Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP)-associated fractures can result in severe morbidity and disability, reduced quality of life, and death. Previous studies have suggested that small noncoding RNAs, for example, small regulatory microRNAs (miRNAs), play a key role in OP by inhibiting target gene expression. Cuproptosis, a recently proposed copper-induced cell death pathway, is linked with OP. Here, we describe the contribution of exosomal miRNAs and cuproptosis to OP. First, we highlight the characteristics of exosomes and roles of exosome-related miRNAs. Next, we discuss the relationship between cuproptosis and OP. Subsequently, we analyze the crosstalk of exosomal miRNAs with cuproptosis in the development of OP. This review aims to investigate a new clinical treatment method for OP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoclasts, which are responsible for bone resorption, are specialized multinucleated cells generated from monocyte/macrophage progenitor cells or hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Physiological bone remodeling can become pathological, such as osteoporosis, when osteoclastogenesis is out of balance. Thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) influence important molecular and biological processes. Recent research has revealed gene expression regulation function that numerous lncRNAs regulate nuclear domain organization, genome stability. Furthermore, the research of lncRNAs has substantial clinical implications for the treatment of existing and new diseases. AREAS COVERED In this review, we gather the most recent research on lncRNAs and their potential for basic research and clinical applications in osteoclast and osteoporosis. We also discuss the findings here in order to fully understand the role of lncRNAs in osteoclast differentiation and osteoporosis, as well as to provide a solid basis for future research exploring associated mechanisms and treatments. EXPERT OPINION LncRNA has been considered as an important role in the regulation of osteoclast differentiation and osteoporosis. It is exciting to investigate pathophysiological processes in osteoporosis and the therapeutic potential of lncRNAs. We hope that this review will offer promising prospects for the development of precision and individualized approaches to treatment.

Abstract
It is commonly assumed that gastrointestinal cancer is the most common form of cancer across the globe and is the leading contributor to cancer-related death. The intricate mechanisms underlying the growth of GI cancers have been identified. It is worth mentioning that both non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and certain types of RNA, such as circular RNAs (circRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs), can have considerable impact on the development of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. As a tumour suppressor, in the group of short non-coding regulatory RNAs is miR-34a. miR-34a silences multiple proto-oncogenes at the post-transcriptional stage by targeting them, which inhibits all physiologically relevant cell proliferation pathways. However, it has been discovered that deregulation of miR-34a plays important roles in the growth of tumors and the development of cancer, including invasion, metastasis, and the tumor-associated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Further understanding of miR-34a's molecular pathways in cancer is also necessary for the development of precise diagnoses and effective treatments. We outlined the most recent research on miR-34a functions in GI cancers in this review. Additionally, we emphasize the significance of exosomal miR-34 in gastrointestinal cancers.

Hong L, Yang C. Eupatilin ameliorates postmenopausal osteoporosis via elevating microRNA-211-5p and repressing JAK2/STAT3 pathway. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2024; 39:2218-2228. [PMID: 38130072 DOI: 10.1002/tox.24069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) poses a significant threat to women's health worldwide. Eupatilin is a key bioactive component of the Chinese herbal medicine Artemisia asiatica Nakai. Recent research reports have proved the inhibitory function of Eupatilin in many diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 21-23 nucleotide-long, single-stranded, noncoding RNA molecules generated endogenously, and many studies have indicated that miRNAs are involved in the development of osteoporosis. This study explored the role and potential mechanism of Eupatilin underlying PMOP. First, rats were given intragastric administration of Eupatilin every day and subcutaneous injections of oligonucleotides or plasmids that interfered with miR-211-5p or janus kinase 2 (JAK2) once a week. After 4 weeks, the PMOP rat model was established. Then, serum alkaline phosphatase, calcium, and phosphorus levels, as well as femur bone mineral density and biomechanical parameters, were detected. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining were applied for detecting the pathological condition of femur, and immunohistochemical staining was for detecting osteocalcin. MC3T3-E1 cells were transfected with plasmid vectors interfering with miR-211-5p or JAK2; and cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase cytotoxicity, and cell mineralization were subsequently examined. The relationship between miR-211-5p and JAK2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway was analyzed. The targeting relation between miR-211-5p and JAK2 was also verified. The experimental results revealed that Eupatilin improved the pathological conditions of PMOP rats by promoting the proliferation and mineralization of osteoblasts. MiR-211-5p was down-regulated and JAK2/STAT3 was upregulated in PMOP rats. Upregulation of miR-211-5p further improved the pathological conditions of PMOP rats based on Eupatilin treatment. MiR-211-5p inhibited the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. JAK2 offset the effects of elevated miR-211-5p on PMOP rats. Overall, Eupatilin attenuates PMOP through elevating miR-211-5p and repressing JAK2/STAT3 pathway, which suggests the utility of Eupatilin as a potential drug for POMP treatment.