[PMID: 38488394 PMCID: PMC10986489 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.03894-23] [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: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Recently, Enterococcus has been shown to have gastric protective functions, and the mechanisms by which Enterococcus modulates gastric function are still being investigated. Herein, we investigated how Enterococcus faecium (Efm) and E. faecium-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) (EfmEVs) exert protective effect against ethanol-induced gastric injury by investigating the effect of EfmEVs on gastric mucosal ulcer scoring, histological lesion, mucosal glycoprotein production, acidity, anti-oxidative function, and inflammatory responses in rat. Pretreatment with Efm showed significant reduction of ethanol-induced gastric injury, as evidenced by the lowering of ulcer index, histological lesion, gastric pH, and inflammatory responses and the enhancement of mucosal glycoprotein production and anti-oxidative function. Further functional studies on three bioactive components [inactivated Efm, EfmEVs (EVs), and EV-free supernatants] of the bacterial culture showed that EVs are mostly responsible for the gastroprotective effect. Moreover, EV secretion is beneficial for the gastroprotective effect of Efm. Hence, EVs mediated the protective effect of Efm against ethanol-induced gastric injury by lowering inflammatory responses and enhancing anti-oxidative function and may be a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative strategy to alleviate hyperinflammatory gastrointestinal tract conditions.IMPORTANCEThis study indicated that Enterococcus faecium provided a protective effect against rat gastric injury, which involved improvement of the mucosal glycoprotein production, anti-oxidative function, and inflammatory responses. Furthermore, we confirmed that three bioactive components (inactivated Efm, extracellular vesicles, and EV-free supernatants) of E. faecium culture also contributed to the gastroprotective effect. Importantly, E. faecium-derived EVs showed an effective impact for the gastroprotective effect.

Deng Y, Phillips K, Feng ZP, Smith PN, Li RW. Aseptic loosening around total joint replacement in humans is regulated by miR-1246 and miR-6089 via the Wnt signalling pathway. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:94. [PMID: 38287447 PMCID: PMC10823634 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04578-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total joint replacement for osteoarthritis is one of the most successful surgical procedures in modern medicine. However, aseptic loosening continues to be a leading cause of revision arthroplasty. The diagnosis of aseptic loosening remains a challenge as patients are often asymptomatic until the late stages. MicroRNA (miRNA) has been demonstrated to be a useful diagnostic tool and has been successfully used in the diagnosis of other diseases. We aimed to identify differentially expressed miRNA in the plasma of patients with aseptic loosening. METHODS Adult patients undergoing revision arthroplasty for aseptic loosening and age- and gender-matched controls were recruited. Samples of bone, tissue and blood were collected, and RNA sequencing was performed in 24 patients with aseptic loosening and 26 controls. Differentially expressed miRNA in plasma was matched to differentially expressed mRNA in periprosthetic bone and tissue. Western blot was used to validate protein expression. RESULTS Seven miRNA was differentially expressed in the plasma of patients with osteolysis (logFC >|2|, adj-P < 0.05). Three thousand six hundred and eighty mRNA genes in bone and 427 mRNA genes in tissue samples of osteolysis patients were differentially expressed (logFC >|2|, adj-P < 0.05). Gene enrichment analysis and pathway analysis revealed two miRNA (miR-1246 and miR-6089) had multiple gene targets in the Wnt signalling pathway in the local bone and tissues which regulate bone metabolism. CONCLUSION These results suggest that aseptic loosening may be regulated by miR-1246 and miR-6089 via the Wnt signalling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to clarify the mechanism underlying dental pulp cells-extracellular vesicles (DPC-EVs) carrying runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) in mediating odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) with the involvement of miR-30a-5p-regulated NOTCH1. METHODS Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were isolated from human DPSCs, and identified using transmission electron microscopy, and nanoparticle tracking analysis. PBS, EVs, or EV inhibitor GW4869 was added to DPSCs for co-culture, whilst odontogenic differentiation was assessed in terms of ratio of mineralized nodules and expression odontoblast differentiation markers. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation for binding relation among RUNX3, miR-30a-5p and NOTCH1were employed to evaluate their roles in odontogenic differentiation was determined. Animal experiment was established to confirm the effect of DPC-EVs-loaded RUNX3 on dental pulp. RESULTS In vitro finding demonstrated that EVs delivered RUNX3 to DPSCs, thereby activated miR-30a-5p expression and inhibited NOTCH1 expression, which was reversed by addition of GW4869. RUNX3 upregulation promoted miR-30a-5p while miR-30a-5p targeted and inhibited NOTCH1. Silencing of RUNX3 in EVs decreased expression of those differentiation markers, downregulated miR-30a-5p and upregulated NOTCH1. CONCLUSION DPSC-EVs can carry RUNX3 to the DPSCs, promote the transcription of miR-30a-5p, and then inhibit the expression of NOTCH1, and finally promote the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), short, highly conserved non-coding RNA, influence gene expression by sequential mechanisms such as mRNA breakdown or translational repression. Many biological processes depend on these regulating substances, thus changes in their expression have an impact on the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and result in the emergence of a variety of diseases. Relevant studies have shown in recent years that miRNAs are involved in many stages of bone development and growth. Additionally, abnormal production of miRNA in bone tissues has been closely associated with the development of numerous bone disorders, such as osteonecrosis, bone cancer, and bone metastases. Many pathological processes, including bone loss, metastasis, the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells, and differentiation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, are under the control of miRNAs. By bringing together the most up-to-date information on the clinical relevance of miRNAs in such diseases, this study hopes to further the study of the biological features of miRNAs in bone disorders and explore their potential as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Bone is the main site of metastasis from prostate cancer; therefore, it is important to investigate the microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNA associated with bone metastases from prostate cancer. Since an appropriate mechanical environment is important in the growth of bone, in the present study, the miRNA, mRNA, and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) profiles of mechanically strained osteoblasts treated with conditioned medium (CM) from PC-3 prostate cancer cells were studied. MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells were treated with the CM of PC-3 prostate cancer cells and were simultaneously stimulated with a mechanical tensile strain of 2,500 µε at 0.5 Hz; the osteoblastic differentiation of the MC3T3-E1 cells was then assessed. In addition, the differential expression levels of mRNA, miRNA and lncRNA in MC3T3-E1 cells treated with the CM of PC-3 cells were screened, and some of the miRNAs and mRNAs were verified by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The signal molecules and signaling pathways associated with osteogenic differentiation were predicted by bioinformatics analysis. The CM of PC-3 prostate cancer cells suppressed osteoblastic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. A total of seven upregulated miRNAs and 12 downregulated miRNAs were selected by sequencing and further verified using RT-qPCR, and related differentially expressed genes (11 upregulated and 12 downregulated genes) were also selected by sequencing and further verified using RT-qPCR; subsequently, according to the enrichment of differentially expressed genes in signaling pathways, nine signaling pathways involved in osteogenic differentiation were screened out. Furthermore, a functional mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA regulatory network was constructed. The differentially expressed miRNAs, mRNAs and lncRNAs may provide a novel signature in bone metastases of prostate cancer. Notably, some of the signaling pathways and related genes may be associated with pathological osteogenic differentiation caused by bone metastasis of prostate cancer.

