Abstract
Chondrodysplasia is closely associated with low birth weight and increased susceptibility to osteoarthritis in adulthood. Prenatal prednisone exposure (PPE) can cause low birth weight; however, its effect on offspring cartilage development remains unexplored. Herein, rats are administered clinical doses of prednisone intragastrically on gestational days (GDs) 0-20 and underwent long-distance running during postnatal weeks (PWs) 24-28. Knee cartilage is assayed for quality and related index changes on GD20, PW12, and PW28. In vitro experiments are performed to elucidate the mechanism. PPE decreased cartilage proliferation and matrix synthesis, causing offspring chondrodysplasia. Following long-distance running, the PPE group exhibited more typical osteoarthritis-like changes. Molecular analysis revealed that PPE caused cartilage circRNomics imbalance in which circGtdc1 decreased most significantly and persisted postnatally. Mechanistically, prednisolone reduced circGtdc1 expression and binding with Srsf1 to promote degradation of Srsf1 via K48-linked polyubiquitination. This further inhibited the formation of EDA/B+Fn1 and activation of PI3K/AKT and TGFβ pathways, reducing chondrocyte proliferation and matrix synthesis. Finally, intra-articular injection of offspring with AAV-circGtdc1 ameliorated PPE-induced chondrodysplasia, but this effect is reversed by Srsf1 knockout. Altogether, this study confirms that PPE causes chondrodysplasia and susceptibility to osteoarthritis by altering the circGtdc1-Srsf1-Fn1 axis; in vivo, overexpression of circGtdc1 can represent an effective intervention target for ameliorating PPE-induced chondrodysplasia.

Abstract
Craniofacial reconstruction faces many challenges, including high complexity, strong specificity, severe injury, irregular and complex wounds, and high risk of bleeding. Traditionally, the "gold standard" for treating craniofacial bone defects has been tissue transplantation, which involves the transplantation of bone, cartilage, skin, and other tissues from other parts of the body. However, the shape of craniofacial bone and cartilage structures varies greatly and is distinctly different from ordinary long bones. Craniofacial bones originate from the neural crest, while long bones originate from the mesoderm. These factors contribute to the poor effectiveness of tissue transplantation in repairing craniofacial defects. Autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplantation exhibits excellent pluripotency, low immunogenicity, and minimally invasive properties, and is considered a potential alternative to tissue transplantation for treating craniofacial defects. Researchers have found that both craniofacial-specific mesenchymal stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells from other parts of the body have significant effects on the restoration and reconstruction of craniofacial bones, cartilage, wounds, and adipose tissue. In addition, the continuous development and application of tissue engineering technology provide new ideas for craniofacial repair. With the continuous exploration of mesenchymal stem cells by researchers and the continuous development of tissue engineering technology, the use of autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for craniofacial reconstruction has gradually been accepted and promoted. This article will review the applications of various types of mesenchymal stem cells and related tissue engineering in craniofacial repair and reconstruction.

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

Abstract
The repair and functional reconstruction of large skin defects caused by burn remains an intractable clinical problem. Collagen type I (ColI) was extracted from carp scales and confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis ultraviolet adsorption spectra and automatic amino acid analyzer. Then the scaffolds containing the purified ColI, hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) were constructed and examined. The results showed that the scaffold (ColI:CS:HA=9:1:1) had larger pore diameter, porosity, water absorption, degradation rate and tensile strength. gentamycin sulphate (GS) - gelatin microspheres (GMSs) were prepared by emulsion cross-linking method. The drug release study of the ColI-CS-HA-GS/GMSs scaffold with antibacterial property showed a prolonged, continuous, and sustained release of GS. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were extracted from rat and inoculated into the ColI-HA-CS-GS/GMSs scaffold. The results performed that the scaffold could accelerate proliferation of the BMSCs and wound healing.

