Morelli M, Madonna S, Albanesi C. SOCS1 and SOCS3 as key checkpoint molecules in the immune responses associated to skin inflammation and malignant transformation. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1393799.

Abstract
SOCS are a family of negative inhibitors of the molecular cascades induced by cytokines, growth factors and hormones. At molecular level, SOCS proteins inhibit the kinase activity of specific sets of receptor-associated Janus Activated Kinases (JAKs), thereby suppressing the propagation of intracellular signals. Of the eight known members, SOCS1 and SOCS3 inhibit activity of JAKs mainly induced by cytokines and can play key roles in regulation of inflammatory and immune responses. SOCS1 and SOCS3 are the most well-characterized SOCS members in skin inflammatory diseases, where their inhibitory activity on cytokine activated JAKs and consequent anti-inflammatory action has been widely investigated in epidermal keratinocytes. Structurally, SOCS1 and SOCS3 share the presence of a N-terminal domain containing a kinase inhibitory region (KIR) motif able to act as a pseudo-substrate for JAK and to inhibit its activity. During the last decades, the design and employment of SOCS1 and SOCS3-derived peptides mimicking KIR domains in experimental models of dermatoses definitively established a strong anti-inflammatory and ameliorative impact of JAK inhibition on skin inflammatory responses. Herein, we discuss the importance of the findings collected in the past on SOCS1 and SOCS3 function in the inflammatory responses associated to skin immune-mediated diseases and malignancies, for the development of the JAK inhibitor drugs. Among them, different JAK inhibitors have been introduced in the clinical practice for treatment of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, and others are being investigated for skin diseases like alopecia areata and vitiligo.

Adv Biol (Weinh) 2024; 8:e2300581.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key mediators of inflammation in intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. TLR-2 activation contributes to the degenerative process by increasing the expression of extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and neurotrophins. As potent post-transcriptional regulators, microRNAs can modulate intracellular mechanisms, and their dysregulation is known to contribute to numerous pathologies. This study aims to investigate the impact of TLR-2 signaling on miRNA dysregulation in the context of IVD degeneration. Small-RNA sequencing of degenerated IVD cells shows the dysregulation of ten miRNAs following TLR-2 activation by PAM2CSK4. The miR-155-5p is most significantly upregulated in degenerated and non-degenerated annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus cells. Sequence-based target and pathway prediction shows the involvement of miR-155-5p in inflammation- and cell fate-related pathways and TLR-2-induced miR-155-5p expression leads to the downregulation of its target c-FOS. Furthermore, changes specific to the activation of TLR-2 through fragmented fibronectin are seen in miR-484 and miR-487. Lastly, miR-100-3p, miR-320b, and miR-181a-3p expression exhibit degeneration-dependent changes. These results show that TLR-2 signaling leads to the dysregulation of miRNAs in IVD cells as well as their possible downstream effects on inflammation and degeneration. The identified miRNAs provide important opportunities as potential therapeutic targets for IVD degeneration and low back pain.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a common metabolic bone disease characterized by deterioration of bone tissue structure, reduction of bone mass, and susceptibility to fracture. More and new suitable therapeutic targets need to be discovered. The purpose of this study was to explore the ceRNA mechanisms of circRNAs involved in osteoporosis. In this study, a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network was obtained through the application of OP-related high throughput data sets. Our results provided evidence that HNRNPA3 was involved in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs. Testing of human bone tissues and ovariectomized mice bones proved that its expression level was negatively correlated with OP. The utilization of miRNA mimic or inhibitor proved that miR-155-5p could negatively regulate the expression of HNRNPA3, while overexpression of hsa_circ_0114581 with a circRNA overexpression vector proved that hsa_circ_0114581 could indirectly promoted HNRNPA3 expression and osteogenic differentiation by sponging hsa-miR-155-5p. A serious of luciferase reporter assay experiments further verified the binding site between miR-155-5p and HNRNPA3 and the binding site between miR-155-5p and hsa_circ_0114581. This study proved that the hsa_circ_0114581/hsa-miR-155-5p/HNRNPA3 axis was related with OP. The results reveal valuable insights into the pathogenesis of OP and noncoding RNA markers that may have a treatment role and will help to provide hypotheses for future studies.

Abstract
Macrophages (MΦ) are highly adaptable and functionally polarized cells that play a crucial role in various physiological and pathological processes. Typically, MΦ differentiate into two distinct subsets: the proinflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotypes. Due to their potent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, MΦ have garnered significant attention in recent decades. In the context of bone implant repair, the immunomodulatory function of MΦ is of paramount importance. Depending on their polarization phenotype, MΦ can exert varying effects on osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and the inflammatory response around the implant. This paper provides an overview of the immunomodulatory and inflammatory effects of MΦ polarization in the repair of bone implants.

Sharing Circulating Micro-RNAs between Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia: A Systematic Review. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13030602.

Abstract
Background: Osteosarcopenia, a combination of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia, is a common condition among older adults. While numerous studies and meta-analyses have been conducted on osteoporosis biomarkers, biomarker utility in osteosarcopenia still lacks evidence. Here, we carried out a systematic review to explore and analyze the potential clinical of circulating microRNAs (miRs) shared between osteoporosis/osteopenia and sarcopenia. Methods: We performed a systematic review on PubMed, Scopus, and Embase for differentially expressed miRs (p-value < 0.05) in (i) osteoporosis and (ii) sarcopenia. Following screening for title and abstract and deduplication, 83 studies on osteoporosis and 11 on sarcopenia were identified for full-text screening. Full-text screening identified 54 studies on osteoporosis, 4 on sarcopenia, and 1 on both osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Results: A total of 69 miRs were identified for osteoporosis and 14 for sarcopenia. There were 9 shared miRs, with evidence of dysregulation (up- or down-regulation), in both osteoporosis and sarcopenia: miR-23a-3p, miR-29a, miR-93, miR-133a and b, miR-155, miR-206, miR-208, miR-222, and miR-328, with functions and targets implicated in the pathogenesis of osteosarcopenia. However, there was little agreement in the results across studies and insufficient data for miRs in sarcopenia, and only three miRs, miR-155, miR-206, and miR-328, showed the same direction of dysregulation (down-regulation) in both osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Additionally, for most identified miRs there has been no replication by more than one study, and this is particularly true for all miRs analyzed in sarcopenia. The study quality was typically rated intermediate/high risk of bias. The large heterogeneity of the studies made it impossible to perform a meta-analysis. Conclusions: The findings of this review are particularly novel, as miRs have not yet been explored in the context of osteosarcopenia. The dysregulation of miRs identified in this review may provide important clues to better understand the pathogenesis of osteosarcopenia, while also laying the foundations for further studies to lead to effective screening, monitoring, or treatment strategies.

Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms Associating Obesity to Bone Loss. Cells 2023; 12:cells12040521.