Yan L, Liao L, Su X. Role of mechano-sensitive non-coding RNAs in bone remodeling of orthodontic tooth movement: recent advances. Prog Orthod 2022; 23:55. [PMID: 36581789 PMCID: PMC9800683 DOI: 10.1186/s40510-022-00450-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement relies on bone remodeling and periodontal tissue regeneration in response to the complicated mechanical cues on the compressive and tensive side. In general, mechanical stimulus regulates the expression of mechano-sensitive coding and non-coding genes, which in turn affects how cells are involved in bone remodeling. Growing numbers of non-coding RNAs, particularly mechano-sensitive non-coding RNA, have been verified to be essential for the regulation of osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis and have revealed how they interact with signaling molecules to do so. This review summarizes recent findings of non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, as crucial regulators of gene expression responding to mechanical stimulation, and outlines their roles in bone deposition and resorption. We focused on multiple mechano-sensitive miRNAs such as miR-21, - 29, -34, -103, -494-3p, -1246, -138-5p, -503-5p, and -3198 that play a critical role in osteogenesis function and bone resorption. The emerging roles of force-dependent regulation of lncRNAs in bone remodeling are also discussed extensively. We summarized mechano-sensitive lncRNA XIST, H19, and MALAT1 along with other lncRNAs involved in osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. Ultimately, we look forward to the prospects of the novel application of non-coding RNAs as potential therapeutics for tooth movement and periodontal tissue regeneration.

MicroRNA Modulation during Orthodontic Tooth Movement: A Promising Strategy for Novel Diagnostic and Personalized Therapeutic Interventions. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232415501.

