification and management of human musculoskeletal disorders manifesting bone and cartilage destruction, such as osteoporosis, osteomyelitis, osteoarthritis, and bone defect.

Aucubin Promotes Osteogenic Differentiation and Facilitates Bone Formation through the lncRNA-H19 Driven Wnt/ β-Catenin Signaling Regulatory Axis. Stem Cells Int 2024; 2024:5388064. [PMID: 38633381 PMCID: PMC11022505 DOI: 10.1155/2024/5388064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives Traditional Chinese medicine Cortex Eucommiae has been used to treat bone fracture for hundreds of years, which exerts a significant improvement in fracture healing. Aucubin, a derivative isolated from Cortex Eucommiae, has been demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, and antioxidative potential. In the present study, our aim was to explore its function in bone regeneration and elucidate the underlying mechanism. Materials and Methods The effects of Aucubin on osteoblast and osteoclast were examined in mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and RAW 264.7 cells, respectively. Moreover, the lncRNA H19 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling were detected by qPCR examination, western blotting, and luciferase activity assays. Using the femur fracture mice model, the in vivo effect of Aucubin on bone formation was monitored by X-ray, micro-CT, histomorphometry, and immunohistochemistry staining. Results In the present study, Aucubin was found to significantly promote osteogenic differentiation in vitro and stimulated bone formation in vivo. Regarding to the underlying mechanism, H19 was found to be obviously upregulated by Aucubin in MSCs and thus induced the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Moreover, H19 knockdown partially reversed the Aucubin-induced osteogenic differentiation and successfully suppressed the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. We therefore suggested that Aucubin induced the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling through promoting H19 expression. Conclusion Our results demonstrated that Aucubin promoted osteogenesis in vitro and facilitated fracture healing in vivo through the H19-Wnt/β-catenin regulatory axis.

Abstract
The term "fracture" pertains to the occurrence of bones being either fully or partially disrupted as a result of external forces. Prolonged fracture healing can present a notable danger to the patient's general health and overall quality of life. The significance of osteoblasts in the process of new bone formation is widely recognized, and optimizing their function could be a desirable strategy. Therefore, the mending of bone fractures is intricately linked to the processes of osteogenic differentiation and mineralization. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are RNA molecules that do not encode for proteins, but rather modulate the functioning of physiological processes by directly targeting proteins. The participation of microRNAs (miRNAs) in experimental investigations has been extensive, and their control functions have earned them the recognition as primary regulators of the human genome. Earlier studies have shown that modulating the expression of miRNAs, either by increasing or decreasing their levels, can initiate the differentiation of osteoblasts. This implies that miRNAs play a pivotal function in promoting osteogenesis, facilitating bone mineralization and formation, ultimately leading to an efficient healing of fractures. Hence, focusing on miRNAs can be considered a propitious therapeutic approach to accelerate the healing of fractures and forestall nonunion. In this manner, the information supplied by this investigation has the potential to aid in upcoming clinical utilization, including its possible use as biomarkers or as resources for devising innovative therapeutic tactics aimed at promoting fracture healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study identified potentially pivotal miRNAs contributing to chondrogenic differentiation in temporomandibular joint suffering abnormal stress. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control and experimental unilateral mastication (EUM) group. Bone micro-structure parameters was detected by micro-CT, and FGF-1 and MMP-1 expression was examined by immunohistochemistry. Differentially expressed miRNAs of bilateral condyle cartilage were screened via miRNA microarray at 4- and 8-week EUM, then further verified using quantitative reverse-transcription PCR. Over-expression of five differentially expressed miRNAs in chondrocytes was triggered by transfecting miRNA mimics. The expression of MMP-13, Col-II, OPN, and Runx2 was verified by western blotting. RESULTS Expressions of FGF-1 and MMP-1 in right condyles gradually increased from 2 to 6 weeks after EUM. A total of 20 differentially expressed miRNAs were regulated by EUM, which related to cell proliferation, invasion, and osteoblast differentiation pathways. The over-expression of miR-148a-3p and miR-1-3p led to down-regulation of Col-II, while MMP-13 and Runx2 were up-regulated by induction of hypotrophic differentiation or IL-1β stimulation. These findings suggested that miR-148a-3p and miR-1-3p promote chondrogenic differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Several pivotal miRNAs were found to be related to chondrogenic differentiation, which provides novel insight into pathogenic mechanisms of cartilage homeostasis.

Abstract
Osteogenic differentiation is essential for bone development and metabolism, but the underlying gene regulatory networks have not been well investigated. We differentiated mesenchymal stem cells, derived from 20 human induced pluripotent stem cell lines, into preosteoblasts and osteoblasts, and performed systematic RNA-seq analyses of 60 samples for differential gene expression. We noted a highly significant correlation in expression patterns and genomic proximity among transcription factor (TF) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) genes. We identified TF-TF regulatory networks, regulatory roles of lncRNAs on their neighboring coding genes for TFs and splicing factors, and differential splicing of TF, lncRNA, and splicing factor genes. TF-TF regulatory and gene co-expression network analyses suggested an inhibitory role of TF KLF16 in osteogenic differentiation. We demonstrate that in vitro overexpression of human KLF16 inhibits osteogenic differentiation and mineralization, and in vivo Klf16+/- mice exhibit increased bone mineral density, trabecular number, and cortical bone area. Thus, our model system highlights the regulatory complexity of osteogenic differentiation and identifies novel osteogenic genes.

BMC Cancer 2024; 24:4. [PMID: 38166752 PMCID: PMC10763168 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11743-z] [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: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 has gained significant recognition as a pivotal contributor to the initiation and advancement of gynecologic cancers, encompassing ovarian, endometrial, cervical, and breast cancers. H19 exhibits a complex array of mechanisms, demonstrating dualistic effects on tumorigenesis as it can function as both an oncogene and a tumor suppressor, contingent upon the specific context and type of cancer being investigated. In ovarian cancer, H19 promotes tumor growth, metastasis, and chemoresistance through modulation of key signaling pathways and interaction with microRNAs. Conversely, in endometrial cancer, H19 acts as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Additionally, H19 has been implicated in cervical and breast cancers, where it influences cell proliferation, invasion, and immune evasion. Moreover, H19 has potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for gynecologic cancers, with its expression levels correlating with clinical parameters and patient outcomes. Understanding the functional roles of H19 in gynecologic cancers is crucial for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies and personalized treatment approaches. Further investigation into the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying H19's involvement in gynecologic malignancies is warranted to fully unravel its therapeutic potential and clinical implications. This review aims to elucidate the functional roles of H19 in various gynecologic malignancies.