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is caused by the imbalance of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The regulatory mechanisms of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in pathogenesis of osteoporosis are of significant and needed to be further investigated. GSE100609 dataset downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to identified DEGs in osteoporosis patients. KEGG analysis was conducted to demonstrate signaling pathways related to enriched genes. Osteoporosis patients and the human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were obtained for in vivo and in vitro resaerch. Lentivirus construction and viral infection was used to knockdown genes. mRNA expression and protein expression were detected via qRT-PCR and western blot assay separately. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity detection, alizarin Red S (ARS) staining, and expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), osteocalcin (OCN) and Osterix were evaluated to determine osteoblast differentiation capacity. UL-16 binding protein 1 (ULBP1) gene was upregulated in osteoporosis and downregulated in differentiated hMSCs. Knockdown of ULBP1 increased ALP activity, mineralization ability evaluated by ARS staining, expression of BMP2, OCN and Osterix in differentiated hMSCs. Furthermore, rescue experiment demonstrated that suppressed ULBP1 boosted osteoblast differentiation by activating TNF-β signaling pathway. Knockdown of ULBP1 gene could promoted osteoblast differentiation by activating TNF-β signaling pathway in differentiated hMSCs. ULBP1 may be a the Achilles' heel of osteoporosis, and suppression of ULBP1 could be a promising treatment for osteoporosis.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1164252. [PMID: 37251576 PMCID: PMC10214158 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1164252] [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: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: We investigated the expression of miRNA-214 in human osteoporotic bone tissue and tested the utility of adeno-associated virus (AAV) expressing a miRNA-214 inhibitor in terms of preventing local osteoporosis of the femoral condyle in a rat model of osteoporosis. Methods: (1) Femoral heads of patients who underwent hip replacements at our hospital because of femoral neck fractures were collected and divided into osteoporosis and non-osteoporosis groups based on preoperative bone mineral density data. MiRNA-214 expression was detected in bone tissues exhibiting obvious bone microstructural changes in the two groups. (2) A total of 144 SD female rats were divided into four groups: the Control, Model, Negative control (Model + AAV), and Experimental (Model + anti-miRNA-214) groups. AAV-anti-miRNA-214 was injected locally into the rat femoral condyles; we explored whether this prevented or treated local osteoporosis. Results: (1) MiRNA-214 expression in the human femoral head was significantly increased in the osteoporosis group. (2) Compared to the Model and Model + AAV groups, the bone mineral density (BMD) and femoral condyle bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) ratio in the Model + anti-miRNA-214 group were significantly higher; in addition, the number (TB.N) and thickness (TB.Th) of the trabecular bones were increased (all p < 0.05). MiRNA-214 expression in the femoral condyles of the Model + anti-miRNA-214 group was significantly higher than that in the other groups. The expression levels of the osteogenesis-related genes Alp, Bglap, and Col1α1 increased, while those of the osteoclast-related genes NFATc1, Acp5, Ctsk, Mmp9, and Clcn7 decreased. Conclusion: AAV-anti-miRNA-214 promoted osteoblast activity and inhibited osteoclast activity in the femoral condyles of osteoporotic rats, improving bone metabolism and slowing osteoporosis progression.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the role of propofol in mediating prostate cancer (PCa) bone metastasis through regulating exosomal factors derived from PCa. We isolated exosomes from PCa cells and co-cultured them with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). PCa-derived exosomes increased calcium deposition of MSCs and upregulated ALPL'Alkaline phosphatase, tissue-nonspecific isozyme) and BGLAP (Bone Gamma-Carboxyglutamate Protein) expression. Propofol treatment reduced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and ALPL and BGLAP expression that was induced by PCa-derived exosomes in MSCs. miRNAs present in cancer cell-derived exosomes increased osteogenesis in these cells. We evaluated miRNA expression in PCa cells after treatment with propofol, and found that miR-142-3p was upregulated in PCa cells. Furthermore, we transfected MSCs with miR-142-3p mimics or inhibitors and revealed that miR-142-3p mimics reduced calcium deposition and downregulated ALP activity, and ALPL and BGLAP levels, while miR-142-3p inhibitors increased calcium deposition and increased ALP activity, and ALPL and BGLAP