Abstract
Osteoporosis is the most common skeletal disease characterized by an imbalance between bone resorption and bone remodeling. Osteoporosis can lead to bone loss and bone microstructural deterioration. This increases the risk of bone fragility and fracture, severely reducing patients' mobility and quality of life. However, the specific molecular mechanisms involved in the development of osteoporosis remain unclear. Increasing evidence suggests that multiple noncoding RNAs show differential expression in the osteoporosis state. Meanwhile, noncoding RNAs have been associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis and fracture. Noncoding RNAs are an important class of factors at the level of gene regulation and are mainly involved in cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell death. Programmed cell death is a genetically-regulated form of cell death involved in regulating the homeostasis of the internal environment. Noncoding RNA plays an important role in the programmed cell death process. The exploration of the noncoding RNA-programmed cell death axis has become an interesting area of research and has been shown to play a role in many diseases such as osteoporosis. In this review, we summarize the latest findings on the mechanism of noncoding RNA-mediated programmed cell death on bone homeostasis imbalance leading to osteoporosis. And we provide a deeper understanding of the role played by the noncoding RNA-programmed cell death axis at the gene regulatory level of osteoporosis. We hope to provide a unique opportunity to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for osteoporosis.

Zhao D, He J, Zhao X, Sheng X, Feng Z, Wang X, Zhang C, Wang S, Geng B, Xia Y. A novel lncRNA GM15416 regulates osteoblast apoptosis and differentiation through the c-Fos/Fas axis and mitigates osteoporosis. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:127824. [PMID: 37924900 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127824] [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: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a common systemic bone disorder, and the programmed cell death of osteoblasts is closely linked to the development of osteoporosis. Previous studies have shown that c-fos can cause osteoblast apoptosis. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays a pervasive role in regulating the biology of osteoblasts. Nevertheless, the precise role and mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in relation to c-Fos at the transcriptional level in osteoblast cell death remain uncertain. Compared with normal osteoblasts, serum deprivation resulted in significant upregulation of the transcription factor c-Fos and apoptosis-related Fas proteins in osteoblasts. In addition, the expression of lncRNA GM15416 related to c-Fos was significantly increased. The results showed that overexpression of c-Fos leads to an increase in downstream Fas protein, which subsequently leads to osteoblast apoptosis and hinders osteogenesis. On the contrary, a decrease in lncRNA GM15416 expression leads to a decrease in c-Fos/Fas expression, which hinders osteoblast apoptosis and promotes osteogenesis. Our results suggest that lncRNA GM15416 exerts inhibitory effects on osteoblast apoptosis and acts as a preventive factor against osteoporosis. As a result, GM15416 emerges as an important lncRNA associated with osteoporosis and holds potential as a future therapeutic target.

Abstract
Bone metabolic diseases have been tormented and are plaguing people worldwide due to the lack of effective and thorough medical interventions and the poor understanding of their pathogenesis. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are heterogeneous transcripts that cannot encode the proteins but can affect the expressions of other genes. Autophagy is a fundamental mechanism for keeping cell viability, recycling cellular contents through the lysosomal pathway, and maintaining the homeostasis of the intracellular environment. There is growing evidence that ncRNAs, autophagy, and crosstalk between ncRNAs and autophagy play complex roles in progression of metabolic bone disease. This review investigated the complex mechanisms by which ncRNAs, mainly micro RNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), regulate autophagic pathway to assist in treating bone metabolism disorders. It aimed at identifying the autophagy role in bone metabolism disorders and understanding the role, potential, and challenges of crosstalk between ncRNAs and autophagy for bone metabolism disorders treatment.

Abstract
Objectives: Bone immune disorders are major contributors to osteoporosis development. This study aims to identify potential diagnostic markers and molecular targets for osteoporosis treatment from an immunological perspective. Method: We downloaded dataset GSE56116 from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal and osteoporosis groups. Subsequently, differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEIRGs) were identified, and a functional enrichment analysis was performed. A protein-protein interaction network was also constructed based on data from STRING database to identify hub genes. Following external validation using an additional dataset (GSE35959), effective biomarkers were confirmed using RT-qPCR and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. ROC curves were constructed to validate the diagnostic values of the identified biomarkers. Finally, a ceRNA and a transcription factor network was constructed, and a Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis was performed to explore the biological functions of these diagnostic markers. Results: In total, 307 and 31 DEGs and DEIRGs were identified, respectively. The enrichment analysis revealed that the DEIRGs are mainly associated with Gene Ontology terms of positive regulation of MAPK cascade, granulocyte chemotaxis, and cytokine receptor. protein-protein interaction network analysis revealed 10 hub genes: FGF8, KL, CCL3, FGF4, IL9, FGF9, BMP7, IL17RA, IL12RB2, CD40LG. The expression level of IL17RA was also found to be significantly high. RT-qPCR and immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of IL17RA was significantly higher in osteoporosis patients compared to the normal group, as evidenced by the area under the curve Area Under Curve of 0.802. Then, we constructed NEAT1-hsa-miR-128-3p-IL17RA, and SNHG1-hsa-miR-128-3p-IL17RA ceRNA networks in addition to ERF-IL17RA, IRF8-IL17RA, POLR2A-IL17RA and ERG-IL17RA transcriptional networks. Finally, functional enrichment analysis revealed that IL17RA was involved in the development and progression of osteoporosis by regulating local immune and inflammatory processes in bone tissue. Conclusion: This study identifies the immune-related gene IL17RA as a diagnostic marker of osteoporosis from an immunological perspective, and provides insight into its biological function.