Abstract
The Orthodontic Tooth Movement (OTM) is allowed through a mediated cell/tissue mechanism performed by applying a force or a pair of forces on the dental elements, and the tooth movement is a fundamental requirement during any orthodontic treatment. In this regard, it has been widely shown that each orthodontic treatment has a minimum duration required concerning numerous factors (age, patient compliance, type of technique used, etc.). In this regard, the aim of the following revision of the literature is to give readers a global vision of principal microRNAs (miRNAs) that are most frequently associated with OTM and their possible roles. Previously published studies of the last 15 years have been considered in the PubMed search using "OTM" and "miRNA" keywords for the present review article. In vitro and in vivo studies and clinical trials were mainly explored. Correlation between OTM and modulation of several miRNAs acting through post-transcriptional regulation on target genes was observed in the majority of previous studied. The expression analysis of miRNAs in biological samples, such as gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), can be considered a useful tool for novel diagnostic and/or prognostic approaches and for new personalized orthodontic treatments able to achieve a better clinical response rate. Although only a few studies have been published, the data obtained until now encourage further investigation of the role of miRNA modulation during orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study is to update the insights into the role and impact of principal micro-RNAs (miRNAs) that are most frequently associated during OTM.

Abstract
The maintenance of bone homeostasis includes both bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. These two processes are in dynamic balance to maintain a constant amount of bone for accomplishing its critical functions in daily life. Multiple cell type communications are involved in these two complex and continuous processes. In recent decades, an increasing number of studies have shown that osteogenic and osteoclastic extracellular vesicles play crucial roles in regulating bone homeostasis through paracrine, autosecretory and endocrine signaling. Elucidating the functional roles of extracellular vesicles in the maintenance of bone homeostasis may contribute to the design of new strategies for bone regeneration. Hence, we review the recent understandings of the classification, production process, extraction methods, structure, contents, functions and applications of extracellular vesicles in bone homeostasis. We highlight the contents of various bone-derived extracellular vesicles and their interactions with different cells in the bone microenvironment during bone homeostasis. We also summarize the recent advances in EV-loaded biomaterial scaffolds for bone regeneration and repair.

Abstract
Bone tissue remodeling is a highly regulated process balancing bone formation and resorption through complex cellular crosstalk between resident bone and microenvironment cells. This cellular communication is mediated by direct cell and cell–matrix contact, autocrine, endocrine, and paracrine receptor mediated mechanisms such as local soluble signaling molecules and extracellular vesicles including nanometer sized exosomes. An impairment in this balanced process leads to development of pathological conditions. Bone tissue engineering is an emerging interdisciplinary field with potential to address bone defects and disorders by synthesizing three-dimensional bone substitutes embedded with cells for clinical implantation. However, current cell-based therapeutic approaches have faced hurdles due to safety and ethical concerns, challenging their clinical translation. Recent studies on exosome-regulated bone homeostasis and regeneration have gained interest as prospective cell free therapy in conjugation with tissue engineered bone grafts. However, exosome research is still in its nascent stages of bone tissue engineering. In this review, we specifically describe the role of exosomes secreted by cells within bone microenvironment such as osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts, mesenchymal stem cell cells, immune cells, endothelial cells, and even tumor cells during bone homeostasis and crosstalk. We also review exosome-based osteoinductive functionalization strategies for various bone-based biomaterials such as ceramics, polymers, and metals in bone tissue engineering. We further highlight biomaterials as carrier agents for exosome delivery to bone defect sites and, finally, the influence of various biomaterials in modulation of cell exosome secretome.

Abstract
Scaffold-based bone tissue engineering has been introduced as an alternative treatment option for bone grafting due to limitations in the allograft. Not only physical conditions but also biological conditions such as gene expression significantly impact bone regeneration. Scaffolds in composition with bioactive molecules such as miRNA mimics provide a platform to enhance migration, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells for bone regeneration. Among scaffolds, fibrous structures showed significant advantages in promoting osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration via delivering bioactive molecules over the past decade. Here, we reviewed the bone and bone fracture healing considerations for the impact of miRNAs on bone regeneration. We also examined the methods used to improve miRNA mimics uptake by cells, the fabrication of fibrous scaffolds, and the effective delivery of miRNA mimics using fibrous scaffold and their processes for bone development. Finally, we offer our view on the principal challenges of miRNA mimics delivery by nanofibers for bone tissue engineering.

