Abstract
Dental follicle cells (DFCs) promote bone regeneration in vivo and in vitro. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play crucial roles in bone development and regeneration. Our previous study demonstrated the upregulation of circFgfr2 expression during the osteogenic differentiation of DFCs. However, the molecular mechanisms and functional roles of circFgfr2 in DFCs osteogenesis remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the subcellular localization of circFgfr2 in DFCs using fluorescence in situ hybridization. In vitro investigations demonstrated that circFgfr2 overexpression promoted osteogenic differentiation, as evidenced by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. By integrating the outcomes of bioinformatics analyses, dual luciferase reporter experiments, and chromatin isolation by RNA purification, we identified circFgfr2 as a sponge for miR-133a-3p, a key regulator of osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, miR-133a-3p suppressed osteogenic differentiation by targeting DLX3 and RUNX2 in DFCs. We validated that circFgfr2 promoted the osteogenic differentiation of DFCs through the miR-133a-3p/DLX3 axis. To further investigate the therapeutic potential of circFgfr2 in bone regeneration, we conducted in vivo experiments and histological analyses. Overall, these results confirmed the crucial role of circFgfr2 in promoting osteogenesis. In summary, our findings demonstrated that the circFgfr2/miR-133a-3p/DLX3 pathway acts as a cascade, thereby identifying circFgfr2 as a promising molecular target for bone tissue engineering.