Abstract
Obesity is an alarming disease that favors the upset of other illnesses and enhances mortality. It is spreading fast worldwide may affect more than 1 billion people by 2030. The imbalance between excessive food ingestion and less energy expenditure leads to pathological adipose tissue expansion, characterized by increased production of proinflammatory mediators with harmful interferences in the whole organism. Bone tissue is one of those target tissues in obesity. Bone is a mineralized connective tissue that is constantly renewed to maintain its mechanical properties. Osteoblasts are responsible for extracellular matrix synthesis, while osteoclasts resorb damaged bone, and the osteocytes have a regulatory role in this process, releasing growth factors and other proteins. A balanced activity among these actors is necessary for healthy bone remodeling. In obesity, several mechanisms may trigger incorrect remodeling, increasing bone resorption to the detriment of bone formation rates. Thus, excessive weight gain may represent higher bone fragility and fracture risk. This review highlights recent insights on the central mechanisms related to obesity-associated abnormal bone. Publications from the last ten years have shown that the main molecular mechanisms associated with obesity and bone loss involve: proinflammatory adipokines and osteokines production, oxidative stress, non-coding RNA interference, insulin resistance, and changes in gut microbiota. The data collection unveils new targets for prevention and putative therapeutic tools against unbalancing bone metabolism during obesity.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are two common rheumatic disorders marked by persistent inflammatory joint disease. Patients with RA have osteodestructive symptoms, but those with AS have osteoproliferative manifestations. Ligaments, joints, tendons, bones, and muscles are all affected by rheumatic disorders. In recent years, many epigenetic factors contributing to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid disorders have been studied. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules implicated as potential therapeutic targets or biomarkers in rheumatic diseases. MiRNAs play a critical role in the modulation of bone homeostasis and joint remodeling by controlling fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), chondrocytes, and osteocytes. Several miRNAs have been shown to be dysregulated in rheumatic diseases, including miR-10a, 16, 17, 18a, 19, 20a, 21, 27a, 29a, 34a, 103a, 125b, 132, 137, 143, 145, 146a, 155, 192, 203, 221, 222, 301a, 346, and 548a.The major molecular pathways governed by miRNAs in these cells are Wnt, bone-morphogenic protein (BMP), nuclear factor (NF)-κB, receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK)-RANK ligand (RANKL), and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) receptor pathway. This review aimed to provide an overview of the most important signaling pathways controlled by miRNAs in rheumatic diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Peri-implantitis is characterized by peri-implant mucositis and alveolar bone resorption. This study investigated cholecystokinin (CCK) expression and the mechanism underlying its involvement in peri-implantitis. METHODS mRNA sequencing was performed using the Gene Expression Omnibus database GSE106090. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) were pretreated with various concentrations of CCK (0, 10, 30, or 100 nM) for 1 hour before induction in osteogenic differentiation medium for 2 weeks. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was determined, and the cells were stained with alizarin red. The expression levels of TNFα and the osteogenic markers ALP, RUNX2, and OCN were measured using quantitative real-time PCR. TNFα, phosphorylated P65, and total P65 levels were determined by western blot. RESULTS Compared with healthy individuals, 262 and 215 genes were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in the periodontal tissues of patients with peri-implantitis. CCK expression was significantly upregulated in patients with peri-implantitis. CCK reduced ALP activity, osteogenic differentiation, and levels of the osteogenic markers ALP, RUNX2, and OCN. Moreover, CCK promoted levels of TNFα and phosphorylated P65, which is a marker of activation for the NF-κB inflammatory pathway. CONCLUSIONS CCK regulates osteogenic differentiation through the TNFα/NF-κB axis in peri-implantitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare miRNA expression levels and predict relevant target genes and signaling pathways in peri-implantitis and periodontitis. BACKGROUND There are many differences between periodontitis and peri-implantitis. An understanding of the similarities and differences in the transcriptional patterns of these diseases, as well as the molecular mechanisms, is beneficial for the development of management strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rat models of periodontitis (PD, n = 6) and peri-implantitis (PI, n = 5) were established by ligation. Implantation without ligation (PIC, n = 5) and normal rats (PDC, n = 6) were used as controls. Micro-CT was used to confirm the successful establishment of the model. Gingiva was harvested for miRNA transcriptome sequencing, and the results were confirmed by qRT-PCR. miRNA target genes were predicted with miRTarBase. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed. RESULTS Sixty-nine miRNAs were differentially expressed in PI vs. PD, 105 were differentially expressed in PI vs. PIC, and 70 were differentially expressed in PD vs. PDC (log2 FC ≥1 and padj <0.05). The upregulated genes in all three comparisons were mostly involved in the biological process response to stimulus, whereas most of the downregulated genes were involved in nervous system development (p < .01). The upregulated genes in PI vs. PD and PI vs. PIC were involved in Toll-like receptor signaling and RIG-I-like signaling. The upregulated genes in PI vs. PD were involved in T- and B-cell receptor signaling, apoptosis, and osteoclast differentiation. Focal adhesion was downregulated in all three comparisons, and adherens junction was downregulated in PI vs. PD and PD vs. PDC (p < .1). CONCLUSION This study showed differences in the miRNA expression profiles between peri-implantitis and periodontitis and annotated the possible target genes and molecular mechanisms; this study could lay a foundation for the development of management strategies.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane vesicles that can be secreted by most cells. EVs can be released into the extracellular environment through exocytosis, transporting endogenous cargo (proteins, lipids, RNAs, etc.) to target cells and thereby triggering the release of these biomolecules and participating in various physiological and pathological processes. Among them, EVs derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC-EVs) have similar therapeutic effects to BMSCs, including repairing damaged tissues, inhibiting macrophage polarization and promoting angiogenesis. In addition, BMSC-EVs, as efficient and feasible natural nanocarriers for drug delivery, have the advantages of low immunogenicity, no ethical controversy, good stability and easy storage, thus providing a promising therapeutic strategy for many diseases. In particular, BMSC-EVs show great potential in the treatment of bone metabolic diseases. This article reviews the mechanism of BMSC-EVs in bone formation and bone resorption, which provides new insights for future research on therapeutic strategies for bone metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Our study showed that Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1 and STAT3 phosphorylation was firstly upregulated in the early stage of osteogenic differentiation (OD), and quickly eliminated in hours. Following with phosphorylation of STAT1/3, its downstream feedback regulator Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) protein also underwent a quick elevation. Further activation and deactivation of STAT1/3, by administrated with Colivelin and Nifuroxazide in Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), increased and decreased SOCS1 expression, inhibited and promoted OD of BMSCs, respectively, as evidenced by Alizarin staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and determination of Run-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), Osteocalcin (OCN), ALP, and Bone sialoprotein (BSP). In addition, administration of Colivelin and Nifuroxazide caused and blocked inflammation and apoptosis of BMSCs. To further elucidate the role of STAT1/3-SOCS1 regulatory loop on OD of BMSCs, we overexpressed or silenced SOCS1 in BMSCs during OD. WB data showed that overexpression of SOCS1 repressed STAT1/3 phosphorylation, and knockdown of SOCS1 increased the phosphorylated STAT1/3. Further mechanism study showed that OD of BMSCs was elevated or reduced by SOCS1 overexpression or knockdown, respectively. The findings presenting indicated that the STAT1/3-SOCS1 axis may be exploited as an innovative strategy to enhance osteogenesis in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Cytokine signaling represents one of the cornerstones of the immune system, mediating the complex responses required to facilitate appropriate immune cell development and function that supports robust immunity. It is crucial that these signals be tightly regulated, with dysregulation underpinning immune defects, including excessive inflammation, as well as contributing to various immune-related malignancies. A specialized family of proteins called suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) participate in negative feedback regulation of cytokine signaling, ensuring it is appropriately restrained. The eight SOCS proteins identified regulate cytokine and other signaling pathways in unique ways. SOCS1–3 and CISH are most closely involved in the regulation of immune-related signaling, influencing processes such polarization of lymphocytes and the activation of myeloid cells by controlling signaling downstream of essential cytokines such as IL-4, IL-6, and IFN-γ. SOCS protein perturbation disrupts these processes resulting in the development of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions as well as malignancies. As a consequence, SOCS proteins are garnering increased interest as a unique avenue to treat these disorders.