Abstract
Smoking continues to be a leading cause of preventable disease and death worldwide. Nicotine dependence generates a lifelong propensity towards cravings and relapse, presenting an ongoing challenge for the development of treatments. Accumulating evidence supports a role for epigenetics in the development and maintenance of addiction to many drugs of abuse, however, the involvement of epigenetics in nicotine dependence is less clear. Here we review evidence that nicotine interacts with epigenetic mechanisms to enable the maintenance of nicotine-seeking across time. Research across species suggests that nicotine increases permissive histone acetylation, decreases repressive histone methylation, and modulates levels of DNA methylation and noncoding RNA expression throughout the brain. These changes are linked to the promoter regions of genes critical for learning and memory, reward processing and addiction. Pharmacological manipulation of enzymes that catalyze core epigenetic modifications regulate nicotine reward and associative learning, demonstrating a functional role of epigenetic modifications in nicotine dependence. These findings are consistent with nicotine promoting an overall permissive chromatin state at genes important for learning, memory and reward. By exploring these links through next-generation sequencing technologies, epigenetics provides a promising avenue for future interventions to treat nicotine dependence.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, a prevalent bone disorder influenced by genetic and environmental elements, significantly increases the likelihood of fractures and bone weakness, greatly affecting the lives of those afflicted. Yet, the exact epigenetic processes behind the onset of osteoporosis are still unclear. Growing research indicates that epigenetic changes could act as vital mediators that connect genetic tendencies and environmental influences, thereby increasing the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Within these epigenetic factors, certain types of RNA, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been recognized as key regulatory elements. These RNA types wield significant influence on gene expression through epigenetic regulation, directing various biological functions essential to bone metabolism. This extensive review compiles current research uncovering the complex ways in which miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs are involved in the development of osteoporosis, especially in osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Gaining a more profound understanding of the roles these three RNA classes play in osteoporosis could reveal new diagnostic methods and treatment approaches for this incapacitating condition. In conclusion, this review delves into the complex domain of epigenetic regulation via non-coding RNA in osteoporosis. It sheds light on the complex interactions and mechanisms involving miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs within osteoblasts and osteoclasts, offering an in-depth understanding of the less explored aspects of osteoporosis pathogenesis. These insights not only reveal the complexity of the disease but also offer significant potential for developing new diagnostic methods and targeted treatments. Therefore, this review marks a crucial step in deciphering the elusive complexities of osteoporosis, leading towards improved patient care and enhanced quality of life.

The novel RNA-RNA activation of H19 on MyoD transcripts promoting myogenic differentiation of goat muscle satellite cells. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127341. [PMID: 37852400 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127341] [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: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023]
Abstract
The elaborate interplay of coding and noncoding factors governs muscle growth and development. Here, we reported a mutual activation between long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 and MyoD (myogenic determination gene number 1) in the muscle process. We successfully cloned the two isoforms of goat H19, which were significantly enriched and positively correlated with MyoD transcripts in skeletal muscles or differentiating muscle satellite cells (MuSCs). To systematically screen genes altered by H19, we performed RNA-seq using cDNA libraries of differentiating H19-deficiency MuSCs and consequently anchored MyoD as the critical genes in mediating H19 function. Intriguingly, some transcripts of MyoD and H19 overlapped in the cytoplasm, which was dramatically damaged when the core complementary nucleotides were mutated. Meanwhile, MyoD RNA successfully pulled down H19 in MS2-RIP experiments. Furthermore, HuR could bind both H19 and MyoD transcripts, while H19 or its truncated mutants successfully stabilized MyoD mRNA, with or without HuR deficiency. In turn, novel functional MyoD protein-binding sites were identified in the promoter and exons of the H19 gene. Our results suggest that MyoD activates H19 transcriptionally, and RNA-RNA hybridization is critical for H19-promoted MyoD expression, which extends our knowledge of the hierarchy of regulatory networks in muscle growth.

Kong J, Tian C, Zhu L. Effect of different types of Tai Chi exercise programs on the rate of change in bone mineral density in middle-aged adults at risk of osteoporosis: a randomized controlled trial. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:949. [PMID: 38072989 PMCID: PMC10712169 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04324-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate three Tai Chi (TC) exercise programs as intervention measures to compare their effects on improving rate of change in bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly individuals with osteoporosis (OP) and to propose the optimal exercise duration. METHODS A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to identify study participants based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Due to subject attrition, the number of participants analyzed decreased from 60 to 49. These participants were divided into four groups: 24-style TC Chuan group (24TCCG) (n = 13, 7 males/6 females), TC Kung Fu Fan group (TCKFFG) (n = 12, 5 males/7 females), TC Softball group (TCSBG) (n = 11, 6 males/5 females), and a control group (CG) (n = 13, 6 males/7 females). Except for the control group, each group received different TC exercise programs four times a week for 60 min per session, lasting for 16 weeks. BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the L2-L4 lumbar vertebrae, Ward's triangle, femoral neck, and greater trochanter. The rate of change of BMD was calculated using the formula. RESULTS Compared with CG, all three TC groups showed significant improvements in BMD changes (P < 0.05), but their effects on the improvement of femoral neck and greater tuberosity BMD change rates were similar (P > 0.05). In addition, compared to the other exercise regimens, 24TCCG demonstrated more significant improvements in BMD at the L2-L4 lumbar vertebrae region and exhibited a more pronounced improvement in Ward's triangle BMD after only 8 weeks (P < 0.05). Short-term (≤ 4 weeks) TCKFFG was more effective than TCSBG in enhancing femoral neck BMD (P < 0.05). However, statistical significance was not found (P > 0.05) in all other cases. CONCLUSION These three TC exercise programs have similar positive effects on the BMD of the femoral neck and greater trochanter. However, compared with other exercise schemes, 24TCC showed a more significant improvement in BMD of the L2-L4 lumbar vertebrae region after just 8 weeks, as well as a more pronounced improvement in BMD of Ward's triangle. In terms of improving femoral neck BMD, TCKFF was found to be more effective than TCSB in less than 4 weeks. This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of TC exercise in improving BMD and preventing OP in the middle-aged and elderly high-risk population.

Abstract
The ability to differentiate into cells of different lineages, such as bone cells, is the principal value of adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can be used with the final aim of regenerating damaged tissue. Due to its potential use and importance in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, several questions have been raised regarding the molecular mechanisms of MSC differentiation. As one of the crucial mediators in organism development, the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily directs MSCs' commitment to selecting differentiation pathways. This review aims to give an overview of the current knowledge on the mechanisms of the TGF-β superfamily in MSCs bone differentiation, with additional insight into the mutual regulation of microRNAs and TGF-β in osteogenesis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (mesenchymal stromal cells, MSC) are multipotent stem cells that can differentiate into cells of at least three mesodermal lineages, namely adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes, and have potent immunomodulatory properties. Epigenetic modifications are critical regulators of gene expression and cellular differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Epigenetic machinery controls MSC differentiation through direct modifications to DNA and histones. Understanding the role of epigenetic machinery in MSC is crucial for the development of effective cell-based therapies for degenerative and inflammatory diseases. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the role of epigenetic control of MSC differentiation and immunomodulatory properties.