Unique miRomics Expression Profiles in Tannerella forsythia-Infected Mandibles during Periodontitis Using Machine Learning. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16393. [PMID: 38003583 PMCID: PMC10671577 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242216393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
T. forsythia is a subgingival periodontal bacterium constituting the subgingival pathogenic polymicrobial milieu during periodontitis (PD). miRNAs play a pivotal role in maintaining periodontal tissue homeostasis at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic levels. The aim of this study was to characterize the global microRNAs (miRNA, miR) expression kinetics in 8- and 16-week-old T. forsythia-infected C57BL/6J mouse mandibles and to identify the miRNA bacterial biomarkers of disease process at specific time points. We examined the differential expression (DE) of miRNAs in mouse mandibles (n = 10) using high-throughput NanoString nCounter® miRNA expression panels, which provided significant advantages over specific candidate miRNA or pathway analyses. All the T. forsythia-infected mice at two specific time points showed bacterial colonization (100%) in the gingival surface, along with a significant increase in alveolar bone resorption (ABR) (p < 0.0001). We performed a NanoString analysis of specific miRNA signatures, miRNA target pathways, and gene network analysis. A total of 115 miRNAs were DE in the mandible tissue during 8 and 16 weeks The T. forsythia infection, compared with sham infection, and the majority (99) of DE miRNAs were downregulated. nCounter miRNA expression kinetics identified 67 downregulated miRNAs (e.g., miR-375, miR-200c, miR-200b, miR-34b-5p, miR-141) during an 8-week infection, whereas 16 upregulated miRNAs (e.g., miR-1902, miR-let-7c, miR-146a) and 32 downregulated miRNAs (e.g., miR-2135, miR-720, miR-376c) were identified during a 16-week infection. Two miRNAs, miR-375 and miR-200c, were highly downregulated with >twofold change during an 8-week infection. Six miRNAs in the 8-week infection (miR-200b, miR-141, miR-205, miR-423-3p, miR-141-3p, miR-34a-5p) and two miRNAs in the 16-week infection (miR-27a-3p, miR-15a-5p) that were downregulated have also been reported in the gingival tissue and saliva of periodontitis patients. This preclinical in vivo study identified T. forsythia-specific miRNAs (miR-let-7c, miR-210, miR-146a, miR-423-5p, miR-24, miR-218, miR-26b, miR-23a-3p) and these miRs have also been reported in the gingival tissues and saliva of periodontitis patients. Further, several DE miRNAs that are significantly upregulated (e.g., miR-101b, miR-218, miR-127, miR-24) are also associated with many systemic diseases such as atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, diabetes, obesity, and several cancers. In addition to DE analysis, we utilized the XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient boost) and Random Forest machine learning (ML) algorithms to assess the impact that the number of miRNA copies has on predicting whether a mouse is infected. XGBoost found that miR-339-5p was most predictive for mice infection at 16 weeks. miR-592-5p was most predictive for mice infection at 8 weeks and also when the 8-week and 16-week results were grouped together. Random Forest predicted miR-592 as most predictive at 8 weeks as well as the combined 8-week and 16-week results, but miR-423-5p was most predictive at 16 weeks. In conclusion, the expression levels of miR-375 and miR-200c family differed significantly during disease process, and these miRNAs establishes a link between T. forsythia and development of periodontitis genesis, offering new insights regarding the pathobiology of this bacterium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in gene regulation that controls stem cells differentiation. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) could differentiate into osteo-/cementoblast-like cells that secretes cementum-like matrix both in vitro and in vivo. Whether miRNAs play key roles in osteoblastic differentiation of PDLSCs triggered by a special microenviroment remains elusive. In this study, we aimed to investigate potential miRNA expression changes in osteoblastic differentiation of PDLSCs by the induction of apical tooth germ cell-conditioned medium (APTG-CM). METHODS AND RESULTS First, we analyzed the ability of APTG-CM to osteogenically differentiate PDLSCs. The results exhibited an enhanced mineralization ability, higher ALP activity and increased expression of osteogenic genes in APTG-CM-induced PDLSCs. Second, we used miRNA sequencing to analyze the miRNA expression profile of PDLSCs derived from three donors under 21-day induction or non-induction of APTG-CM. MiR-146a-5p was found to be up-regulated miRNA in induced PDLSCs and validated by RT-qPCR. Third, we used lentivirus-up/down system to verify the role of miR-146a-5p in the regulation of osteoblastic differentiation of PDLSCs. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, our results demonstrated that miR-146a-5p was involved in the promotion effect of APTG-CM on osteoblastic differentiation of PDLSCs, and suggested that miR-146a-5p might be a novel way in deciding the direction of PDLSCs differentiation.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation caused by the deposition of dental plaque on the tooth surface. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) have the potential of osteogenic differentiation. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are collectively involved in periodontitis. This study was designed to explore the roles of Linc01133 in osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. hPDLSCs obtained from the periodontal ligament (PDL) of patients with periodontitis were used to collect Linc01133, microRNA-30c (miR-30c), and bone gamma-carboxyglutamate protein (BGLAP) expression data, and their expression changes were traced during osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction as well as western blotting were used to analyze the levels of RNAs and proteins. Dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays demonstrated the relationship between Linc01133, miR-30c, and BGLAP. Furthermore, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red staining were applied to evaluate the degree of osteogenic differentiation. Linc01133 was downregulated in the PDL of patients with periodontitis. Upregulated Linc01133 promoted osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. Linc01133 could inhibit miR-30c expression by sponging miR-30c. miR-30c suppressed osteogenic differentiation. Additionally, miR-30c targeted BGLAP. Knockdown of BGLAP abrogated the effects of decreased miR-30c on osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. Linc01133 acted as a ceRNA to regulate osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs via the miR-30c/BGLAP axis. Therefore, Linc01133 may participate in the progress of periodontitis.

Abstract
Dysfunction of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is recognized critical in bone deteriorations of osteoporosis. However, the specific mechanisms that determine the fate of BMSCs remain elusive. MicroRNA-133a (miR-133a), a highly conserved microRNA, was investigated under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. In the in vitro study, cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, and osteoblast/adipocyte differentiation of BMSCs as a result of overexpression or knockdown of miR-133a was investigated. In the in vivo study, the ovariectomy (OVX) model was applied on mice, with further treatment of the models with BMSC-specific miR-133a antagomir through femur intramedullary injection. Microcomputed tomography scanning and histological analysis of the proximal and middle femur were performed to evaluate the morphological changes. The results revealed that overexpression of miR-133a suppressed cell proliferation, cell viability, and osteoblast differentiation of BMSCs, but increased adipocyte differentiation. We also found that FGFR1, an important upstream regulator of mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) signal pathway, was a major target of miR-133a. We also recorded that BMSC-specific knockdown of miR-133a attenuates bone loss in OVX mice. Our study suggested that miR-133a played an important role in maintaining the viability and balance between osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation of BMSCs through the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway by targeting FGFR1.