Abstract
The rising incidence of bone pathologies such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis is negatively affecting the functional status of millions of patients worldwide. The genetic component of these multifactorial pathologies is far from being fully understood, but in recent years several epigenetic mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of these bone diseases have been identified. The aim of the present study was to compare the serum expression of four miRNAs in women with hip fragility fracture (OF group), osteoarthritis requiring hip replacement (OA group) and control women (Ctrl group). Serum expression of miR-497-5p, miR-155-5p, miR-423-5p and miR-365-3p was determined in a sample of 23 OA women, 25 OF women and 52 Ctrl women. Data shown that women with bone pathologies have higher expression of miR-497 and miR-423 and lower expression of miR-155 and miR-365 than control subjects. Most importantly, miR-497 was identified as an excellent discriminator between OA group and control group (AUC: 0.89, p < 0.000) and acceptable in distinguishing from the OF group (AUC: 0.76, p = 0.002). Our data suggest that circulating miR-497 may represent a significant biomarker of OA, a promising finding that could contribute towards future early-stage diagnosis of this disease. Further studies are required to establish the role of miR-155, miR-423 and miR-365 in bone pathologies.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a prevalent chronic disease that results in loss of periodontal ligament and bone resorption. Triggered by pathogens and prolonged inflammation, periodontitis is modulated by the immune system, especially pro-inflammatory cells, such as T helper (Th) 17 cells. Originated from CD4+ Th cells, Th17 cells play a central role for they drive and regulate periodontal inflammation. Cytokines secreted by Th17 cells are also major players in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Given the importance of Th17 cells, modulators of Th17 cells are of great clinical potential and worth of discussion. This review aims to provide an overview of the current understanding of the effect of Th17 cells on periodontitis, as well as a brief discussion of current and potential therapies targeting Th17 cells. Lastly, we highlight this article by summarizing the causal relationship between A20 (encoded by TNFAIP3), an anti-inflammatory molecule, and Th17 cell differentiation.

Abstract
Cytokines are pleiotropic signaling molecules that execute an essential role in cell-to-cell communication through binding to cell surface receptors. Receptor binding activates intracellular signaling cascades in the target cell that bring about a wide range of cellular responses, including induction of cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and apoptosis. The Janus kinase and transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathways are activated upon cytokines and growth factors binding with their corresponding receptors. The SOCS family of proteins has emerged as a key regulator of cytokine signaling, and SOCS insufficiency leads to constitutive activation of JAK/STAT signaling and oncogenic transformation. Dysregulation of SOCS expression is linked to various solid tumors with invasive properties. However, the roles of SOCS in hematological malignancies, such as leukemia, are less clear. In this review, we discuss the recent advances pertaining to SOCS dysregulation in leukemia development and progression. We also highlight the roles of specific SOCS in immune cells within the tumor microenvironment and their possible involvement in anti-tumor immunity. Finally, we discuss the epigenetic, genetic, and post-transcriptional modifications of SOCS genes during tumorigenesis, with an emphasis on leukemia.

Abstract
Nutrition plays an important role in overall human health. Although there is no direct evidence supporting the direct involvement of nutrition in curing disease, for some diseases, good nutrition contributes to disease prevention and our overall well-being, including energy level, optimum internal function, and strength of the immune system. Lately, other major, but more silent players are reported to participate in the body’s response to ingested nutrients, as they are involved in different physiological and pathological processes. Furthermore, the genetic profile of an individual is highly critical in regulating these processes and their interactions. In particular, miR-155, a non-coding microRNA, is reported to be highly correlated with such nutritional processes. In fact, miR-155 is involved in the orchestration of various biological processes such as cellular signaling, immune regulation, metabolism, nutritional responses, inflammation, and carcinogenesis. Thus, this review aims to highlight those critical aspects of the influence of dietary components on gene expression, primarily on miR-155 and its role in modulating cancer-associated processes.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding conserved RNAs containing 19 to 24 nucleotides that are regulators of post-translational modifications and are involved in the majority of biological processes such as immune homeostasis, T helper cell differentiation, central and peripheral tolerance, and immune cell development. Autoimmune diseases are characterized by immune system dysregulation, which ultimately leads to destructive responses to self-antigens. A large body of literature suggests that autoimmune diseases and immune dysregulation are associated with different miRNA expression changes in the target cells and tissues of adaptive or innate immunity. miR-155 is identified as a critical modulator of immune responses. Recently conducted studies on the expression profile of miR-155 suggest that the altered expression and function of miR-155 can mediate vulnerability to autoimmune diseases and cause significant dysfunction of the immune system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular calcification (VC) is associated with the high morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases in dialysis patients and is a process in which vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) actively differentiate into osteoblast-like cells. Reticulocalbin-2 (RCN2) is involved in the process of osteogenic differentiation under diabetic conditions, but its regulatory role under hyperphosphatemic conditions and the related mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, the importance of the interactions among RCN2, STAT3 and miR-155-5p during the osteogenic differentiation and calcification of human aortic VSMCs (HASMCs) were investigated. METHODS RCN2 was measured in femoropopliteal artery plaque specimens from 6 peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 6 PAD patients without CKD. RCN2 protein and mRNA expression were assessed in the high phosphate-induced aortic rings culture ex vivo model. In vitro calcification assays and molecular mechanism studies were performed in HASMCs. RESULTS Immunohistochemical staining results revealed increased RCN2 expression in the calcified plaques of femoral arteries of patients with CKD and in a high phosphate-induced aortic culture ex vivo model. RCN2 promoted HASMCs osteogenic differentiation and calcification by inducing STAT3 phosphorylation. Furthermore, inhibition of STAT3 activation by cryptotanshinone (CT) promoted miR-155-5p expression in HASMCs. In turn, miR-155-5p inhibited RCN2 mRNA expression, while RCN2 overexpression partially offset the miR-155-5p-mediated inhibition of HASMC calcification, acting as a positive feedback loop. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that RCN2 is a crucial regulator of VC under hyperphosphatemic conditions. RCN2/STAT3/miR-155-5p feedback loop is important in VC and targeting each member of this feedback loop could potentially reverse high phosphate-induced VC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a key element resulting in low back pain, but the mechanisms underlying IDD remain largely unknown. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of microRNA-155-3p (miR-155-3p) on proliferation and autophagy of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in IDD with the involvement of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 α (HIF1α)/histone lysine demethylase 3A (KDM3A) axis. METHODS IDD NP tissues of patients with lumbar disc herniation and traumatic intervertebral disc NP tissues from patients with traumatic lumbar fracture were collected. Apoptosis in NP tissues was observed, and autophagy marker proteins in NP tissues were detected. NP cells in IDD were transfected with miR-155-3p mimic or KDM3A-siRNA to explore their roles in cell proliferation, autophagy and apoptosis. MiR-155-3p, KDM3A and HIF1α expression in NP tissues and cells were detected. RESULTS Decreased miR-155-3p, and elevated HIF1α and KDM3A were presented in NP tissues and cells of IDD. Elevated miR-155-3p or silenced KDM3A promoted the proliferation and autophagy, and inhibited the apoptosis of NP cells of IDD. Moreover, elevated miR-155-3p decreased KDM3A and HIF1α expression, while silenced KDM3A decreased HIF1α expression in NP cells with IDD. CONCLUSION The study concludes that up-regulated miR-155-3p or silenced KDM3A promotes the proliferation, autophagy, and restrains the apoptosis of NP cells of IDD via inhibition of HIF1α, which may be a promising approach for the treatment of IDD.