Abstract
Osteoblasts, cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the bone marrow, are cells responsible for bone formation and remodeling. The differentiation of osteoblasts from MSCs is triggered by the expression of specific genes, which are subsequently controlled by pro-osteogenic pathways. Mature osteoblasts then differentiate into osteocytes and are embedded in the bone matrix. Dysregulation of osteoblast function can cause inadequate bone formation, which leads to the development of bone disease. Various key molecules are involved in the regulation of osteoblastogenesis, which are transcription factors. Previous studies have heavily examined the role of factors that control gene expression during osteoblastogenesis, both in vitro and in vivo. However, the systematic relationship of these transcription factors remains unknown. The involvement of ncRNAs in this mechanism, particularly miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, has been shown to influence transcriptional factor activity in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Here, we discuss nine essential transcription factors involved in osteoblast differentiation, including Runx2, Osx, Dlx5, β-catenin, ATF4, Ihh, Satb2, and Shn3. In addition, we summarize the role of ncRNAs and their relationship to these essential transcription factors in order to improve our understanding of the transcriptional regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Adequate exploration and understanding of the molecular mechanisms of osteoblastogenesis can be a critical strategy in the development of therapies for bone-related diseases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Stimulation of cementogenesis is essential to cementum regeneration and root restoration. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the regulatory networks of periodontal regeneration processes. We identified and analysed differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs associated with cementogenic differentiation of cementoblasts. MATERIALS AND METHODS OCCM-30 immortalized mouse cementoblast cells were induced in cementogenic medium for 7 and 14 days. Total RNA was extracted and subjected to RNA sequencing to screen for differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to determine the expression levels of RNAs. Gene Ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were used to clarify the potential functions of differentially expressed genes in biological processes and pathways. lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks were constructed based on correlation and algorithmic analyses. RESULTS In all, 461 lncRNAs, 89 miRNAs and 2157 mRNAs showed differential expression in OCCM-30 cells after cementoblast differentiation. At day 7, upregulation of 248 lncRNAs, 30 miRNAs and 905 mRNAs was observed, along with downregulation of 127 lncRNAs, 34 miRNAs and 960 mRNAs. At day 14, 197 lncRNAs, 13 miRNAs and 847 mRNAs were upregulated, while 74 lncRNAs, 12 miRNAs and 760 mRNAs were downregulated. The results of qRT-PCR showed that four candidate lncRNAs, H19, Gdap10, Foxo6os and Ipw, were significantly upregulated after 7 and 14 days of cementogenic induction. The lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network illustrated a possible competitive endogenous RNA regulatory mechanism. GO analysis showed that consistently differentially expressed mRNAs were involved in blood vessel morphogenesis, cell-substrate adhesion, cell adhesion, ossification and extracellular matrix organization. KEGG analysis indicated that extracellular matrix-receptor interaction, focal adhesion, and the PI3K-Akt, Rap1, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and Ras signalling pathways varied significantly during cementogenesis. CONCLUSION The expressions of lncRNA, miRNA and mRNA were significantly altered in cementoblasts after cementogenesis. This study highlighted the effect of lncRNAs in the process of cementogenesis and revealed their potential for the discovery of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cementum regeneration.

Abstract
It is now widely recognized that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess the capacity to differentiate into a wide array of cell types. Numerous studies have identified the role of lncRNA in the regulation of MSC differentiation. It is important to elucidate the role and interplay of microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the regulation of signalling pathways that govern MSC function. Furthermore, miRNAs and lncRNAs are important clinical for innovative strategies aimed at addressing a wide spectrum of existing and emerging disease. Hence it is important to consider their impact on MSC function and differentiation. Examining the data available in public databases, we have collected the literature containing the latest discoveries pertaining to human stem cells and their potential in both fundamental research and clinical applications. Furthermore, we have compiled completed clinical studies that revolve around the application of MSCs, shedding light on the opportunities presented by harnessing the regulatory potential of miRNAs and lncRNAs. This exploration of the therapeutic possibilities offered by miRNAs and lncRNAs within MSCs unveils exciting prospects for the development of precision therapies and personalized treatment approaches. Ultimately, these advancements promise to augment the efficacy of regenerative strategies and produce positive outcomes for patients. As research in this field continues to evolve, it is imperative to explore and exploit the vast potential of miRNAs and lncRNAs as therapeutic agents. The findings provide a solid basis for ongoing investigations, fuelling the quest to fully unlock the regenerative potential of MSCs.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is one of the most common hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. It is a dangerous condition with a high mortality rate in mothers and fetuses and is associated with a lack of early diagnosis and effective treatment. While the etiology of the disease is complex and obscure, it is now clear that the placenta is central to disease progression. Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) are possible mediators that regulate placenta-related physiological and pathological processes. Placental mesenchymal stem cells have considerable potential to help us understand the pathogenesis and treatment of pregnancy-related diseases. Here, we investigate the exosomal miRNA profiles of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells between healthy pregnant women and those with PE. We performed small RNA sequencing to obtain miRNA profiles, and conducted enrichment analysis of the miRNA target genes to identify differentially expressed miRNAs associated with PE. Overall, we detected 1795 miRNAs; among them, 206 were differentially expressed in women with PE, including 35 upregulated and 171 downregulated miRNAs, when compared with healthy pregnant women. Moreover, we identified possible functions and pathways associated with PE, including angiogenesis, cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and the coagulation-fibrinolysis balance. Eventually, we proposed hsa-miR-675-5p, hsa-miR-3614-5p, and hsa-miR-615-5p as potential regulators of the pathogenesis of PE, and constructed a miRNA-target gene network. Our study identifies possible candidate biomarkers for the diagnosis of PE, and introduces a new direction for further understanding the pathogenesis of PE.

Abstract
Recent advances in deep sequencing technologies have revealed that, while less than 2% of the human genome is transcribed into mRNA for protein synthesis, over 80% of the genome is transcribed, leading to the production of large amounts of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). It has been shown that ncRNAs, especially long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), may play crucial regulatory roles in gene expression. As one of the first isolated and reported lncRNAs, H19 has gained much attention due to its essential roles in regulating many physiological and/or pathological processes including embryogenesis, development, tumorigenesis, osteogenesis, and metabolism. Mechanistically, H19 mediates diverse regulatory functions by serving as competing endogenous RNAs (CeRNAs), Igf2/H19 imprinted tandem gene, modular scaffold, cooperating with H19 antisense, and acting directly with other mRNAs or lncRNAs. Here, we summarized the current understanding of H19 in embryogenesis and development, cancer development and progression, mesenchymal stem cell lineage-specific differentiation, and metabolic diseases. We discussed the potential regulatory mechanisms underlying H19's functions in those processes although more in-depth studies are warranted to delineate the exact molecular, cellular, epigenetic, and genomic regulatory mechanisms underlying the physiological and pathological roles of H19. Ultimately, these lines of investigation may lead to the development of novel therapeutics for human diseases by exploiting H19 functions.

Abstract
In recent years, research on human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) derived from human umbilical cord tissue has accelerated and entered clinical application research. Compared with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from other sources, hUCMSCs can be extracted from different parts of umbilical cord or from the whole umbilical cord. It has the characteristics of less ethical controversy, high differentiation potential, strong proliferation ability, efficient expansion in vitro, avoiding immune rejection and immune privilege, and avoids the limitations of lack of embryonic stem cells, heterogeneity, ethical and moral constraints. hUCMSCs avoid the need for embryonic stem cell sources, heterogeneity, and ethical and moral constraints. Bone defects are very common in clinical practice, but completely effective bone tissue regeneration treatment is challenging. Currently, autologous bone transplantation and allogeneic bone transplantation are main treatment approaches in clinical work, but each has different shortcomings, such as limited sources, invasiveness, immune rejection and insufficient osteogenic ability. Therefore, to solve the bottleneck of bone tissue regeneration and repair, a great amount of research has been carried out to explore the clinical advantages of hUCMSCs as seed cells to promote osteogenesis.However, the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of hUCMSCs is an extremely complex process. Although a large number of studies have demonstrated that the role of hUCMSCs in enhancing local bone regeneration and repair through osteogenic differentiation and transplantation into the body involves multiple signaling pathways, there is no relevant article that summarize the findings. This article discusses the osteogenesis-related regulatory mechanisms of hUCMSCs, summarizes the currently known related mechanisms, and speculates on the possible signals.