Abstract
Chronic inflammatory diseases, including periodontitis, are the most common causes of bone tissue destruction. Periodontitis often leads to loss of connective tissue homeostasis and reduced alveolar bone levels. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), a population of multipotent stem cells derived from periodontal ligament tissues, are considered as candidate cells for the regeneration of alveolar bone and periodontal tissues. Periodontitis impairs the osteogenic differentiation of human PDLSCs. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), including long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and circular RNA (circRNA), have been proposed as vital regulators influencing several differentiation processes including bone regeneration. Still, the molecular mechanisms of ncRNAs regulating osteogenic differentiation of human PDLSCs remain poorly understood. Exploring the influence of ncRNAs in the process of osteogenic differentiation of human PDLSCs may provide novel therapeutic strategies for tissue regeneration as the regeneration of the lost periodontium is the ultimate goal of periodontal therapy.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a debilitating and costly disease that causes fractures in 33% of women and 20% of men over the age of 50 years. Recent studies have shown that beta blocker (BB) users have higher bone mineral density (BMD) and decreased risk of fracture compared with non-users. The mechanism underlying this association is thought to be due to suppression of adrenergic signaling in osteoblasts, which leads to increased BMD in rodent models; however, the mechanism in humans is unknown. Also, several miRNAs are associated with adrenergic signaling and BMD in separate studies. To investigate potential miRNA mechanisms, we performed a cross-sectional analysis using clinical data, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, and miRNA and mRNA profiling of whole blood from the Framingham Study's Offspring Cohort. We found nine miRNAs associated with BB use and increased BMD. In parallel network analyses, we discovered a subnetwork associated with BMD and BB use containing two of these nine miRNAs, miR-19a-3p and miR-186-5p. To strengthen this finding, we showed that these two miRNAs had significantly higher expression in individuals without incident fracture compared with those with fracture in an external data set. We also noted a similar trend in association between these miRNA and Z-score as calculated from heel ultrasound measures in two external cohorts (SOS-Hip and SHIP-TREND). Because miR-19a directly targets the ADRB1 mRNA transcript, we propose BB use may downregulate ADRB1 expression in osteoblasts through increased miR-19a-3p expression. We used enrichment analysis of miRNA targets to find potential indirect effects through insulin and parathyroid hormone signaling. This analysis provides a starting point for delineating the role of miRNA on the association between BB use and BMD. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

[PMID: 30386554 PMCID: PMC6203977 DOI: 10.1186/s13578-018-0254-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2018] [Accepted: 10/22/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Fine osseointegration is the basis of long-term survival of implant. In our previous study, we observed a strong correlation between hyperlipidemia and compromised osseointegration. MicroRNA-29a-3p (miR-29a-3p) has been discovered to participate in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation. However, the role and the underlying mechanisms of hyperlipidemia and miR-29a-3p in osseointegration still remain obscure. Results In peri-implant bone tissues of hyperlipidemia rats, bone mass, mineralization and bone trabecula formation were weakened. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and miR-29a-3p expression were reduced. While in normal rats, implant-bone interfaces were filled with dense new bone and ALP, Runx2 and miR-29a-3p were up-regulated. Overexpressed miR-29a-3p can reverse the adverse effect of hyperlipidemia on osseointegration. Implants were tightly integrated with the surrounding dense new bone tissues, and ALP as well as Runx2 mRNAs were enhanced in miR-29a-3p overexpressed and hyperlipidemia rats, while little peri-implant bone tissue existed, ALP and Runx2 deregulated on miR-29a-3p inhibited rats. Dishevelled 2 (Dvl2) mRNA was declined in peri-implant bone tissue of high-fat (HF) group than normal group, while frizzled 4 (Fzd4) mRNA declined on day 5 and increased from day 10 to day 20 after implantation in hyperlipidemia rats than in normal rats. Next, BMSCs were cultured under HF or normal medium in vitro. In the HF group, ALP activity and mineralization, ALP and Runx2 mRNAs and proteins expression, and miR-29a-3p expression were suppressed, while adipogenesis was increased, as a result, cytoskeletons were sparse and disordered compared to control group. However, when miR-29a-3p was overexpressed in BMSCs, ALP activity, ALP, Runx2, Dvl2 and Fzd4 mRNAs and proteins expressions were up-regulated. As miR-29a-3p was inhibited in BMSCs, the reverse results were obtained. In addition, promoter assay revealed that miR-29a-3p can directly suppress Wnt/β-catenin pathway related Dvl2 and Fzd4 through binding to their 3'-UTR. Conclusions MiR-29a-3p facilitated implant osseointegration via targeting Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related Dvl2 and Fzd4. MiR-29a-3p/Dvl2/Fzd4 may serve as a promising therapeutic target for hyperlipidemia osseointegration.