Abstract
Objective Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) confer therapeutic benefits in various pathologies and cancers by releasing extracellular vesicles (EVs) loaded with bioactive compounds. Herein, we identified bone marrow MSC (BMSC)-derived EVs harboring microRNA (miR)-29b-3p to regulate osteogenic differentiation through effects on the suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1)/nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway via targeting of lysine demethylase 5A (KDM5A) in osteoporosis. Methods We quantified the miR-29b-3p in BMSC-derived EVs from bone marrow specimens of osteoporotic patients and non-osteoporotic patients during total hip arthroplasty (THA). miR-29b-3p targeting KDM5A was confirmed by promoter luciferase assay, and enrichment of KDM5A in the promoter region of SOCS1 was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). The expression and translocation of NF-κB to the nucleus were detected by western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining, respectively. An ovariectomized (OVX) osteoporosis mouse model was established to further confirm the in vitro findings. Results BMSC-derived EVs of osteoporotic patients exhibited downregulated miR-29b-3p. EV-encapsulated miR-29b-3p from BMSCs potentiated osteogenic differentiation by specifically inhibiting KDM5A. KDM5A inhibited osteogenic differentiation by the regulation of H3K4me3 and H3K27ac of SOCS1. SOCS1 potentiated osteogenic differentiation by inhibiting NF-κB pathway. Conclusion EV-encapsulated miR-29b-3p derived from BMSCs potentiated osteogenic differentiation through blockade of the SOCS1/NF-κB pathway by inhibition of KDM5A.

In the present study, we investigated the effects of AFM1 on immune system and its modulation by MicroRNA (miR)-155. AFM1 was administered intraperitoneally at doses of 25 and 50 µg/kg for 28 days to Balb/c mice and different immune system parameters were analyzed. The levels of miR-155 and targeted proteins were evaluated in isolated T cells from spleens of mice. Spleen weight was reduced in mice exposed to AFM1 compared to negative control. Proliferation of splenocytes in response to phytohemagglutinin-A was reduced in mice exposed to AFM1. IFN-γ was decreased in mice exposed to AFM1, whereas IL-10 was increased. Concentration of IL-4 did not change different in mice exposed to AFM1 compared to negative control. Exposure to AFM1 reduced the expression of miR-155. Significant upregulation of phosphatidylinositol-3, 4, 5-trisphosphate 5-phosphatase 1 (Ship1) and suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (Socs1) was observed in isolated T cells from spleens of mice treated with AFM1, but the transcription factor Maf (c-MAF) was not affected. These results suggest that miR-155 and targeted proteins might be involved in the immunotoxicity observed in mice exposed to AFM1.

NUCLEIC ACIDS 2020; 23:565-576. [PMID: 33510944 PMCID: PMC7810916 DOI: 10.1016/j.omtn.2020.12.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 12/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
The pathogenesis of glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GIONFH) is still disputed, and abnormal bone metabolism caused by GCs may be an important factor. In vitro, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining were used to evaluate cellular proliferation, and western blotting was used to investigate osteogenesis. In vivo, we used micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), H&E staining, Masson staining, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis to evaluate the impact of exosomes. In addition, the mechanism by which exosomes regulate osteogenesis through the miR-365a-5p/Hippo signaling pathway was investigated using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), luciferase reporter assays, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and western blotting. The results of western blotting verified that the relevant genes in osteogenesis, including BMP2, Sp7, and Runx2, were upregulated. RNA-seq and qPCR of the exosome and Dex-treated exosome groups showed that miR-365a-5p was upregulated in the exosome group. Furthermore, we verified that miR-365a-5p promoted osteogenesis by targeting SAV1. Additional in vivo experiments revealed that exosomes prevented GIONFH in a rat model, as shown by micro-CT scanning and histological and IHC analysis. We concluded that exosomal miR-365a-5p was effective in promoting osteogenesis and preventing the development of GIONFH via activation of the Hippo signaling pathway in rats.

Abstract
Inflammatory alveolar bone defects are caused by periodontal pathogens, are one of the most common oral diseases in the clinic, and are characterized by periodontal support tissue damage. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can participate in a variety of inflammatory lesions and modulate bone metabolism through the posttranscriptional regulation of target genes. In recent years, studies have confirmed that some miRNAs play significant roles in the development of inflammatory alveolar bone defects. Therefore, we reviewed the correlation between miRNAs and inflammatory alveolar bone defects and elucidated the underlying mechanisms to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory alveolar bone defects.