Assessment of Circulating lncRNA H19 in Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients and Its Correlation with Disease Activity. J Pers Med 2023; 13:914. [PMID: 37373903 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13060914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that results in severe pain and stiffness in the joints. The causes and pathophysiology of AS are still largely unknown. The lncRNA H19 plays key roles in the pathogenesis of AS by mediating inflammatory progression by acting in the axis of IL-17A/IL-23. The aims of this study were determining the role of lncRNA H19 in AS and assessing its clinical correlation. A case-control study was conducted and qRT-PCR was utilized to measure H19 expression. Comparing AS cases to healthy controls, it was found that H19 expression was significantly upregulated. For AS prediction, H19 demonstrated a 81.1% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 90.6% diagnostic accuracy at a lncRNA H19 expression value of 1.41. lncRNA H19 had a significantly positive correlation with AS activity, MRI results, and inflammatory markers. lncRNA H19 seemed to be an independent predictor of AS (adjusted OR of 211 (95% CI: 4.7-939; p = 0.025)). After 3 months of clinical follow-up, seventeen patients (32.1%) showed minimal clinical improvement and fifteen patients (28.3%) showed major improvement. AS activity scores were significantly decreased in patients with high H19 expression. A significantly elevated lncRNA H19 expression was observed in AS cases compared with that in healthy controls. These results suggest that upregulation of lncRNA H19 expression may be involved in the pathogenesis of AS. The expression of the lncRNA H19 is related to the duration and activity of the disease. LncRNA H19 expression seems to be an independent predictor of AS.

[PMID: 36921832 PMCID: PMC10400337 DOI: 10.1016/j.mito.2023.02.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023]
Abstract
Advancing age and environmental stressors lead to mitochondrial dysfunction in the skin, inducing premature aging, impaired regeneration, and greater risk of cancer. Cells rely on the communication between the mitochondria and the nucleus by tight regulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) to avoid premature aging and maintain healthy skin. LncRNAs act as key regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and maintenance of skin structure. However, research on how the lncRNAs are dysregulated during aging and due to stressors is needed to develop therapies to regenerate skin's function and structure. In this article, we discuss how age and environmental stressors may alter lncRNA homeodynamics, compromising cell survival and skin health, and how these factors may become inducers of skin aging. We describe skin cell types and how they depend on mitochondrial function and lncRNAs. We also provide a list of mitochondria localized and nuclear lncRNAs that can serve to better understand skin aging. Using bioinformatic prediction tools, we predict possible functions of lncRNAs based on their subcellular localization. We also search for experimentally determined protein interactions and the biological processes involved. Finally, we provide therapeutic strategies based on gene editing and mitochondria transfer/transplant (AMT/T) to restore lncRNA regulation and skin health. This article offers a unique perspective in understanding and defining the therapeutic potential of mitochondria localized lncRNAs (mt-lncRNAs) and AMT/T to treat skin aging and related diseases.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) regulates the growth and development of follicles. In particular, the long non-coding RNA H19 plays an important role in mammalian reproduction. However, the function and regulatory mechanism of the interaction of BMP15 with H19 in yak granulosa cell (GC) proliferation, autophagy, and apoptosis are poorly understood. In our study, quantitative reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that H19 were highly expressed in yak healthy follicles. H19 was induced by BMP15 protein in yak GCs. In addition, we confirmed that overexpression of H19 promoted yak GC proliferation and autophagy and inhibited apoptosis. Bioinformatic analysis and luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that H19 directly binds to miR-26b, and SMAD1 was identified as a target of miR-26b. miR-26b overexpression inhibited GC proliferation and autophagy and promoted apoptosis through decreased SMAD1 expression, which was attenuated by H19 overexpression. RNA immunoprecipitation-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and dual-luciferase assays showed that miR-26b was sponged by H19 to preserve SMAD1 expression. Furthermore, SMAD1 mRNA expression was induced and miR-26b expression was reduced after yak GCs were treated with BMP15 protein. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that the H19/miR-26b/SMAD1 axis responds to BMP15 to regulate yack GC proliferation, autophagy, and apoptosis.