levels. Finally, we determined that MSCs co-cultured with PCa-derived exosomes and transfected with miR-142-3p mimic exhibited reduced calcium deposition and lower ALP activity, and expression of ALPL and BGLAP. These data demonstrate that propofol inhibits osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of MSCs induced by PCa-derived exosomes by regulation of miR-142-3p levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND TGF-β-induced factor homeobox 2 (TGIF2) is a transcription regulator that is phosphorylated by EGFR/ERK signaling. However, the functions of phosphorylated (p)-TGIF2 in cancer are largely unknown. Here, we investigated the roles of p-TGIF2 in promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). METHODS In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to investigate the role of TGIF2 in LUAD EMT and metastasis. Dual-luciferase reporter and ChIP assays were employed to observe the direct transcriptional regulation of E-cadherin by TGIF2 and HDAC1. Co-immunoprecipitation was performed to identify the interaction between TGIF2 and HDAC1. RESULTS Downregulating the expression of TGIF2 inhibited LUAD cell migration, EMT and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Phosphorylation of TGIF2 by EGFR/ERK signaling was required for TGIF2-promoted LUAD EMT and metastasis since phosphorylation-deficient TGIF2 mutant lost these functions. Phosphorylation of TGIF2 was necessary to recruit HDAC1 to the E-cadherin promoter sequence and subsequently suppress E-cadherin transcription. Meanwhile, inhibition of HDAC1 repressed the TGIF2 phosphorylation-induced migration and EMT of LUAD cells. In xenograft mouse models, both inhibition of ERK and HDAC1 could significantly inhibited TGIF2-enhanced metastasis. Furthermore, TGIF2-positive staining was significantly correlated with E-cadherin-negative staining in human lung cancer specimens. CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals the novel function of p-TGIF2 in promoting EMT and metastasis in LUAD; p-TGIF2 could be a potential therapeutic target to inhibit LUAD metastasis.

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
Introduction To probe the impacts and biological roles of miR-4739/ITGA10 on the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of osteoblasts. Methods Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to screen the key genes in osteoporosis. The upstream miRNAs of ITGA10 were predicted by TargetScan. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was performed by DAVID database. The osteoblast proliferation and apoptosis were measured using CCK-8 and flow cytometry. The differentiation markers were measured by qRT-PCR and western blotting. The luciferase reporter assay was conducted to verify the binding of miR-4739 to ITGA10. Results ITGA10 was down-regulated in patients with osteoporosis and identified as the key gene in osteoporosis by the bioinformatics analysis. Then the prediction provided by TargetScan indicated that miR-4739 was the potential upstream miRNA for ITGA10. And the following luciferase reporter assay showed that miR-4739 could bind to ITGA10 3′UTR. Furthermore, the miR-4739 inhibitor promoted osteoblasts proliferation, differentiation, and inhibited cell apoptosis by increasing the expression of ITGA10 and subsequently activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Conclusions Overall, we proved that the higher expression of miR-4739 participated in the progression of osteoporosis by targeting ITGA10 and modulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, and perhaps miR-4739/ITGA10 axis could be potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

Diabetes 2022; 71:2777-2792. [PMID: 35802043 PMCID: PMC9750954 DOI: 10.2337/db21-0573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that physical exercise (EX) promotes skeletal development. However, the impact of EX on the progression of bone loss and deterioration of mechanical strength in mice with type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) remains unexplored. In the current study, we investigated the effect of EX on bone mass and mechanical quality using a diabetic mouse model. The T2DM mouse model was established with a high-fat diet with two streptozotocin injections (50 mg/kg/body wt) in C57BL/6 female mice. The diabetic mice underwent treadmill exercises (5 days/week at 7-11 m/min for 60 min/day) for 8 weeks. The data showed that diabetes upregulated miR-150 expression through oxidative stress and suppressed FNDC5/Irisin by binding to its 3'-untranslated region. The decreased level of irisin further triggers the pyroptosis response in diabetic bone tissue. EX or N-acetyl cysteine or anti-miRNA-150 transfection in T2DM mice restored FNDC5/Irisin expression and bone formation. Furthermore, EX or recombinant irisin administration prevented T2DM-Induced hyperglycemia and improved glucose intolerance in diabetic mice. Furthermore, osteoblastic knockdown of Nlrp3 silencing (si-Nlrp3) or pyroptosis inhibitor (Ac-YVADCMK [AYC]) treatment restores bone mineralization in diabetic mice. Micro-computed tomography scans and mechanical testing revealed that trabecular bone microarchitecture and bone mechanical properties were improved after EX in diabetic mice. Irisin, either induced by skeleton or daily EX or directly administered, prevents bone loss by mitigating inflammasome-associated pyroptosis signaling in diabetic mice. This study demonstrates that EX-induced skeletal irisin ameliorates diabetes-associated glucose intolerance and bone loss and possibly provides a mechanism of its effects on metabolic osteoporosis.