[PMID: 33283469 PMCID: PMC7862172 DOI: 10.1111/os.12866] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2020] [Revised: 09/21/2020] [Accepted: 10/18/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To screen serum microRNAs (miRNAs) which could discriminate fracture status in postmenopausal women with or without diabetes. METHODS The miRNA expression profile dataset GSE70318 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. This dataset composed of 74 samples, among these, 55 postmenopausal women was selected for bioinformatics analysis, including 19 osteoporotic fracture patients with type-2 diabetes, 19 osteoporotic fracture patients without type-2 diabetes, and 17 healthy control subjects. These samples were divided into two groups: fracture patients with diabetes vs healthy subjects (FH group) and fracture patients without diabetes vs healthy subjects (DFH group). Then, the differentially expressed miRNA (DEMs) in FH group and DFH group were respectively identified. The target genes of DEMs were predicted, followed by functional enrichment analysis. Furthermore, DEMs related to long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were screened, and DEMs-lncRNA-target genes network was constructed. Subsequently, principal component analysis (PCA) of DEMs was performed to further explore the expression characteristics of the selected miRNAs in different types of fracture samples. Finally, the expression level of significant DEMs was calculated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to verify the accuracy of the results of bioinformatics analysis. RESULTS A total of 18 and 23 DEMs were identified in FH and DFH groups, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that genes in FH group were significantly enriched in regulation of transcription (GO: 0045449) and genes in DFH group were mainly enriched in cellular response to hormone stimulus (GO: 0032870). Meanwhile, pathway analysis indicated that genes in FH group were primarily enriched in T cell receptor signaling pathway (hsa04660) and genes in DFH group were mainly implicated in neurotrophin-signaling pathway (hsa04722). Moreover, the miRNA-lncRNA analysis revealed that miR-155-5p regulated by lncRNA MIR155HG was up-regulated in FH group; in addition, the miR-181c was significantly up-regulated and miR-375 was observably down-regulated in DFH group. Furthermore, PCA analysis suggested that the screened miRNAs were able to differentiate these two types of fractures in postmenopausal women. The miR-181c and miR-375 might be regarded as potential predictors for fracture, while miR-155-5p might be a candidate diagnostic biomarker for diabetic fracture. Finally, the results of qPCR were consistent with that of microarray data. CONCLUSIONS Overall, these three miRNAs might be regarded as potential diagnostic biomarkers to discriminate fracture status in postmenopausal women with and or without diabetes, and they served a putative role in the pathogenesis of these two diseases. However, these findings were only observed in serum samples and further clinical trials are urgently demanded to validate our results.

Abstract
Multiple local and systemic factors including inflammation influence bone regeneration. Several lines of evidence demonstrate that macrophages contribute to the immunological regulation of MSC and osteoblast function during bone regeneration. Recent studies demonstrate that macrophage polarization influences this regulatory process. In this manuscript, we investigated the paracrine functional role of naïve (M0), M1 and M2 polarized macrophage derived EVs in bone repair. Treatment of rat calvaria defects with no EVs, M0 EVs, M1 EVs, or M2 EVs revealed polarization-specific control of bone regeneration by macrophage EVs at 3 and 6 weeks. M0 and M2 EVs promoted repair/regeneration and M1 EVs inhibited bone repair. Pathway-specific studies conducted in cell culture showed that M1 EVs negatively regulated the BMP signaling pathway, specifically BMP2 and BMP9. In parallel, miRNA sequencing studies showed similar miRNA cargo in M0 and M2 EVs and different miRNA cargo in M1 EVs. Functional examination of M1 macrophage EV-enriched miR-155 demonstrated that miR-155 mimic treatment reduced MSC osteogenic differentiation as measured by reduced BMP2, BMP9 and RUNX2 expression when compared to controls. Conversely, treatment of MSCs with the M2 macrophage EV-enriched miR-378a mimic increased MSC osteoinductive gene expression when compared to controls. These functional studies implicate polarized macrophage EV miRNAs in the positive or negative regulation of bone regeneration that was observed in vivo. Overall, the results presented in this study indicate that macrophage polarization influences EV cargo and related EV function in the paracrine regulation of bone regeneration.

MiR-944/CISH mediated inflammation via STAT3 is involved in oral cancer malignance by cigarette smoking. Neoplasia 2020; 22:554-565.

Abstract
Down-regulation of CISH in OSCC tissues and cell lines. CISH mediates cellular functions through STAT3 inhibition. MiR-944 regulates cellular functions through direct binding of CISH. Cigarette smoking-mediated miR-944/CISH/STAT3 axis plays a role in oral carcinogenesis.
The cytokine-inducible Src homology 2-containing protein (CISH) is an endogenous suppressors of signal transduction and activator of transcription (STAT) and acts as a key negative regulator of inflammatory cytokine responses. Downregulation of CISH has been reported to associate with increased activation of STAT and enhanced inflammatory pathways. However, whether microRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in CISH/STAT regulation in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unknown. The expression of CISH on OSCC patients was determine by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. Specific targeting by miRNAs was determined by software prediction, luciferase reporter assay, and correlation with target protein expression. The functions of miR-944 and CISH were accessed by transwell migration and invasion analyses using gain- and loss-of-function approaches. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and qRT-PCR were used to evaluate the pro-inflammation cytokines expression under the miR-944, CISH, NNK or combinations treatment. We found that the CISH protein, which modulates STAT3 activity, as a direct target of miR-944. CISH protein was significantly down-regulated in OSCC patients and cell lines and its level was inversely correlated with miR-944 expression. The miR-944-induced STAT3 phosphorylation, pro-inflammation cytokines secretion, migration and invasion were abolished by CISH restoration, suggesting that the oncogenic activity of miR-944 is CISH dependent. Furthermore, tobacco extract (NNK) may contribute to miR-944 induction and STAT3 activation. Antagomir-mediated inactivation of miR-944 prevented the NNK-induced STAT3 phosphorylation and pro-inflammation cytokines secretion. Altogether, these data demonstrate that NNK-induced miR944 expression plays an important role in CISH/STAT3-mediated inflammatory response and activation of tumor malignancy.

Duck Tembusu virus promotes the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 by downregulating miR-148a-5p to facilitate virus replication. INFECTION GENETICS AND EVOLUTION 2020; 85:104392.