Post-Transcriptional Regulatory Crosstalk between MicroRNAs and Canonical TGF-β/BMP Signalling Cascades on Osteoblast Lineage: A Comprehensive Review. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24076423. [PMID: 37047394 PMCID: PMC10094338 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of small, single-stranded, and non-protein coding RNAs about 19 to 22 nucleotides in length, that have been reported to have important roles in the control of bone development. MiRNAs have a strong influence on osteoblast differentiation through stages of lineage commitment and maturation, as well as via controlling the activities of osteogenic signal transduction pathways. Generally, miRNAs may modulate cell stemness, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis by binding the 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) of the target genes, which then can subsequently undergo messenger RNA (mRNA) degradation or protein translational repression. MiRNAs manage the gene expression in osteogenic differentiation by regulating multiple signalling cascades and essential transcription factors, including the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β)/bone morphogenic protein (BMP), Wingless/Int-1(Wnt)/β-catenin, Notch, and Hedgehog signalling pathways; the Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2); and osterix (Osx). This shows that miRNAs are essential in regulating diverse osteoblast cell functions. TGF-βs and BMPs transduce signals and exert diverse functions in osteoblastogenesis, skeletal development and bone formation, bone homeostasis, and diseases. Herein, we highlighted the current state of in vitro and in vivo research describing miRNA regulation on the canonical TGF-β/BMP signalling, their effects on osteoblast linage, and understand their mechanism of action for the development of possible therapeutics. In this review, particular attention and comprehensive database searches are focused on related works published between the years 2000 to 2022, using the resources from PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Long non-coding RNA H19 regulates matrisome signature and impacts cell behavior on MSC-engineered extracellular matrices. Stem Cell Res Ther 2023; 14:37. [PMID: 36882843 PMCID: PMC9993741 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-023-03250-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/25/2022] [Indexed: 03/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The vast and promising class of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been under investigation for distinct therapeutic applications. Nevertheless, their role as molecular drivers of bone regeneration remains poorly studied. The lncRNA H19 mediates osteogenic differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) through the control of intracellular pathways. However, the effect of H19 on the extracellular matrix (ECM) components is still largely unknown. This research study was designed to decode the H19-mediated ECM regulatory network, and to reveal how the decellularized siH19-engineered matrices influence MSC proliferation and fate. This is particularly relevant for diseases in which the ECM regulation and remodeling processes are disrupted, such as osteoporosis. METHODS Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics analysis was used to identify ECM components, after oligonucleotides delivery to osteoporosis-derived hMSCs. Moreover, qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence and proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis assays were performed. Engineered matrices were decellularized, characterized by atomic force microscopy and repopulated with hMSC and pre-adipocytes. Clinical bone samples were characterized by histomorphometry analysis. RESULTS Our study provides an in-depth proteome-wide and matrisome-specific analysis of the ECM proteins controlled by the lncRNA H19. Using bone marrow-isolated MSC from patients with osteoporosis, we identified fibrillin-1 (FBN1), vitronectin (VTN) and collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1), among others, as having different pattern levels following H19 silencing. Decellularized siH19-engineered matrices are less dense and have a decreased collagen content compared with control matrices. Repopulation with naïve MSCs promotes a shift towards the adipogenic lineage in detriment of the osteogenic lineage and inhibits proliferation. In pre-adipocytes, these siH19-matrices enhance lipid droplets formation. Mechanistically, H19 is targeted by miR-29c, whose expression is decreased in osteoporotic bone clinical samples. Accordingly, miR-29c impacts MSC proliferation and collagen production, but does not influence ALP staining or mineralization, revealing that H19 silencing and miR-29c mimics have complementary but not overlapping functions. CONCLUSION Our data suggest H19 as a therapeutic target to engineer the bone ECM and to control cell behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND LncRNA STK4 antisense RNA 1 (STK4-AS1) has been identified as a potential biomarker associated with multiple cancers. We proposed that STK4-AS1 plays a role in the proliferation of osteosarcoma by regulating the cell cycle. METHODS We compared the expression of STK4-AS1, p53, and p21 in osteosarcoma vs normal samples in clinical tissues and cell lines. We determined the effect of overexpression and knockdown of STK4-AS1 in p53 expressing osteosarcoma cells U2OS, p53 muted osteosarcoma cells MG63, and osteoblast cells hFOB on p53 and p21 expression and the cell viability. For U2OS and MG63, the cell cycle was analyzed and the expression of cyclin proteins was determined. We overexpressed p53 or p21 in STK4-AS1 overexpressed cells to explore the association of STK4-AS1 and p53 in U2OS. RESULTS The STK4-AS1 expression was higher and p53 and p21 expression were lower in osteosarcoma tissue and cells than in their non-cancer counterparts. The expression of STK4-AS1 was negatively correlated with the expression of p53 or p21. Knockdown of STK4-AS1 in U2OS decreased the cell viability, increased cells in the G0/G1 phase, decreased cells in the S and G2/M phase, decreased expression of cyclin A and B, increased p53 and p21, and had no effect on cyclin D and cyclin E, while overexpression of STK4-AS1 did the opposes. Overexpression of p53 or p21 recovered some changes caused by STK4-AS1 overexpression in U2OS. MG63 expressed no p53 and the expression of p21, cyclin A, and cyclin B, cell viability, and cell cycle were not affected by altered STK4-AS1 levels. In hFOB cells, the expression of p53 and p21 was decreased and the cell viability was increased when STK4-AS1 was overexpressed, but they were not affected when STK4-AS1 was knocked down. CONCLUSION LncRNA STK4-AS1 promoted the cell cycle of osteosarcoma cells by inhibiting p53 expression.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a form of RNAs that lack coding potential. The role of such circRNAs in dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) osteo/odontogenic differentiation remains to be determined. In this study, circRNA expression profiles in DPSC osteo/odontogenic differentiation process were analyzed by RNA-seq. qRT-PCR was used to confirm the differential expression of circ_0005044, miR-296-3p, and FOSL1 in DPSC osteogenic differentiation process. Circ_0005044, miR-296-3p, and FOSL1 were knocked down or overexpressed. Osteoblastic activity and associated mineral activity were monitored via alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red S (ARS) staining. Interactions between miR-296-3p, circ_0005044, and FOSL1 were assessed through luciferase reporter assays. Finally, an in vivo system was used to confirm the relevance of circ_0005044 to osteoblastic differentiation. As results, we detected significant circ_0005044 and FOSL1 upregulation in DPSC osteo/odontogenic differentiation process, as well as concomitant miR-296-3p downregulation. When knocking down circ_0005044 or overexpressed miR-296-3p, this significantly inhibited osteogenesis. Luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-296-3p was capable of binding to conserved sequences in the wild-type forms of both the circ_0005044 and FOSL1. Furthermore, knocking down circ_0005044 in vivo significantly attenuated bone formation. Therefore, the circ_0005044/miR-2964-3p/FOSL1 axis regulates DPSC osteo/odontogenic differentiation, which may provide potential molecular targets for dental-pulp complex regeneration.

Long noncoding TSI attenuates aortic valve calcification by suppressing TGF-β1-induced osteoblastic differentiation of valve interstitial cells. Metabolism 2023; 138:155337.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is an active and cellular-driven fibrocalcific process characterised by differentiation of valve interstitial cells (VICs) towards an osteogenic-like phenotype. A recently identified lncRNA, lncTSI, has been reported to inhibit fibrogenesis through transforming growth factor (TGF)-β/Smad3 pathway. Here, the present study aimed to investigate the role of lncTSI in CAVD. METHODS The effect of TGF-β1 on lncTSI of VICs was measured. TGF-β1, RUNX2 and collagen I expression between calcified aortic valve tissue and normal samples by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Human VICs were cultured and treated with TGF-β1. SiRNA and pcDNA3.1-lncTSI plasmid transfection were used to silence and overexpress lncTSI in VICs for 48 h, Smads phosphorylation, RUNX2 and collagen I expression were then verified by western blotting. In ApoE-/- mice fed with 0.25 % high-cholesterol diet, AAV2-lncTSI were injected intravenously to observe their effect on the formation of aortic valve calcification. RESULTS lncTSI was highly expressed in VICs treated with TGF-β1. lncTSI was transcriptionally regulated by Smad3 and reversely inhibited TGF-β1-induced Smad3 phosphorylation and downregulated profibrotic gene expression. Silencing lncTSI increased TGF-β1-induced Smad3 phosphorylation, and subsequently, upregulated RUNX2 and collagen I expressions in VICs. While overexpression of lncTSI reversed the production of RUNX2 and collagen I in VICs. In a mouse CAVD model of 24 week 0.25 % high-cholesterol diet feeding, overexpression of lncTSI significantly reduced calcium deposition, RUNX2, pSmad3, and collagen I expression in aortic valve leaflets, with less aortic valve stenosis. CONCLUSIONS The novel findings of present study suggested that lncTSI alleviated aortic valve calcification through negative regulation of the TGF-β/Smad3 pathway. The results may help elucidate new diagnostic and therapeutic targets to prevent CAVD progression.