Broad-acting therapeutic effects of miR-29b-chitosan on hypertension and diabetic complications. Mol Ther 2022; 30:3462-3476.

Abstract
MicroRNA miR-29 promotes endothelial function in human arterioles in part by targeting LYPLA1 and increasing nitric oxide production. In addition, miR-29 is a master inhibitor of extracellular matrix gene expression, which may attenuate fibrosis but could also weaken tissue structure. The goal of this study was to test whether miR-29 could be developed as an effective, broad-acting, and safe therapeutic. Substantial accumulation of miR-29b and effective knockdown of Lypla1 in several mouse tissues were achieved using a chitosan-packaged, chemically modified miR-29b mimic (miR-29b-CH-NP) injected systemically at 200 μg/kg body weight. miR-29b-CH-NP, injected once every 3 days, significantly attenuated angiotensin II-induced hypertension. In db/db mice, miR-29b-CH-NP treatment for 12 weeks decreased cardiac and renal fibrosis and urinary albuminuria. In uninephrectomized db/db mice, miR-29b-CH-NP treatment for 20 weeks significantly improved myocardial performance index and attenuated proteinuria. miR-29b-CH-NP did not worsen abdominal aortic aneurysm in ApoE knockout mice treated with angiotensin II. miR-29b-CH-NP caused aortic root fibrotic cap thinning in ApoE knockout mice fed a high-cholesterol and high-fat diet but did not worsen the necrotic zone or mortality. In conclusion, systemic delivery of low-dose miR-29b-CH-NP is an effective therapeutic for several forms of cardiovascular and renal disease in mice.

Impact of Anti-Angiogenic Treatment on Bone Vascularization in a Murine Model of Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis Using Synchrotron Radiation Micro-CT. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14143443.

Abstract
Bone metastases are frequent complications of breast cancer, facilitating the development of anarchic vascularization and induce bone destruction. Therefore, anti-angiogenic drugs (AAD) have been tested as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of breast cancer bone metastasis. However, the kinetics of skeletal vascularization in response to tumor invasion under AAD is still partially understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the effect of AAD on experimental bone metastasis by analyzing the three-dimensional (3D) bone vasculature during metastatic formation and progression. Seventy-three eight-week-old female mice were treated with AAD (bevacizumab, vatalanib, or a combination of both drugs) or the vehicle (placebo) one day after injection with breast cancer cells. Mice were sacrificed eight or 22 days after tumor cell inoculation (time points T1 and T2, respectively). Synchrotron radiation microcomputed tomography (SR-μCT) was used to image bone and blood vessels with a contrast agent. Hence, 3D-bone and vascular networks were simultaneously visualized and quantitatively analyzed. At T1, the trabecular bone volume fraction was significantly increased (p < 0.05) in the combined AAD-treatment group, compared to the placebo- and single AAD-treatment groups. At T2, only the bone vasculature was reduced in the combined AAD-treatment group (p < 0.05), as judged by measurement of the blood vessel thickness. Our data suggest that, at the early stage, combined AAD treatment dampens tumor-induced bone resorption with no detectable effects on bone vessel organization while, at a later stage, it affects the structure of bone microvascularization.