With the gradual recognition of the side effects of local anesthetics, the nerve injury caused by local anesthetics has received growing attention. This research intended to delve into miR-183-5p changes in mepivacaine-mediated SH-SY5Y cell injury, as well as its modulatory mechanism on cell apoptosis. RT-qPCR was adopted for assaying miR-183-5p and PDCD4 mRNA expression. Our team respectively transfected miR-183-5p mimic and inhibitor to enhance or inhibit miR-183-5p function. We employed Western blot for detecting PDCD4 protein levels, as well as flow cytometry and Hoechst 33342/PI double staining for determining cell apoptosis rate. Additionally, our crew applied an ELISA kit for measuring TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 contents. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was examined by the Image-iT LIVE Green ROS detection Kit. As well as dual-luciferase reporter experiment for verifying the targeting link of miR-183-5p with PDCD4. In mepivacaine-induced cell apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells, miR-183-5p expression was down-regulated. TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 contents were elevated. The rate of apoptosis increased visibly, cleaved caspase-3 and Bax levels waxed, whereas Bcl-2 level waned. MiR-183-5p could alleviate the damaging impact of mepivacaine. Dual-luciferase reporter experiments demonstrated that miR-183-5p directly targeted PDCD4. Collectively, we concluded that a high concentration of mepivacaine can cause SH-SY5Y cell damage, miR-183-5p functions crucially in mepivacaine-mediated cell damage. This study provides a theoretical basis for elucidating the mechanism of mepivacaine-induced nerve cell damage, and overexpressed miR-183-5p likely become a novel strategy to combat mepivacaine-induced nerve damage.Abbreviations:miRNA: Micro RNA; PDCD4: Programmed Cell Death 4; MDA: Malondialdehyde; SOD: Superoxide Dismutase; ROS: Reactive Oxygen Species; WT: Wild Type; Mut: Mutant; UTR: Untranslated Region; IL-6: Interleukin-6; IL-1β: Interleukin-1β; TNF-α: Tumor Necrosis Factor-α; IL-8: Interleukin-8; COX-2: Cyclooxygenase-2; iNOS: inducible NOS; MEP: Mepivacaine.

Abstract
Multiple biologically active components of human milk support infant growth, health and development. Milk provides a wide spectrum of mammary epithelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MEVs) for the infant. Although the whole spectrum of MEVs appears to be of functional importance for the growing infant, the majority of recent studies report on the MEV subfraction of milk exosomes (MEX) and their miRNA cargo, which are in the focus of this review. MEX and the dominant miRNA-148a play a key role in intestinal maturation, barrier function and suppression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling and may thus be helpful for the prevention and treatment of necrotizing enterocolitis. MEX and their miRNAs reach the systemic circulation and may impact epigenetic programming of various organs including the liver, thymus, brain, pancreatic islets, beige, brown and white adipose tissue as well as bones. Translational evidence indicates that MEX and their miRNAs control the expression of global cellular regulators such as DNA methyltransferase 1-which is important for the up-regulation of developmental genes including insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1, α-synuclein and forkhead box P3-and receptor-interacting protein 140, which is important for the regulation of multiple nuclear receptors. MEX-derived miRNA-148a and miRNA-30b may stimulate the expression of uncoupling protein 1, the key inducer of thermogenesis converting white into beige/brown adipose tissue. MEX have to be considered as signalosomes derived from the maternal lactation genome emitted to promote growth, maturation, immunological and metabolic programming of the offspring. Deeper insights into milk's molecular biology allow the conclusion that infants are both "breast-fed" and "breast-programmed". In this regard, MEX miRNA-deficient artificial formula is not an adequate substitute for breastfeeding, the birthright of all mammals.

Abstract
Bone is a metabolically active organ that undergoes constant remodeling throughout life. A failure of this process leads to pathological destructive bone diseases such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Studies of the interplay between adipose tissue and bone system, have revealed that adipose tissue disorders (e.g. obesity) strongly influence the development of bone diseases. Adipokines secreted by adipose tissue play important roles in the crosstalk between bone and adipose tissue. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as a novel method of communication between different organs and have attracted increased attention in the field of bone remodeling process. Adipokines carried by EVs are known to play pivotal roles in bone remodeling processes including osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. In this review, we highlighted the role of adipose tissue derived EVs (EVs-AT) in the context of bone remodeling events and focused on the characteristics of EVs-AT and their components in the regulation of bone diseases. Moreover, we introduced the intriguing therapeutic application of EVs-AT in different pathological destructive bone diseases and proposed future directions for research on EVs-AT in bone diseases.