Abstract
Bone has a robust regenerative potential, but its capacity to repair critical-sized bone defects is limited. In recent years, stem cells have attracted significant interest for their potential in tissue engineering. Applying mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for enhancing bone regeneration is a promising therapeutic strategy. However, maintaining optimal cell efficacy or viability of MSCs is limited by several factors. Epigenetic modification can cause changes in gene expression levels without changing its sequence, mainly including nucleic acids methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNAs. This modification is believed to be one of the determinants of MSCs fate and differentiation. Understanding the epigenetic modification of MSCs can improve the activity and function of stem cells. This review summarizes recent advances in the epigenetic mechanisms of MSCs differentiation into osteoblast lineages. We expound that epigenetic modification of MSCs can be harnessed to treat bone defects and promote bone regeneration, providing potential therapeutic targets for bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement relies on bone remodeling and periodontal tissue regeneration in response to the complicated mechanical cues on the compressive and tensive side. In general, mechanical stimulus regulates the expression of mechano-sensitive coding and non-coding genes, which in turn affects how cells are involved in bone remodeling. Growing numbers of non-coding RNAs, particularly mechano-sensitive non-coding RNA, have been verified to be essential for the regulation of osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis and have revealed how they interact with signaling molecules to do so. This review summarizes recent findings of non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, as crucial regulators of gene expression responding to mechanical stimulation, and outlines their roles in bone deposition and resorption. We focused on multiple mechano-sensitive miRNAs such as miR-21, - 29, -34, -103, -494-3p, -1246, -138-5p, -503-5p, and -3198 that play a critical role in osteogenesis function and bone resorption. The emerging roles of force-dependent regulation of lncRNAs in bone remodeling are also discussed extensively. We summarized mechano-sensitive lncRNA XIST, H19, and MALAT1 along with other lncRNAs involved in osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. Ultimately, we look forward to the prospects of the novel application of non-coding RNAs as potential therapeutics for tooth movement and periodontal tissue regeneration.

OLMALINC/OCT4/BMP2 axis enhances osteogenic-like phenotype of renal interstitial fibroblasts to participate in Randall's plaque formation. Mol Med 2022; 28:162.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Randall's plaques (RP) are identified as anchored sites for kidney calcium oxalate stones, but the mechanism remains unclear. Given the importance of osteogenic-like cells in RP formation and OCT4 in reprogramming differentiated cells to osteoblasts, the current study explored the potential role of OCT4 in RP formation. METHODS OCT4 and biomineralization were evaluated in RP, and immunofluorescence co-staining was performed to identify these cells with alteration of OCT4 and osteogenic markers. Based on the analysis of tissue, we further investigated the mechanism of OCT4 in regulating osteogenic-like differentiation of primary human renal interstitial fibroblasts (hRIFs) in vitro and vivo. RESULTS We identified the upregulated OCT4 in RP, with a positive correlation to osteogenic markers. Interestingly, fibroblast marker Vimentin was partially co-localized with upregulated OCT4 and osteogenic markers in RP. Further investigations revealed that OCT4 significantly enhanced the osteogenic-like phenotype of hRIFs in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, OCT4 directly bound to BMP2 promoter and facilitated its CpG island demethylation to transcriptionally promote BMP2 expression. Furthermore, combination of RIP and RNA profiling uncovered that lncRNA OLMALINC physically interacted with OCT4 to promote its stabilization via disrupting the ubiquitination. Additionally, OLMALINC was upregulated in fibroblasts in RP visualized by FISH, and a positive correlation was revealed between OLMALINC and OCT4 in RP. CONCLUSIONS The upregulation of OCT4 in hRIFs was a pathological feature of RP formation, and OLMALINC/OCT4/BMP2 axis facilitated hRIFs to acquire osteogenic-like phenotype under osteogenic conditions, through which the pathway might participate in RP formation. Our findings opened up a new avenue to better understand RP formation in which osteogenic-like process was partially triggered by lncRNAs and pluripotency maintenance related genes.

Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the formation of bone in non-osseous tissues, such as skeletal muscles. The HO could have a genetic or a non-genetic (acquired) background, that is, it could be caused by musculoskeletal trauma, such as burns, fractures, joint arthroplasty (traumatic HO), or cerebral or spinal insult (neurogenetic HO). HO formation is caused by the differentiation of stem or progenitor cells induced by local or systemic imbalances. The main factors described so far in HO induction are TGFβ1, BMPs, activin A, oncostatin M, substance P, neurotrophin-3, and WNT. In addition, dysregulation of noncoding RNAs, such as microRNA or long noncoding RNA, homeostasis may play an important role in the development of HO. For example, decreased expression of miRNA-630, which is responsible for the endothelial-mesenchymal transition, was observed in HO patients. The reduced level of miRNA-421 in patients with humeral fracture was shown to be associated with overexpression of BMP2 and a higher rate of HO occurrence. Down-regulation of miRNA-203 increased the expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), a crucial regulator of osteoblast differentiation. Thus, understanding the various functions of noncoding RNAs can reveal potential targets for the prevention or treatment of HO.

Abstract
Objective To probe into the effect of LncRNA TUG1 on the healing of closed tibial fracture in mice. Methods The closed tibial fracture model of mice was established, selecting the mouse osteoblast line MC3T3-E1, with the cells separated into four groups. The expression levels of TUG1 and miR-221-3p were determined by RT-qPCR analysis, with the targeting relationship between TUG1 and miR-221-3p authenticated by dual luciferase reporter (DLR) assay, detection of cell migration (CM) ability based on Transwell cell migration (TCM) assay, and cell proliferation (CP) acquired by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Results Prediction results of the target gene by bioinformatics software showed that miR-221-3p had binding sites with the 3'-UTR of TUG1, and DLR assay authenticated the targeting relationship between LncRNA TUG1 and miR-221-3p. Downregulation of TUG1 inhibited osteoblast CP and CM and promoted osteoblast cell apoptosis (CA). Cell cycle analysis indicated that miR-221-3p provoked cell cycle arrest in G1 stage of MC3T3-E1 cells. The siLncRNA-NC group had higher anticyclin D1 and D3 levels than the siLncRNA TUG1 group, with a lower CA rate in the former, implying that miR-221-3p overexpression inhibited osteoblast CP and CM and LncRNA TUG1 inhibited CA. Downregulation of miR-221-3p partly reversed the retardation out of downregulating TUG1 on osteoblast CP and CM. Bcl-2 level was higher in the LncRNA TUG1 group compared to the siLncRNA TUG1 and miR-221-3p overexpression groups, with remarkably lower SDF-1 level in the miR-221-3p overexpression group than those in the control, miRNA-NC, and LncRNA TUG1 groups. Conclusion The downregulation of miR-221-3p by LncRNA TUG1 can promote the healing of closed tibial fractures in mice.

Circ_0099630 Participates in SPRY1-Mediated Repression in Periodontitis. Int Dent J 2022; 73:136-143.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is chronic inflammation that causes damage to periodontal tissues and cementum. It has been reported that circular RNA hsa_circ_0099630 (circ_0099630) was overexpressed in gingival samples from patients with periodontitis. However, the function of circ_0099630 on the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) in periodontitis remains unclear. METHODS Periodontal ligaments from patients with periodontitis and third molars (termed wisdom teeth) were utilised to isolate inflamed PDLCs (iPDLCs) and healthy PDLCs (hPDLCs). Expression levels of circ_0099630 in isolated PDLCs were assessed using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Effects of circ_0099630 overexpression and silencing on iPDLC viability, proliferation, and cycle progression were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), and flow cytometry assays. The osteogenic differentiation was detected by analysing the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralisation amount, and osteogenic markers osterix (OSX), ALP, and RUNX2 in iPDLCs. The regulatory mechanism of circ_0099630 was predicted by bioinformatics analysis and validated by dual-luciferase reporter, RNA immunoprecipitation, and RNA pull-down assays. RESULTS Circ_0099630 was underexpressed in iPDLCs compared to hPDLCs. Overexpression of circ_0099630 repressed iPDLC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, but circ_0099630 silencing exerted an opposing effect. Mechanically, circ_0099630 sponged miR-212-5p to block the inhibiting effect of miR-212-5p on SPRY1. Elevated expression of SPRY1 partly reversed the promoting effect of circ_0099630 knockdown on iPDLC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Circ_0099630 curbed PDLC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation through elevating SPRY1 expression via sponging miR-212-5p in periodontitis.