Abstract
Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV), an emerging infectious pathogen, has caused severe disease in ducks and huge economic losses to the poultry industry in China since 2009. Despite considerable advances in understanding the effects of microRNAs on host antiviral immune responses, it remains unclear how miRNAs regulate DTMUV replication in duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) cells. This study aims to clarify the role of host microRNA-148a-5p (miR-148a-5p) in regulating DTMUV replication by targeting SOCS1. First, we found that during DTMUV infection, the expression of miR-148a-5p in DEFs was downregulated in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner, while the expression of SOCS1 was significantly upregulated. In addition, we found that when miR-148a-5p mimics were transfected into DEFs, viral RNA copies, viral E protein expression levels and viral titres, which represent viral replication and proliferation, were significantly downregulated, while the opposite result was observed when miR-148a-5p inhibitor was transfected into DEFs. Next, we found that SOCS1 was the target gene of miR-148a-5p through software analysis. Therefore, we further confirmed that SOCS1 was the target of miR-148a-5p and that miR-148a-5p could negatively regulate the expression of SOCS1 at the mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, our results indicated that overexpression of SOCS1 promoted DTMUV replication, while knockdown of SOCS1 inhibited DTMUV replication. Finally, we found that in DTMUV-infected DEFs, the overexpression of SOCS1 inhibited the production of IFN-α and IFN-β, while knocking down SOCS1 produced the opposite result. This indicates that during DTMUV infection, the virus promotes the expression of SOCS1 by downregulating the expression of miR-148a-5p, while the upregulation of SOCS1 suppresses the production of type I interferon and promotes virus replication. Taken together, these findings provide new insights into virus-host interactions during DTMUV infection and provide potential new antiviral treatment strategies for DTMUV infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder that increases bone fragility and the risk of fractures. Recent studies have shown that miRNAs possess a pivotal role in osteoporosis development. This study aimed to evaluate the expression profiles of sera miRNA-208a-3p, miRNA-155-5p, and miRNA-637, to examine relation to osteoporosis and suggest the possible mechanisms of action to be used as innovative biomarkers for the diagnosis of osteoporosis among pre- and postmenopausal females. SUBJECT AND METHOD In this pilot study, the blood samples were collected from 140 women who were divided depending on DEXA results (T-score) as following; osteoporotic patients with T-score ≤ -2.5 and healthy controls with T-score ≥ -1. Then, each group was subdivided into pre- and postmenopausal females (each, n = 35). The expression profiles of the studied miRNAs were measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS Serum miRNA-208a-3p was significantly upregulated, whereas miRNA-155-5p was markedly downregulated in the premenopausal patients compared to its respective controls. However, the miRNA-637 level showed a non-significant decrease in premenopausal patients than their controls. Moreover, the three studied miRNAs were significantly upregulated in the postmenopausal patients when compared to their respective controls, and premenopausal osteoporotic ones. CONCLUSION Differential expression of these miRNAs suggests their association with osteoporosis pathogenesis and elucidate their promising roles in the diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Wang X, Tang K, Wang Y, Chen Y, Yang M, Gu C, Wang J, Wang Y, Yuan Y. Elevated microRNA‑145‑5p increases matrix metalloproteinase‑9 by activating the nuclear factor‑κB pathway in rheumatoid arthritis. Mol Med Rep 2019; 20:2703-2711. [PMID: 31322192 PMCID: PMC6691224 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2019.10499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2018] [Accepted: 04/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study explored whether miR‑145‑5p can aggravate the development and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by regulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). ELISAs, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR), and western blotting were used to examine the expression levels of MMP‑1, MMP‑3, MMP‑9, and MMP‑13 in fibroblast‑like synoviocytes (FLS) from patients with RA. Levels of MMP‑1, MMP‑3, MMP‑9, and MMP‑13 were assessed in the right hind ankles of a murine collagen‑induced arthritis (CIA) model by RT‑qPCR and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis. The effects of activation or inhibition of the nuclear factor‑κB (NF‑κB) pathway on MMPs were evaluated by RT‑qPCR and western blotting. Subcellular localization of NF‑κB p65 was visualized by confocal microscopy. Overexpression of miR‑145‑5p increased the expression of MMP‑3, MMP‑9, and MMP‑13 in RA‑FLS. Moreover, injection of a miR‑145‑5p agomir into mice increased MMP‑3, MMP‑9, and MMP‑13, as demonstrated by RT‑qPCR and IHC analysis. A chemical inhibitor that selectively targets NF‑κB (BAY11‑7082) significantly attenuated MMP‑9 expression, while it did not influence the levels of MMP‑3 and MMP‑13. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that nuclear localization of p65 was significantly enhanced, indicating that miR‑145‑5p enhances activation of the NF‑κB pathway by promoting p65 nuclear translocation. miR‑145‑5p overexpression also significantly increased phosphorylated p65 levels; however, the levels of IkB‑a were reduced in response to this miRNA. Moreover, our results indicated that miR‑145‑5p aggravated RA progression by activating the NF‑κB pathway, which enhanced secretion of MMP‑9. In conclusion, modulation of miR‑145‑5p expression is potentially useful for the treatment of RA inflammation, by regulating the expression of MMPs, and MMP‑9 in particular, through inhibition of the NF‑κB pathway.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are fine regulators of the whole-body adaptive response but their use as biomarkers is limited by the lack of standardized pre- and post-analytical procedures. This work aimed to compare different normalization approaches for RT-qPCR data analyses, in order to identify the most reliable and reproducible method to analyze circulating miRNA expression profiles in sedentary and highly-trained subjects. As the physically active status is known to affect miRNA expression, they could be effective biomarkers of the homeostatic response. Following RNA extraction from plasma, a panel of 179 miRNAs was assayed by RT-qPCR and quantified by applying different normalization strategies based on endogenous miRNAs and exogenous oligonucleotides. hsa-miR-320d was found as the most appropriate reference miRNA in reducing the technical variability among the experimental replicates and, hence, in highlighting the inter-cohorts differences. Our data showed an association between the physically active status and specific skeletal muscle- and bone-associated circulating miRNAs profiles, revealing that established epigenetic modifications affect the baseline physiological status of these tissues. Since different normalization strategies led to different outputs, in order to avoid misleading interpretation of data, we remark the importance of the accurate choice of the most reliable normalization method in every experimental setting.

Abstract
In the inflamed microenvironment of peri-implantitis, limited osteogenesis on the implant surface impedes well-established reosseointegration using current clinical therapies. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function as potent molecular managers that may simultaneously regulate multiple endogenous processes such as inflammation and osteogenesis. The delivery of miRNAs may provide a way to effectively treat some diseases. In this study, we showed that miR-27a was differentially downregulated in samples from a canine peri-implantitis model. We found that overexpressing miR-27a positively regulated osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling by ameliorating the TNF-α inhibition of bone formation in vitro. Mechanistically, we identified Dickkopf2 (DKK2) and secreted frizzled related protein 1 (SFRP1) as two essential direct miR-27a targets that were osteogenic and angiogenic. Furthermore, we constructed a miR-27a-enhanced delivery system to repair the bone defect around implants in a canine peri-implantitis model. The results demonstrated that the miR-27a-treated group could optimize new bone formation and reosseointegration in vivo. Our assay provides evidence that this strategy exerts therapeutic effects on peri-implantitis, suggesting that it represents a feasible method to maintain the stability and masticatory function of dental implants. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Porphyromonas endodontalis (P. endodontalis) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is associated with the progression of bone resorption in periodontal and periapical diseases. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expression and activity are elevated in apical periodontitis and have been suggested to participate in bone resorption. Therefore, inhibiting MMP-2 activation may be considered a therapeutic strategy for treating apical periodontitis. Resveratrol is a natural non-flavonoid polyphenol that has been reported to have antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the capacity of resveratrol to protect osteoblast cells from P. endodontalis LPS insults and the mechanism of its inhibitory effects on MMP-2 activation is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that cell viability is unchanged when 10 mg L−1P. endodontalis LPS is used, and MMP-2 expression is drastically induced by P. endodontalis LPS in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Twenty micromolar resveratrol did not reduce MC3T3-E1 cell viability. Resveratrol increased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation, and Compound C, a specific AMPK inhibitor, partially abolished the resveratrol-mediated phosphorylation of AMPK. In addition, AMPK inhibition blocked the effects of resveratrol on MMP-2 expression and activity in LPS-induced MC3T3-E1 cells. Treatment with resveratrol also induced suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) expression in MC3T3-E1 cells. SOCS1 siRNA negated the inhibitory effects of resveratrol on LPS-induced MMP-2 production. Additionally, resveratrol-induced SOCS1 upregulation was reduced by treatment with compound C. These results demonstrate that AMPK and SOCS1 activation are important signaling events during resveratrol-mediated inhibition of MMP-2 production in response to LPS in MC3T3-E1 cells, and there is crosstalk between AMPK and SOCS1 signaling.