[PMID: 34004251 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.119620] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Accumulating evidence indicates that a number of microRNAs (miRNAs) serve as essential regulators during adipogenesis and adipolysis in humans and animals and play critical roles in the development of fat tissue. In this study, we aimed to determine the functional role and underlying regulatory mechanism of microRNA-489-3p (miR-489) in adipocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression patterns of miR-489 in mice were measured by qRT-PCR. Overexpression and knockdown of miR-489 by mimic and inhibitor transfections in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes revealed the regulatory effect of miR-489 on cellular proliferation and differentiation and energy turnover. Furthermore, RNA-seq, bioinformatics prediction, and dual luciferase reporter assays were used to identify the direct target of miR-489. KEY FINDINGS The results showed that miR-489 was highly expressed in the visceral fat tissue of adult mice, and obese mice exhibited higher levels of miR-489 than normal mice. Overexpression of miR-489 suppressed proliferation but promoted adipogenic differentiation and lipid accumulation in the cells. Mitochondrial oxidation also fluctuated in the cells due to the high expression of miR-489. Notably, knockdown of miR-489 did not have a strong opposing effect on the cells. Periostin (Postn) was identified as a direct target gene for miR-489, and silencing the Postn gene similarly stimulated adipogenesis and differentiation of adipocytes. SIGNIFICANCE miR-489 provides a strong driving force for adipogenesis metabolism and adipocyte differentiation by targeting the Postn gene. This result may contribute to the treatment of obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Caveolae proteins play diverse roles in cancer development and progression. In prostate cancer, non-caveolar caveolin-1 (CAV1) promotes metastasis, while CAVIN1 attenuates CAV1-induced metastasis. Here, we unveil a novel mechanism linking CAV1 to selective loading of exosomes with metastasis-promoting microRNAs. RESULTS We identify hnRNPK as a CAV1-regulated microRNA binding protein. In the absence of CAVIN1, non-caveolar CAV1 drives localisation of hnRPNK to multi-vesicular bodies (MVBs), recruiting AsUGnA motif-containing miRNAs and causing their release within exosomes. This process is dependent on the lipid environment of membranes as shown by cholesterol depletion using methyl-β-cyclodextrin or by treatment with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Consistent with a role in bone metastasis, knockdown of hnRNPK in prostate cancer PC3 cells abolished the ability of PC3 extracellular vesicles (EV) to induce osteoclastogenesis, and biofluid EV hnRNPK is elevated in metastatic prostate and colorectal cancer. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, these results support a novel pan-cancer mechanism for CAV1-driven exosomal release of hnRNPK and associated miRNA in metastasis, which is modulated by the membrane lipid environment.

Abstract
Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B-ligand (RANKL), its receptor RANK, and osteoprotegerin which binds RANKL and acts as a soluble decoy receptor, are essential controllers of bone remodeling. They also play important roles in establishing immune tolerance and in the development of the lymphatic system and mammary glands. In bone, RANKL stimulates osteoclast formation by binding RANK on osteoclast precursors and osteoclasts. This is required for bone resorption. Recently, RANKL and RANK have been shown to be functional components of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Data linking RANKL and RANK in EVs to biological regulatory roles are reviewed, and crucial unanswered questions are examined. RANKL and RANK are transmembrane proteins and their presence in EVs allows them to act at a distance from their cell of origin. Because RANKL-bearing osteocytes and osteoblasts are often spatially distant from RANK-containing osteoclasts in vivo, this may be crucial for the stimulation of osteoclast formation and bone resorption. RANK in EVs from osteoclasts has the capacity to stimulate a RANKL reverse signaling pathway in osteoblasts that promotes bone formation. This serves to couple bone resorption with bone formation and has inspired novel bifunctional therapeutic agents. RANKL- and RANK- containing EVs in serum may serve as biomarkers for bone and immune pathologies. In summary, EVs containing RANKL and RANK have been identified as intercellular regulators in bone biology. They add complexity to the central signaling network responsible for maintaining bone. RANKL- and RANK-containing EVs are attractive as drug targets and as biomarkers.

Abstract
Patients who sustain concomitant fractures and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are known to have significantly quicker fracture-healing rates than patients with isolated fractures. The mechanisms underlying this phenomenon have yet to be identified. In the present study, we found that the upregulation of microRNA-92a-3p (miRNA-92a-3p) induced by TBI correlated with a decrease in integrin binding sialoprotein (IBSP) expression in callus formation. In vitro, overexpressing miRNA-92a-3p inhibited IBSP expression and accelerated osteoblast differentiation, whereas silencing of miRNA-92a-3p inhibited osteoblast activity. A decrease in IBSP facilitated osteoblast differentiation via the Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/threonine kinase 1 (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway. Through luciferase assays, we found evidence that IBSP is a miRNA-92a-3p target gene that negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation. Moreover, the present study confirmed that pre-injection of agomiR-92a-3p leads to increased bone formation. Collectively, these results indicate that miRNA-92a-3p overexpression may be a key factor underlying the improved fracture healing observed in TBI patients. Upregulation of miRNA-92a-3p may therefore be a promising therapeutic strategy for promoting fracture healing and preventing nonunion.