Abstract
Autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are more easily available and frequently used for bone regeneration in clinics. Osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs involves complex regulatory networks affecting bone formation phenomena. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) refer to RNAs that do not encode proteins, mainly including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, piwi-interacting RNAs, transfer RNA-derived small RNAs, etc. Recent in vitro and in vivo studies had revealed the regulatory role of ncRNAs in osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. NcRNAs had both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. During the physiological condition, osteo-stimulatory ncRNAs are upregulated and osteo-inhibitory ncRNAs are downregulated. The opposite effects might occur during bone degenerative disease conditions. Intracellular ncRNAs and ncRNAs from neighboring cells delivered via exosomes participate in the regulatory process of osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the regulatory role of ncRNAs on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs during physiological and pathological conditions. We also discuss the prospects of the application of modulation of ncRNAs function in BMSCs to promote bone tissue regeneration in clinics.

Long non-coding RNA H19X promotes tumorigenesis and metastasis of colorectal cancer through regulating the miR-503-5p/KANK1 axis. Genes Genomics 2022; 44:1577-1591. [PMID: 35567714 DOI: 10.1007/s13258-022-01259-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been well established that the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) plays a critical role in tumor progression. However, the function of these transcripts and mechanisms responsible for their deregulation in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain to be investigated. OBJECTIVE To explore the potential effect and regulation mechanism of lncRNA H19X in colorectal cancer. METHODS We predicted and validated long non-coding RNA H19X from microarray data of colorectal cancer tissues. In addition, the biological behaviors of H19X and miR-503-5p on CRC were examined in vitro and in vivo, including MTT, colony formation assay, Hoechst33342 and transwell assay. The mRNA and protein levels of KN Motif and Ankyrin Repeat Domains 1 (KANK1) were analyzed by Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), western blotting (WB) assay. Moreover, bioinformatics tools and dual-luciferase reporter assay were applied to demonstrate the relationship between KANK1 and miR-503-5p. RESULTS H19X was remarkably up-regulated in CRC tissues. Its expression related to tumor size (p = 0.041), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.037), distal metastasis (p = 0.028), advanced TNM stage (p = 0.034) and poor survival in CRC. H19X acted as an oncogenic lncRNA that induced CRC cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Through a number of functional studies, we found that H19X silencing inhibited the malignance phenotype of cancer cells through loss of miR-503-5p. Further studies demonstrated that miR-503-5p was involved in the progression of CRC by directly regulating the downstream target KANK1. CONCLUSION Collectively, the findings of the present study indicate H19X/miR-503-5p/KANK1 axis has critical role in the progression of colorectal cancer, providing an effective prognostic indicator and promising target in treatment of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) are attractive seed cells for dental tissue engineering. Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression patterns that do not alter DNA sequences. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are one of the main methods of epigenetic regulation and participate in cell differentiation; however, little is known regarding the role of lncRNAs during SHED odontogenic differentiation. In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to obtain the expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs during the odontogenic differentiation of SHED. The effect of IGFBP7-AS1 on odontogenic differentiation of SHED was assessed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, alizarin red S (ARS) staining, quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blot, and in vivo. The level of p38 and p-p38 protein expression was examined by Western blot, and the result was verified by adding the p38 inhibitor, SB203580. The expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs were identified by RNA-seq analysis, which help us to further understand the mechanism in odontogenesis epigenetically. IGFBP7-AS1 expression was increased during odontogenic differentiation on days 7 and 14. The ALP staining, ARS staining, and expression of odontogenic markers were upregulated by overexpressing IGFBP7-AS1 in vitro, whereas the expression of osteogenesis markers was not significantly changed on mRNA level. The effect of IGFBP7-AS1 was also verified in vivo. IGFBP7-AS1 could further positively regulate odontogenic differentiation through the p38 MAPK pathway. This may provide novel targets for dental tissue engineering.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) causes damage to major organs, including the heart, liver, brain, kidneys, eyes, and blood vessels, threatening the health of the individuals. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that lncRNAs has important functions in the pathogenesis of human diseases, such as cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiac fibroblast phenotypes, hypertension, heart failure, atherosclerosis and diabetes. Recently, H19, a lncRNA, has been reported to shown to participate in the regulatory process of muscle differentiation, glucose metabolism, and tumor metastasis, as well as endometrial development. However, the roles of H19 in DM were still not completely understood. This review was conducted to summarize the functions of H19 in diabetes and discuss the challenges and possible strategies of H19 in DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in signal pathways related to osteogenic differentiation. METHODS Relevant domestic and foreign researches in recent years were consulted. The characteristics and biological functions of lncRNA were introduced, and the specific mechanism of lncRNA regulating related signal pathways in osteogenic differentiation was elaborated. RESULTS The exertion and maintenance of normal function of bone requires the closed coordination of transcription networks and signal pathways. However, most of these signal pathways or networks are dysregulated under pathological conditions that affect bone homeostasis. lncRNA can regulate the differentiation of various bone cells by activating or inhibiting signal pathways to achieve the balance of bone homeostasis, thereby reversing the pathological state of bones and achieving the purpose of treating bone metabolic diseases. CONCLUSION At present, the research on the mechanism of lncRNA regulating various osteogenic differentiation pathways is still in the early stage. Its in-depth regulator mechanism, especially the cross-talk of complex signal pathways needs to be further studied. And how to apply these molecular targets to clinical treatment is also a big challenge.

Abstract
Background The treatment of bone loss has posed a challenge to clinicians for decades. Thus, it is of great significance to identify more effective methods for bone regeneration. However, the role and mechanisms of long non-coding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 5 (SNHG5) during osteogenic differentiation remain unclear. Methods We investigated the function of SNHG5, Yin Yang 1 (YY1), miR-212-3p and growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) in osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in vitro and in vivo. Molecular mechanisms were clarified by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and dual luciferase reporter assay. Results We found SNHG5 expression was upregulated during osteogenesis of hBMSCs. Knockdown of SNHG5 in hBMSCs inhibited osteogenic differentiation while overexpression of SNHG5 promoted osteogenesis. Moreover, YY1 transcription factor directly bound to the promoter region of SNHG5 and regulated SNHG5 expression to promote osteogenesis. Dual luciferase reporter assay confirmed that SNHG5 acted as a miR-212-3p sponge and miR-212-3p directly targeted GDF5 and further activated Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation. miR-212-3p inhibited osteogenic differentiation, while GDF5 promoted osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. In addition, calvarial defect experiments showed knockdown of SNHG5 and GDF5 inhibited new bone formation in vivo. Conclusion Our results demonstrated that the novel pathway YY1/SNHG5/miR-212-3p/GDF5/Smad regulates osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs and may serve as a potential target for the treatment of bone loss.