Abstract
Dishevelled 2 (Dvl-2), a key mediator of the wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, plays critical roles in osteoblasts differentiation in hyperlipidemia environment. In our previous study, we observed a strong correlation between increased dvl2 expression and decreased new bone formation around implants in a rat hyperlipidemia implant surgery model. However, transcriptional regulation of Dvl2 by microRNAs in this process remains unknown. In the current study, we searched in online database and identified four significantly up-regulated miRNAs, miR-21-5p, miR-29c-3p, miR-138-5p, and miR-351-5p that could potentially regulate Dvl2. Using Western blot and dual-luciferase assays, we confirmed that miR29c-3p suppresses Dvl2 expression by binding to its 3'-UTR. Our results suggest a novel transcriptional regulation mechanism of Dvl2 by miR-29c-3p in osteoblasts differentiation of BMSCs.

Abstract
The important role of miR-133a in the progress and development of postmenopausal osteoporosis has been reported, however, the underlying mechanism is not clear yet. In this study, qRT-PCR analysis was performed to assess miR-133 expression in serum isolated from postmenopausal osteoporosis patients (PMOP) and healthy controls. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at the lumbar spine by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The results showed that miR-133a was significantly upregulated and negatively correlated with lumbar spine BMD in serum of postmenopausal osteoporotic women. The miR-133a mimic, miR-133a inhibitor, and the corresponding controls were transfected into RAW264.7 and THP-1 cells, respectively. TRAP-positive cells were counted and the protein expression of NFATc1, c-Fos and TRAP were detected by western blot analysis. We found that MiR-133a was upregulated during osteoclastogenesis, and overexpression of miR-133a promoted RANKL-induced differentiation of RAW264.7 and THP-1 cells into osteoclasts, whereas miR-133a knockdown showed the reversed results. In in vivo experiment, rats were bilaterally ovariectomized (OVX) and injected with antagomiR-133a or antagoNC, and were sacrificed for collecting serum and lumbar spine for ELISA, micro-computed Tomography (CT) and bone histomorphology analysis, respectively. It was found that, in OVX rats, miR-133a knockdown altered the levels of osteoclastogenesis-related factors in serum and increased lumbar spine BMD and changed bone histomorphology. Collectively, miRNA-133a is involved in the regulation of postmenopausal osteoporosis through promoting osteoclast differentiation.

Abstract
Bone metastasis is one of the most common forms of metastasis from a number of different primary carcinomas. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, endogenous RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression to control essential pathways, including those involved in bone organogenesis and homeostasis. As these pathways are often hijacked during bone metastasis, it is not surprising that miRNAs can also influence bone metastasis formation. Areas covered: In this review, we first summarize the major signalling pathways involved in normal bone development and bone metastasis. We will then discuss the overall roles of miRNAs in cancer metastasis and highlight the recent findings on the effects of miRNAs in bone metastasis. To this aim, we have performed a literature search in PubMed by using the search words 'miRNAs' and 'bone metastasis', selecting relevant scientific articles published between 2010 and 2016. Seminal publications before 2010 on the metastatic role of miRNAs have also been considered. Expert commentary: With the lack of current diagnostic biomarkers and effective targeted therapies for bone metastasis, the significant role of miRNAs in the regulation of bone homeostasis and bone metastasis may support the future use of miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