Abstract
The alteration of age‐related molecules in the bone marrow microenvironment is one of the driving forces in osteoporosis. These molecules inhibit bone formation and promote bone resorption by regulating osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity, contributing to age‐related bone loss. Here, we observed that the level of microRNA‐31a‐5p (miR‐31a‐5p) was significantly increased in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) from aged rats, and these BMSCs demonstrated increased adipogenesis and aging phenotypes as well as decreased osteogenesis and stemness. We used the gain‐of‐function and knockdown approach to delineate the roles of miR‐31a‐5p in osteogenic differentiation by assessing the decrease of special AT‐rich sequence‐binding protein 2 (SATB2) levels and the aging of BMSCs by regulating the decline of E2F2 and recruiting senescence‐associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF). Notably, expression of miR‐31a‐5p, which promotes osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption, was markedly higher in BMSCs‐derived exosomes from aged rats compared to those from young rats, and suppression of exosomal miR‐31a‐5p inhibited the differentiation and function of osteoclasts, as shown by elevated RhoA activity. Moreover, using antagomiR‐31a‐5p, we observed that, in the bone marrow microenvironment, inhibition of miR‐31a‐5p prevented bone loss and decreased the osteoclastic activity of aged rats. Collectively, our results reveal that miR‐31a‐5p acts as a key modulator in the age‐related bone marrow microenvironment by influencing osteoblastic and osteoclastic differentiation and that it may be a potential therapeutic target for age‐related osteoporosis.

Inhibition of microRNA-138 enhances bone formation in multiple myeloma bone marrow niche. Leukemia 2018; 32:1739-1750.

Abstract
Myeloma bone disease is a devastating complication of multiple myeloma (MM) and is caused by dysregulation of bone remodeling processes in the bone marrow microenvironment. Previous studies showed that microRNA-138 (miR-138) is a negative regulator of osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and that inhibiting its function enhances bone formation in vitro. In this study, we explored the role of miR-138 in myeloma bone disease and evaluated the potential of systemically delivered locked nucleic acid (LNA)-modified anti-miR-138 oligonucleotides in suppressing myeloma bone disease. We showed that expression of miR-138 was significantly increased in MSCs from MM patients (MM-MSCs) and myeloma cells compared to those from healthy subjects. Furthermore, inhibition of miR-138 resulted in enhanced osteogenic differentiation of MM-MSCs in vitro and increased the number of endosteal osteoblastic lineage cells (OBCs) and bone formation rate in mouse models of myeloma bone disease. RNA sequencing of the OBCs identified TRPS1 and SULF2 as potential miR-138 targets that were de-repressed in anti-miR-138-treated mice. In summary, these data indicate that inhibition of miR-138 enhances bone formation in MM and that pharmacological inhibition of miR-138 could represent a new therapeutic strategy for treatment of myeloma bone disease.

Abstract
Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV), belonging to the Flaviviridae family, is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus. Since April 2010, the outbreak of DTMUV in southeast provinces of China has caused great economic losses. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important regulatory roles in viral infection through binding to the host target genes or the viral genomes. To better understanding the molecular mechanisms of virus-host interaction, here we identified the miRNA expression profiles in DTMUV-infected and uninfected DEF cells by high-throughput sequencing. A total of 287 known and 63 novel miRNAs were identified. 48 miRNAs, including 26 known miRNAs and 22 novel miRNAs, were differentially expressed in response to DTMUV infection. Among these miRNAs, 37 miRNAs were up-regulated and 11 miRNAs were down-regulated. 9 miRNAs were randomly selected for validation by qRT-PCR experiment. The results of qRT-PCR experiment were consistent with the sequencing data. GO enrichment showed that the predicted targets of these differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly involved in the regulation of immune system, cellular process and metabolic process. KEGG pathways analysis showed that predicted target genes were involved in several signaling pathways such as Wnt signaling pathway, TGF-beta signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway and FoxO signaling pathway. This is the first study to evaluate changes of miRNA expression in DEF cells upon DTMUV infection. Our findings provide important clues for better understanding the DTMUV-host interaction.