Abstract
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) are attractive therapeutic cells for tissue engineering to treat bone defects. However, how the cells can differentiate into bone remains unclear. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that participate in many biological processes, including stem cell differentiation. In this study, we investigated the profiles and functions of lncRNAs in the osteogenic differentiation of hUCMSCs. We identified 343 lncRNAs differentially expressed during osteogenic differentiation, of which 115 were upregulated and 228 were downregulated. We further analyzed these lncRNAs using bioinformatic analyses, including Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. GO and KEGG pathway analysis showed that ‘intracellular part’ and ‘Phosphatidylinositol signaling system’ were the most correlated molecular function and pathway, respectively. We selected the top 10 upregulated lncRNAs to construct six competing endogenous RNA networks. We validated the impact of the lncRNA H19 on osteogenic differentiation by overexpressing it in hUCMSCs. Overall, our results pave the way to detailed studies of the molecular mechanisms of hUCMSC osteogenic differentiation, and they provide a new theoretical basis to guide the therapeutic application of hUCMSCs.

Abstract
Endochondral bone formation is an important route for bone repair. Although emerging evidence has revealed the functions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in bone and cartilage development, the effect of lncRNAs in endochondral bone repair is still largely unknown. Here, we identified a lncRNA, named Hypertrophic Chondrocyte Angiogenesis-related lncRNA (HCAR), and proved it to promote the endochondral bone repair by upregulating the expression of matrix metallopeptidase 13 (Mmp13) and vascular endothelial growth factor α (Vegfa) in hypertrophic chondrocytes. Lnc-HCAR knockdown in hypertrophic chondrocytes restrained the cartilage matrix remodeling and decrease the CD31hiEmcnhi vessels number in a bone repair model. Mechanistically, we proved that lnc-HCAR was mainly enriched in the cytoplasm using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay, and it acted as a molecular sponge for miR-15b-5p. Further, in hypertrophic chondrocytes, lnc-HCAR competitively bound to miR-15b-5p to increase Vegfa and Mmp13 expression. Our results proved that lncRNA is deeply involved in endochondral bone repair, which will provide a new theoretical basis for future strategies for promoting fracture healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cementum which is a layer of thin and bone-like mineralised tissue covering tooth root surface is deposited and mineralised by cementoblasts. Recent studies suggested long noncoding RNA H19 (H19) promotes osteoblast differentiation and matrix mineralisation, however, the effect of H19 on cementoblasts remains unknown. This study aimed to clarify the regulatory effects of H19 on cementoblast differentiation, mineralisation, and proliferation. MATERIAL AND METHODS An immortalised murine cementoblast cell line OCCM-30 was used in this study. H19 expression was examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) during OCCM-30 cell differentiation. OCCM-30 cells were transfected with lentivirus or siRNA to up-regulate or down-regulate H19, then the levels of runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osterix (Sp7), alkaline phosphatase (Alpl), bone sialoprotein (Ibsp), osteocalcin (Bglap) were tested by RT-qPCR or western blot. Alizarin red staining, ALP activity assay and MTS assay were performed to determine the mineralisation and proliferation ability of OCCM-30 cells. RESULTS H19 was dramatically increased during OCCM-30 cell differentiation. Overexpression of H19 increased the levels of Runx2, Sp7, Alpl, Ibsp, and Bglap and enhanced ALP activity and the formation of mineral nodules. While down-regulation of H19 suppressed the above cementoblast differentiation genes and inhibited ALP activity and mineral nodule formation. However, the proliferation of OCCM-30 cells was not affected. CONCLUSIONS H19 promotes the differentiation and mineralisation of cementoblasts without affecting cell proliferation.

Abstract
The suppression of osteoblast (OB) activity is partially responsible for multiple myeloma (MM) bone disease. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a vital role in bone formation and resorption. However, their functions in OBs from patients with MM have rarely been reported. Through high-throughput sequencing of OBs from patients with MM and healthy controls, we identified several lncRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) with different expression profile and validated them using quantitative real-time PCR. In total, 22 upregulated and 21 downregulated lncRNAs were found in OBs from patients with MM. Moreover, 18 upregulated protein-coding mRNAs were identified. The expression levels of LINC01473 and its associated co-expression mRNA, CD74, were higher in patients with MM than in healthy controls (p=0.047 and p=0.016, respectively). LINC01473 expression demonstrated a negative correlation with serum interleukin-2 and tumor necrosis factor α levels, whereas the expression of mRNA CD74 was positively associated with serum lactic dehydrogenase in patients with MM. Aberrant expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs was observed in OBs from patients with MM. This study identifies new promising targets for further research on imbalanced bone formation and resorption and MM immune escape.

Abstract
Currently, findings support that 75% of the human genome is actively transcribed, but only 2% is translated into a protein, according to databases such as ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) [1]. The development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, computational methods for genome assembly and biological models have led to the realization of the importance of the previously unconsidered non-coding fraction of the genome. Along with this, noncoding RNAs have been shown to be epigenetic, transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators in a large number of cellular processes [2]. Within the group of non-coding RNAs, lncRNAs represent a fascinating field of study, given the functional versatility in their mode of action on their molecular targets. In recent years, there has been an interest in learning about lncRNAs in MSC differentiation. The aim of this review is to address the signaling mechanisms where lncRNAs are involved, emphasizing their role in either stimulating or inhibiting the transition to differentiated cell. Specifically, the main types of MSC differentiation are discussed: myogenesis, osteogenesis, adipogenesis and chondrogenesis. The description of increasingly new lncRNAs reinforces their role as players in the well-studied field of MSC differentiation, allowing a step towards a better understanding of their biology and their potential application in the clinic.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), as an important type of RNA encoded in the human transcriptome, have shown to regulate different genomic processes in human cells, altering cell type and function. These factors are associated with carcinogenesis, cancer metastasis, bone diseases, and immune system diseases, among other pathologies. Although many lncRNAs are involved in various diseases, the molecular mechanisms through which lncRNAs contribute to regulation of disease are still unclear. The lncRNA growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) is a key player that we initially found to be associated with regulating cell growth, differentiation, and development. Further work has shown that GAS5 is involved in the occurrence and prognosis of bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, osteosarcoma, and postosteoporotic fracture. In this review, we discuss recent progress on the roles of GAS5 in bone diseases to establish novel targets for the treatment of bone diseases.

Abstract
Tissue engineered bone brings hope to the treatment of bone defects, and the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells is the key link. Inducing osteogenic differentiation of stem cells may be a potential approach to promote bone regeneration. In recent years, lncRNA has been studied in the field increasingly, which is believed can regulate cell cycle, proliferation, metastasis, differentiation and immunity, participating in a variety of physiology and pathology processes. At present, it has been confirmed that certain lncRNAs regulate the osteogenesis of stem cells and take part in mediating signaling pathways including Wnt/β-catenin, MAPK, TGF-β/BMP, and Notch pathways. Here, we provided an overview of lncRNA, reviewed its researches in the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, emphasized the importance of lncRNA in bone regeneration, and focused on the roles of lncRNA in signaling pathways, in order to make adequate preparations for applying lncRNA to bone tissue Engineering, letting it regulate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells for bone regeneration.