miR-214 promotes periodontal ligament stem cell osteoblastic differentiation by modulating Wnt/β‑catenin signaling. Mol Med Rep 2017; 16:9301-9308. [PMID: 29152645 PMCID: PMC5779983 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2017.7821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2016] [Accepted: 03/30/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling is important in the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts. Accumulating evidence suggests that the expression of β-catenin is, in part, regulated by specific microRNAs (miRNAs). The aim of the present study was to investigate the putative roles of miRNAs in osteoblast differentiation. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) arrays were used to identify miRNAs that were differentially expressed between differentiated and non-differentiated periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used for validation. Since miR-214 was revealed to be significantly downregulated during PDLSC differentiation, its function was further investigated via silencing and overexpression. In addition, osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs was evaluated at 10 and 21 days following induction, using Alizarin red staining and RT-qPCR analysis for mRNA expression levels of the osteogenic differentiation markers alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein. Furthermore, the potential target genes of miR-214 were investigated using a dual-luciferase reporter assay, RT-qPCR and western blot analysis, whereas a TOPflash/FOPflash reporter plasmid system followed by a luciferase assay was used to examine the effects of miR-214 on Wnt/β-catenin signaling. The present results demonstrated that miR-214 was significantly downregulated during the osteoblastic differentiation of PDLSCs. Notably, its overexpression inhibited PDLSC differentiation, whereas its knockdown promoted PDLSC differentiation, as revealed by alterations in mRNA expression of osteoblast-specific genes and ALP. In addition, miR-214 was demonstrated to directly interact with the 3′-untranslated region of the β-catenin gene CTNNB1, and suppressed Wnt/β-catenin signaling through the inhibition of β-catenin. The results of the present study suggested that miR-214 may participate in the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and may have potential as a candidate target for the development of preventive or therapeutic agents for the treatment of patients with osteogenic disorders.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are small, noncoding single-stranded RNAs that have emerged as important posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression, with an essential role in vertebrate development and different biological processes. This review highlights the recent advances in the function of miRNAs and their roles in bone remodeling and bone diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small (∼22 nt), noncoding single-stranded RNAs that have emerged as important posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. They are essential for vertebrate development and play critical roles in different biological processes related to cell differentiation, activity, metabolism, and apoptosis. A rising number of experimental reports now indicate that miRNAs contribute to every step of osteogenesis and bone homeostasis, from embryonic skeletal development to maintenance of adult bone tissue, by regulating the growth, differentiation, and activity of different cell systems inside and outside the skeleton. Importantly, emerging information from animal studies suggests that targeting miRNAs might become an attractive and new therapeutic approach for osteoporosis or other skeletal diseases, even though there are still major concerns related to potential off target effects and the need of efficient delivery methods in vivo. Moreover, besides their recognized effects at the cellular level, evidence is also gathering that miRNAs are excreted and can circulate in the blood or other body fluids with potential paracrine or endocrine functions. Thus, they could represent suitable candidates for becoming sensitive disease biomarkers in different pathologic conditions, including skeletal disorders. Despite these promising perspectives more work remains to be done until miRNAs can serve as robust therapeutic targets or established diagnostic tools for precision medicine in skeletal disorders.

Abstract
Vitamin K2 has been demonstrated to promote the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells; however, the mechanisms underlying this effect remain unclear. As microRNA (miR)-133a has been identified as a negative regulator of osteogenic differentiation, the present study hypothesized that vitamin K2 promoted osteogenesis by inhibiting miR-133a. Using human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) overexpressing miR-133a, or a control, the expression levels of osteogenesis-associated proteins, including runt-related transcription factor 2, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin, were analyzed. miR-133a significantly suppressed the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. To determine the effect of vitamin K2 on miR-133a expression and osteogenesis, hBMSCs were treated with vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 inhibited miR-133a expression, which was accompanied by enhanced osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, the expression levels of vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1, the key protein in γ-carboxylation, were downregulated by miR-133a overexpression and upregulated by vitamin K2 treatment, indicating a positive feedback on γ-carboxylation. The results of the present study suggested that vitamin K2 targets miR-133a to regulate osteogenesis.