Abstract
The rotator cuff and Achilles tendons along with the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are frequently injured with limited healing capacity. At the soft-hard tissue interface, enthesis is prone to get damaged and its regeneration in osteochondral defects is essential for complete healing. The current clinical techniques used in suturing procedures to reattach tendons to bones need much improvement for the generation of the native interface tissue, that is, enthesis, for patients to regain their full functions. Recently, inspired by the composite native tissue, much effort has been made to fabricate composite scaffolds for enthesis tissue regeneration. This review first focuses on the studies that used composite scaffolds for the regeneration of enthesis. Then, the use of polysaccharides for osteochondral tissue engineering is reviewed and their potential for enthesis regeneration is presented based on their supporting effects on osteogenesis and chondrogenesis. Gellan gum (GG) is selected and reviewed as a promising polysaccharide due to its unique osteogenic and chondrogenic activities that help avoid the inherent weakness of dissimilar materials in composite scaffolds. In addition, original preliminary results showed that GG supports collagen type I production and upregulation of osteogenic marker genes. Impact Statement Enthesis regeneration is essential for complete and functional healing of tendon and ligament tissues. Current suturing techniques to reattach the tendon/ligament to bones have high failure rates. This review highlights the studies on biomimetic scaffolds aimed to regenerate enthesis. In addition, the potential of using polysaccharides to regenerate enthesis is discussed based on their ability to regenerate osteochondral tissues. Gellan gum is presented as a promising biopolymer that can be modified to simultaneously support bone and cartilage regeneration by providing structural continuity for the scaffold.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of static magnetic field (SMF) and its regulatory mechanism in the repair of osteoarthritic cartilage. Methods Fourteen-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the sham operation group and the osteoarthritis (OA) groups with and without SMF application. SMF was applied at 200 mT for two consecutive weeks. Changes in knee cartilage were examined by histomorphometry, and the chondrogenesis and migration of endogenous stem cells were assessed. The expression of SRY-related protein 9 (SOX9), Collagen type II (COL2), matrix metallopeptidase 13 (MMP13), stromal cell-derived factor 1/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (SDF-1/CXCR4), Piezo1 and other genes was evaluated, and the mechanism of SMF's action was tested using the CXCR4 inhibitor, AMD3100, and Piezo1 siRNA. Results SMF significantly decreased the OARSI scores after induction of OA. SMF was beneficial to chondrogenesis by elevating SOX9. In the OA mouse model, an increase in MMP13 with a decrease in COL2 led to the destruction of the cartilage extracellular matrix, which was suppressed by SMF. SMF promoted the migration of cartilage-derived stem/progenitor cells and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). It increased SDF-1 and CXCR4, while the CXCR4 inhibitor significantly suppressed the beneficial effects of SMF. The application of Piezo1 siRNA inhibited the SMF-induced increase of CXCR4. Conclusion SMF enhanced chondrogenesis and improved cartilage extracellular matrices. It activated the Piezo1-mediated SDF-1/CXCR4 regulatory axis and promoted the migration of endogenous stem cells. Collectively, it attenuated the pathological progression of cartilage destruction in OA mice. The Translational potential of this article The findings in this study provided convincing evidence that SMF could enhance cartilage repair and improve OA symptoms, suggesting that SMF could have clinical value in the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Articular cartilage (AC), a bone-to-bone protective device made of up to 80% water and populated by only one cell type (i.e. chondrocyte), has limited capacity for regeneration and self-repair after being damaged because of its low cell density, alymphatic and avascular nature. Resulting repair of cartilage defects, such as osteoarthritis (OA), is highly challenging in clinical treatment. Fortunately, the development of tissue engineering provides a promising method for growing cells in cartilage regeneration and repair by using hydrogels or the porous scaffolds. In this paper, we review the therapeutic strategies for AC defects, including current treatment methods, engineering/regenerative strategies, recent advances in biomaterials, and present emphasize on the perspectives of gene regulation and therapy of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as circular RNA (circRNA) and microRNA (miRNA).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease that is one of the main causes of disability in middle-aged and elderly people. Adipose stem cell (ASC)-derived exosomes (ASC-Exo) could repair cartilage damage and treat OA. MiRNA-338-3p expression was confirmed to play a role in inhibiting proinflammatory cytokines. Herein, we aimed to explore the mechanism by which exosomes derived from miR-338-3p overexpressing ASCs protects chondrocytes from interleukin (IL)-1β-induced chondrocyte change. METHODS Exosomes were extracted from ASCs transfected with miR-338-3p or its antisense inhibitor. The ASC-Exos (miR-338-3p silencing/overexpression) were incubated with IL-1β-induced ATDC5 cells, followed by evaluation of the chondrocyte proliferation, degradation, and inflammation injury. RESULTS In vitro results revealed that ASC-Exos inhibited the expression of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α, as well as promoted the proliferation of ATDC5 cells. Moreover, ASC-Exos inhibited inflammation injury and degradation of ATDC5 cells by transferring miR-338-3p. Luciferase reporter assays showed that RUNX2 was a target gene of miR-338-3p. Additionally, RUNX2 overexpression in ATDC5 cells reversed the protective effect of miR-338-3p on chondrocytes. Taken together, this study demonstrated that exosomes secreted from miR-338-3p-modified ASCs were effective in the repair of IL-1β-induced chondrocyte change by inhibiting RUNX2 expression. CONCLUSIONS Our result provided valuable data for understanding the mechanism of ASC-Exos in OA treatment.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes and even myoblasts, and are therefore defined as pluripotent cells. BMSCs have become extremely important seed cells in gene therapy, tissue engineering, cell replacement therapy and regenerative medicine due to their potential in multilineage differentiation, self‑renewal, immune regulation and other fields. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non‑coding RNAs that are widely present in eukaryotic cells. Unlike standard linear RNAs, circRNAs form covalently closed continuous loops with no 5' or 3' polarity. circRNAs are abundantly expressed in cells and tissues, and are highly conserved and relatively stable during evolution. Numerous studies have shown that circRNAs play an important role in the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Further studies on the role of circRNAs in the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs can provide a new theoretical and experimental basis for bone tissue engineering and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Background: CircRNAs have been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases. We aimed to explore the roles of circRNAs in ovarian cancer. Methods: The expression levels of circRNAs in ovarian cancer and normal ovarian tissues were analyzed using RNA sequencing. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), proliferation assays and transwell assays were used to assess the effects of circRNAs on ovarian cancer. Results: CircATRNL1 and circZNF608 were downregulated in 20 ovarian cancer tissues compared to normal tissues. CircATRNL1 and circZNF608 are mainly located in the cytoplasm of ovarian cancer cells, and circATRNL1 is a highly conserved circRNA. The overexpression of circATRNL1 and circZNF608 inhibits the proliferation and invasion of ovarian cancer cells. We predicted miRNA–circRNA interactions for circZNF608 and circATRNL1 and obtained 63 interactions. However, a luciferase reporter assay showed that only miR-152-5p was sequestered by circZNF608. Bioinformatics analysis and experiments indicated that circATRNL1 contains an internal ribosome entry site and an open reading frame encoding a 131 aa protein. Conclusion: In conclusion, circATRNL1 and circZNF608 are two downregulated circRNAs in ovarian cancer and work as tumor suppressors. CircZNF608 may exert antitumor activity in ovarian cancer by binding miR-152-5p, and circATRNL1 may encode a 131 aa protein.