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a common bone metabolic disorder characterized by deterioration of the bone microarchitecture, leading to an increased risk of fractures. Recently, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been demonstrated to play pivotal roles in regulating bone metabolism. However, the underlying functions of circRNAs in bone metabolism in postmenopausal osteoporosis remain obscure. Here, we report that circStag1 is a critical osteoporosis-related circRNA that shows significantly downregulated expression in osteoporotic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and clinical bone tissue samples from patients with osteoporosis. Overexpression of circStag1 significantly promoted the osteogenic capability of BMSCs. Mechanistically, we found that circStag1 interacts with human antigen R (HuR), an RNA-binding protein, and promotes the translocation of HuR into the cytoplasm. A high cytoplasmic level of HuR led to the activation of the Wnt signaling pathway by stabilizing and enhancing low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5/6 (Lrp5/6) and β-catenin expression, thereby stimulating the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Furthermore, overexpression of circStag1 in vivo by circStag1-loaded adeno-associated virus (circStag1-AAV) promoted new bone formation, thereby preventing bone loss in ovariectomized rats. Collectively, we show that circStag1 plays a pivotal role in promoting the regeneration of bone tissue via HuR/Wnt signaling, which may provide new strategies to prevent bone metabolic disorders such as postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs), which are responsible for bone resorption, play a critical role in cholesterol-induced bone loss and recent studies have suggested that various micro-RNAs (miRs) contribute to modulating OCs. We hypothesized that 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC), a metabolite responsible for cholesterol-induced bone loss, induces miR-107-5p, which affects OCs. Overexpression and knock-down of miR-107-5p were performed using miR-107-5p mimic and anti-miR-107-5p, respectively. The effects of miR-107-5p on OCs were analyzed by tartrate-resistant alkaline phosphatase staining, qPCR, and Western blot. MiR-107-5p was upregulated after 7-KC exposure in receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand-stimulated OCs. Furthermore, miR-107-5p upregulation was also observed in tibiae from an atherogenic diet-fed mice compared with mice fed with a normal diet. MiR-107-5p overexpression enhanced the area and number of OCs, whereas inhibiting the endogenous expression of miR-107-5p generated by 7-KC had the opposite effect. Among the possible candidates, mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1, a stress-responsive dual-specificity phosphatase that inactivates mitogen-activated protein kinase (MKP1), has been proven to be a target gene of miR-107-5p, as demonstrated by the direct interaction between miR-107-5p and the 3'-untranslated region of MKP1. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that 7-KC-induced miR-107-5p promotes differentiation and function of OCs by downregulating MKP1.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is one of the most common bone diseases, especially in women after menopause. Increasing evidence shows that non-coding RNAs are implicated in the pathogenesis of OP. In this study, based on the published circular RNA profiling data between OP patients and healthy controls, we found that circRNA_0001795 (circ_0001795) is downregulated in OP samples, which was further validated in the OP samples collected in this study. We therefore investigated the functional role and molecular mechanism of circ_0001795 in the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) hBMSCs by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, ALP and Alizarin Red S (ALS) Staining, luciferase reporter assay. Our data revealed that the overexpression of circ_0001795 could significantly promote the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. MiRNA-339-5p (miR-339-5p) was identified as a target of circ_0001795, and miR-339-5p mimic attenuated the effect of circ_0001795 overexpression. MiR-339-5p downregulated yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), which mediates the effect of circ_0001795 overexpression. Overall, this study uncovered the role of circ_0001795/miR-339-5p/YAP1 axis in regulating osteogenic differentiation, indicating that targeting Circ_0001795 could serve as a novel therapeutic target for OP.