MicroRNA-155 inhibits the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells induced by BMP9 via downregulation of BMP signaling pathway. Int J Mol Med 2018; 41:3379-3393.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) can promote the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and increase bone formation in bone diseases. However, the mechanisms involved remained poorly understood. It is necessary to investigate the specific regulatory mechanisms of osteogenic differentiation that were induced by BMP9. During the process of osteogenic differentiation induced by BMP9, the expression of microRNA-155 (miR-155) exhibited a tendency of increasing at first and then decreasing, which made us consider that miR-155 may have a modulatory role in this process, but the roles of this process have not been elucidated. This study aimed to uncover miR-155 capable of concomitant regulation of this process. mmu-miR-155 mimic (miR-155) was transfected into MSCs and osteogenesis was induction by using recombinant adenovirus expressing BMP9. Overexpressed miR-155 in MSCs led to a decrease in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and Alizarin red S staining during osteogenic differentiation, and reduced the expression of osteogenesis-related genes, such as runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osterix (OSX), osteocalcin (OCN) and osteopontin (OPN). On protein levels, overexpressed miR-155 markedly decreased the expression of phosphorylated Smad1/5/8 (p-Smad1/5/8), Runx2, OCN and OPN. Luciferase reporter assay revealed Runx2 and bone morphogenetic protein receptor 9 (BMPR2) are two direct target genes of miR-155. Downregulation of the expression of Runx2 and BMPR2, respectively could offset the inhibitory effect of miR-155 in the osteogenesis of MSCs. In vivo, subcutaneous ectopic osteogenesis of MSCs in nude mice showed miR-155 inhibited osteogenic differentiation. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that miR-155 can inhibit the osteogenic differentiation induced by BMP9 in MSCs.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and ideal adult stem cells for alveolar bone regeneration considerably help restore the structure and function of the periodontium and promote the healing of periodontal disease. Thus, BMSC features, especially the mechanism of osteogenic differentiation, has recently become a research hotspot. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), which is the main factor in the periodontal inflammatory microenvironment, is directly related to the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Exploring the TNF-α-regulated differentiation mechanism of BMSCs aids in the search for new treatment targets. Such investigation also promotes the development of stem cell therapy for periodontal diseases. This article aims to describe the potential of TNF-α in regulating the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small RNAs that control gene expression in all aspects of eukaryotic life, primarily through RNA silencing mechanisms. The purpose of the present review is to introduce key miRNAs involved in periodontal homeostasis, summarize the mechanisms by which they affect downstream genes and tissues, and provide an introduction into the therapeutic potential of periodontal miRNAs. In general, miRNAs function synergistically to fine-tune the regulation of biological processes and to remove expression noise rather than by causing drastic changes in expression levels. In the periodontium, miRNAs play key roles in development and periodontal homeostasis and during the loss of periodontal tissue integrity as a result of periodontal disease. As part of the anabolic phase of periodontal homeostasis and periodontal development, miRNAs direct periodontal fibroblasts toward alveolar bone lineage differentiation and new bone formation through WNT, bone morphogenetic protein, and Notch signaling pathways. miRNAs contribute equally to the catabolic aspect of periodontal homeostasis as they affect osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast function, either by directly promoting osteoclast activity or by inhibiting osteoclast signaling intermediaries or through negative feedback loops. Their small size and ability to target multiple regulatory networks of related sets of genes have predisposed miRNAs to become ideal candidates for drug delivery and tissue regeneration. To address the immense therapeutic potential of miRNAs and their antagomirs, an ever growing number of delivery approaches toward clinical applications have been developed, including nanoparticle carriers and secondary structure interference inhibitor systems. However, only a fraction of the miRNAs involved in periodontal health and disease are known today. It is anticipated that continued research will lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the periodontal miRNA world, and a systematic effort toward harnessing the enormous therapeutic potential of these small molecules will greatly benefit the future of periodontal patient care.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to explore the microRNA profile and the effect of microRNA-155 on apoptosis in the spleen of selenium-deficient broilers. We replicated the splenic-apoptotic model in selenium-deficient broilers. In vitro, microRNA-155 oligonucleotides were transfected into lymphocytes and subsequently treated with H2O2. We observed that selenium deficiency altered the microRNA profile and decreased the expression of microRNA-155 in the broiler spleens. Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1B was verified as a target of microRNA-155 in the splenocytes. Morphological changes, increased levels of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1B, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, Bak, Bax, Cyt-c, caspase9 and caspase3 and decreased levels of Bcl-2 demonstrated that selenium deficiency induced apoptosis in the spleen tissues. In vitro, microRNA-155 m inhibited the levels of ROS and reduced apoptosis compared with microRNA-155i in the lymphocytes. These results suggested that the reduced levels of microRNA-155 due to selenium deficiency could promote oxidative stress-induced apoptosis by increased tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1B in splenic cells.

Abstract
microRNAs comprise a novel class of endogenous small non-coding RNAs that have been shown to be implicated in both vascular damage and bone pathophysiology. Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is characterized by vessel and bone damage secondary to progressive loss of kidney function. In this review, we will describe how several microRNAs have been implicated, in recent years, in cellular and animal models of CKD-MBD, and have been very recently shown to be deregulated in patients with CKD. Particular emphasis has been placed on the endothelial-specific miR-126, a potential biomarker of endothelial dysfunction, and miR-155 and miR-223, which play a role in both vascular smooth muscle cells and osteoclasts, with an impact on the vascular calcification and osteoporosis process. Finally, as these microRNAs may constitute useful targets to prevent or treat complications of CKD-MBD, we will discuss their potential as innovative drugs, describe how they could be delivered in a timely and specific way to vessels and bone by using the most recent techniques such as nanotechnology, viral vectors or CRISPR gene targeting.

Abstract
miRNAs as non-coding, short, double-stranded RNA segments are important for cellular biological functions, such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. miRNAs mainly contribute to the inhibition of important protein translations through their cleavage or direct repression of target messenger RNAs expressions. In the last decade, miRNAs got in the focus of interest with new publications on miRNAs in the context of different diseases. For many types of cancer or myocardial damage, typical signatures of local or systemically circulating miRNAs have already been described. However, little is known about miRNA expressions and their molecular effect in skeletal diseases. An overview of published studies reporting miRNAs detection linked with skeletal diseases was conducted. All regulated miRNAs were summarized and their molecular interactions were illustrated. This review summarizes the involvement and interaction of miRNAs in different skeletal diseases. Thereby, 59 miRNAs were described to be deregulated in tissue, cells, or in the circulation of osteoarthritis (OA), 23 miRNAs deregulated in osteoporosis, and 107 miRNAs deregulated in osteosarcoma (OS). The molecular influences of miRNAs regarding OA, osteoporosis, and OS were illustrated. Specific miRNA signatures for skeletal diseases are described in the literature. Some overlapped, but also unique ones for each disease exist. These miRNAs may present useful targets for the development of new therapeutic approaches and are candidates for diagnostic evaluations.

Abstract
The skeleton represents a common site of metastases for osteotropic cancers such as prostate and breast tumors and novel therapeutic targets and new markers for the monitoring of bone lesions are urgently needed. The formation of bone metastases is a complex process that starts at the level of the confined tumor and that is characterized by a dynamic crosstalk between the primary cancer and the future metastatic site, the bone. Factors released by the primary tumor contribute to prepare a fertile “soil”, where a “pre-metastatic niche” is established prior to future colonization by cancer cells. When the primary cancer progress from the confined disease to its invasive phase, tumor cells will acquire an invasive phenotype, enter into the circulation and colonize the previously prepared site where they will establish a “metastatic niche”. Among the variety of molecules that participate in the metastatic cascade, microRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNA that play an important role in the development of metastatic bone lesions. Many studies have addressed the role of small non-coding RNAs (miRs) in metastasis in osteotropic cancers and have highlighted the role of miRs as oncogenes (oncomiRs) or tumor suppressor miRs. In this review we present describe the role of miRs in the processing of the supportive bone microenvironment prior and after the bone colonization by cancer cells. Finally, future therapeutic strategies and perspectives are also discussed.

Abstract
Osteogenic differentiation and bone formation is suppressed under condition of inflammation induced by proinflammation cytokines. A number of studies indicate miRNAs play a significant role in tumor necrosis factor-α-induced inhibition of bone formation, but whether long non-coding RNAs are also involved in this process remains unknown. In this study, we evaluated the role of MIR31HG in osteogenesis of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) in vitro and in vivo. The results suggested that knockdown of MIR31HG not only significantly promoted osteogenic differentiation, but also dramatically overcame the inflammation-induced inhibition of osteogenesis in hASCs. Mechanistically, we found MIR31HG regulated bone formation and inflammation via interacting with NF-κB. The p65 subunit bound to the MIR31HG promoter and promoted MIR31HG expression. In turn, MIR31HG directly interacted with IκBα and participated in NF-κB activation, which builds a regulatory circuitry with NF-κB. Targeting this MIR31HG-NF-κB regulatory loop may be helpful to improve the osteogenic capacity of hASCs under inflammatory microenvironment in bone tissue engineering. Stem Cells 2016;34:2707-2720.