Abstract
MINI-ABSTRACT In this study, we demonstrated that the use of zoledronic acid does not impair fracture healing, but results in superior callus size and resistance at the fracture site, which could be the consequence of a lower rate of bone turnover due to its anti-catabolic effect. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of inhibition of bone remodeling by the bisphosphonate, zoledronic acid, on callus properties in an osteoporotic rat model of fracture healing. METHODS Ovariectomized (OVX) rats were randomly divided into four treatment groups (n=24 per group): saline control (CNT); and three systemic zoledronic acid-injected groups (0.1mg/kg), administered 1 day (ZOLD1), 1 week (ZOLW1), and 2 weeks (ZOLW2) after fracture. Rats were killed at either 6 or 12 weeks postoperatively. Postmortem analyses included radiography, microcomputed tomography, histology, histomorphometry, biomechanical tests, and nanoindentation tests. RESULTS Treatment with zoledronic acid led to a significant increase in trabecular bone volume within the callus, as well as in callus resistance, compared to those in the saline control rats; delayed administration (ZOLW2) reduced intrinsic material properties, including ultimate stress and elastic modulus, and microarchitecture parameters, including bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), and connectivity density (Conn.D), compared with ZOLD1 at 12 weeks after surgery. OVX had a negative effect on the progression of endochondral ossification at 6 weeks. Zoledronic acid administration at an early stage following fracture may bind to early callus, and thus not affect subsequent callus formation and endochondral ossification, while delayed administration (ZOLW2) mildly suppresses bony callus remodeling. CONCLUSION The superior results obtained with zoledronic acid (ZOLD1, ZOLW1, and ZOLW2) compared to CNT in terms of callus size and resistance could be the consequence of a lower rate of bone turnover at the fracture site due to the anti-catabolic effect of zoledronic acid. Mild suppression of callus remodeling by delayed administration did not impair the initial phase of the fracture healing process.

Abstract
Background and Objective. Dental stem cell-based tissue engineered constructs are emerging as a promising alternative to autologous bone transfer for treating bone defects. The purpose of this review is to systematically assess the preclinical in vivo and in vitro studies which have evaluated the efficacy of dental stem cells on bone regeneration. Methods. A literature search was conducted in Ovid Medline, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science up to October 2014. Implantation of dental stem cells in animal models for evaluating bone regeneration and/or in vitro studies demonstrating osteogenic potential of dental stem cells were included. The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to ensure the quality of the search. Modified ARRIVE (Animal research: reporting in invivo experiments) and CONSORT (Consolidated reporting of trials) were used to critically analyze the selected studies. Results. From 1914 citations, 207 full-text articles were screened and 137 studies were included in this review. Because of the heterogeneity observed in the studies selected, meta-analysis was not possible. Conclusion. Both in vivo and in vitro studies indicate the potential use of dental stem cells in bone regeneration. However well-designed randomized animal trials are needed before moving into clinical trials.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) in periodontal ligament (PDL) can differentiate into osteoblasts, while physiologically PDL remains non-mineralized space although located two hard tissues. But the exact mechanism of which is still unclear. High-temperature requirement protein A1 (HtrA1) is a key mineralization regulator and could inhibit the osteogenesis by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling. However, the role of HtrA1 in PDLCs osteogenic differentiation has yet to be clarified. We assume HtrA1 may play an important role in maintaining the balance of PDL mineralization, and may regulate human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) osteogenic differentiation by TGF-β1. Firstly we confirmed the mRNA expression of HtrA1 and TGF-β1 in hPDLCs by RT-PCR, then QDs-based immunofluorescence demonstrated the co-localization of them in the cytoplasm, and co-immunoprecipitation further confirmed the interaction between them. Lentivirus-mediated HtrA1 overexpression enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs, as well as up-regulation of TGF-β1. In contrast, knockdown of HtrA1 suppressed the osteogenic differentiation with down-regulation of TGF-β1. These findings suggested that HtrA1 plays a positive role in hPDLCs osteogenic differentiation and may regulate this process by TGF-β1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our studies aimed to figure out how anti-differentiation noncoding RNA (ANCR) regulates the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). DESIGN In this study, we used lentivirus infection to down-regulate the expression of ANCR in PDLSCs. Then we compared the proliferation of control cells and PDLSC/ANCR-RNAi cells by Cell Counting Kit-8. And the osteogenic differentiation of control cells and PDLSC/ANCR-RNAi cells were evaluated by Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity quantification and Alizarin red staining. WNT inhibitor was used to analyze the relationship between ANCR and canonical WNT signalling pathway. The expression of osteogenic differentiation marker mRNAs, DKK1, GSK3-β and β-catenin were evaluated by qRT-PCR. RESULTS The results showed that down-regulated ANCR promoted proliferation of PDLSCs. Down-regulated ANCR also promoted osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs by up-regulating osteogenic differentiation marker genes. After the inhibition of canonical WNT signalling pathway, the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSC/ANCR-RNAi cells was inhibited too. qRT-PCR results also demonstrated that canonical WNT signalling pathway was activated for ANCR-RNAi on PDLSCs during the procedure of proliferation and osteogenic induction. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that ANCR was a key regulator of the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs, and its regulating effects was associated with the canonical WNT signalling pathway, thus offering a new target for oral stem cell differentiation studies that could also facilitate oral tissue engineering.

Abstract
CONTEXT Recent research results have confirmed the high significance of the OPG/RANK/RANKL system in the development of bone diseases. AIM The aim of the reported study was to assess gene expression levels of the OPG/RANK/RANKL system in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after strontium ranelate (SR) and ibandronate administered to patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 89 postmenopausal women, aged 51 to 85 years, patients of the Outpatient Clinic of Osteoporosis of the Military Teaching Hospital in Lodz, were enrolled into the study. The patients were randomly assigned to different medical therapies: ibandronate and SR. Patients of the control group received only calcium and vitamin D₃ supplements. Patient visits were repeated after 3 and 6 months. Measurements of serum alkaline phosphatase concentrations and of RNA expression in PBMCs as well as of total serum calcium and phosphate levels and of their 24-hour urine excretion rates were carried out in material, collected at baseline and after 3 and 6 months of the therapy. Densitometry of the left hip and of the lumbar spine was done at the baseline visit and after 6 months. RESULTS The differences in gene expressions of RANKL and RANK were not significant during the study period and did not differ between the groups in a statistically significant manner. No OPG gene expression was observed in PBMCs of patients in any of the studied groups and at any time point. The tendency of correlation (P = .07) was observed between decreasing RANK gene expression and increasing bone mineral density in the patients treated with SR. CONCLUSIONS Both ibandronate and SR do not seem to cause any significant changes in gene expression levels of OPG/RANK/RANKL in PBMCs during the first 6 months of treatment.

Abstract
Bone is a specialized connective tissue with a calcified extracellular matrix in which cells are embedded. Besides providing the internal support of the body and protection for vital organs, bone also has several important metabolic functions, especially in mineral homeostasis. Far from being a passive tissue, it is continuously being resorbed and formed again throughout life, by a process known as bone remodeling. Bone development and remodeling are influenced by many factors, some of which may be modifiable in the early steps of life. Several studies have shown that environmental factors in uterus and in infancy may modify the skeletal growth pattern, influencing the risk of bone disease in later life. On the other hand, bone remodeling is a highly orchestrated multicellular process that requires the sequential and balanced events of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoblast-mediated bone formation. These processes are accompanied by specific gene expression patterns which are responsible for the differentiation of the mesenchymal and hematopoietic precursors of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, respectively, and the activity of differentiated bone cells. This review summarizes the current understanding of how epigenetic mechanisms influence these processes and their possible role in common skeletal diseases.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis mainly occurs in postmenopausal women, which is characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) due to unbalanced bone resorption by osteoclasts and formation by osteoblasts. Circulating monocytes play important roles in osteoclastogenesis by acting as osteoclast precursors and secreting osteoclastogenic factors, such as IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated as important biomarkers in various diseases. The present study aimed to find significant miRNA biomarkers in human circulating monocytes underlying postmenopausal osteoporosis. Methodology/Principal Findings We used ABI TaqMan® miRNA array followed by qRT-PCR validation in circulating monocytes to identify miRNA biomarkers in 10 high and 10 low BMD postmenopausal Caucasian women. MiR-133a was upregulated (P=0.007) in the low compared with the high BMD groups in the array analyses, which was also validated by qRT-PCR (P=0.044). We performed bioinformatic target gene analysis and found three potential osteoclast-related target genes, CXCL11, CXCR3 and SLC39A1. In addition, we performed Pearson correlation analyses between the expression levels of miR-133a and the three potential target genes in the 20 postmenopausal women. We did find negative correlations between miR-133a and all the three genes though not significant. Conclusions/Significance This is the first in vivo miRNA expression analysis in human circulating monocytes to identify novel miRNA biomarkers underlying postmenopausal osteoporosis. Our results suggest that miR-133a in circulating monocytes is a potential biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis.