Abstract
With rapidly aging populations worldwide, osteoporosis has become a serious global public health problem. Caused by disordered systemic bone remodeling, osteoporosis manifests as progressive loss of bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, increasing the risk of fractures and eventually leading to osteoporotic fragility fractures. As fracture risk increases, antiosteoporosis treatments transition from nonpharmacological management to pharmacological intervention, and finally to the treatment of fragility fractures. Calcium-based nanomaterials (CBNMs) have unique advantages in osteoporosis treatment because of several characteristics including similarity to natural bone, excellent biocompatibility, easy preparation and functionalization, low pH-responsive disaggregation, and inherent pro-osteogenic properties. By combining additional ingredients, CBNMs can play multiple roles to construct antiosteoporotic biomaterials with different forms. This review covers recent advances in CBNMs for osteoporosis treatment. For ease of understanding, CBNMs for antiosteoporosis treatment can be classified as locally applied CBNMs, such as implant coatings and filling materials for osteoporotic bone regeneration, and systemically administered CBNMs for antiosteoporosis treatment. Locally applied CBNMs for osteoporotic bone regeneration develop faster than the systemically administered CBNMs, an important consideration given the serious outcomes of fragility fractures. Nevertheless, many innovations in construction strategies and preparation methods have been applied to build systemically administered CBNMs. Furthermore, with increasing interest in delaying osteoporosis progression and avoiding fragility fracture occurrence, research into systemic administration of CBNMs for antiosteoporosis treatment will have more development prospects. Deep understanding of the CBNM preparation process and optimizing CBNM properties will allow for increased application of CBNMs in osteoporosis treatments in the future.

Abstract
Coordination between osteogenesis and angiogenesis is required for bone homeostasis. Here, we show that miR-29cb2 is a bone-specific miRNA and plays critical roles on angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling during bone remodeling. Mice with deletion of miR-29cb2 exhibit osteopenic phenotypes and osteoblast impairment, accompanied by pronounced decreases in specific H vessels. The decrease in bone miR-29cb2 was associated with pathological ovariectomy stimuli. Mechanistically, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-3α, as a target for miR-29cb2, inhibits HIF-1α activity by competitively bonding with HIF-1β. Notably, miR-29cb2 in peripheral blood (PB) nearly is undetectable in sham and significantly increases in ovariectomy mice. Further evaluation from osteoporosis patients demonstrates similar signatures. ROC analysis shows miR-29cb2 in PB has higher sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing osteoporosis when compared with four clinical biomarkers. Collectively, these findings reveal that miR-29cb2 is essential for bone remodeling by inhibiting HIF-3α and elevated bone-specific miR-29cb2 in PB, which may be a promising biomarker for bone loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cartilage endplate (CEP) degeneration plays a vital role in the pathological process of intervertebral disc degeneration. It has been previously reported that microRNAs may participate in the occurrence and development of intervertebral disc degeneration through regulating its target genes directly. The regulatory roles of miR-142-3p/HMGB1 in some orthopedic diseases have been determined successively, but there was no report about the degeneration of CEP. Therefore, we aimed to determine the regulation of miR-142-3p/HMGB1 or potential molecular mechanisms on proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and autophagy of CEP cells. METHODS The target gene of miR-142-3p was determined by double luciferase assay. We selected ATDC5 cell lines. CCK-8 method was used to detect cell proliferation. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to determine gene expression levels, and western blot analysis was used to determine protein expression levels. We chose flow cytometry to measure cell apoptosis and cell cycle. RESULTS The result of luciferase detection showed that the target gene of miR-142-3p in CEP cells was HMGB1. Knockdown of the miR-142-3p inhibited the expression level of HMGB1, the proliferation and migration of CEP cells, but it promoted apoptosis of CEP cells. In addition, the detection results of the proteins related to apoptosis or autophagy showed that knockdown of miR-142-3p promoted apoptosis and autophagy. CONCLUSION The negative regulation of miR-142-3p/HMGB1 can affect the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and autophagy of CEP cells. Our results provide a new idea for the targeted treatment of CEP degeneration by inhibiting the expression of HMGB1.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis is the most susceptible disease for people over 60. The main cause of osteoporosis is the decreased osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Here we showed that upstream stimulatory factor 2 (USF2)/microRNA-34a (miR-34a)/bone morphogenetic protein 3 (BMP3) axis regulated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS USF2 and miR-34a expression were examined using qPCR. Protein levels of BMP3 and osteogenic markers expression were evaluated using both western blot and qPCR. Activity of ALP was determined by ALP assay kit. Mineralization capacity of hBMSCs was assessed using ARS. Besides, CHIP assay was employed to verify whether USF2 could bind to miR-34a promoter. Finally, RIP assay and dual-luciferase reporter assay were employed to verify whether miR-34a directly bound to BMP3. RESULTS Our results suggested that miR-34a was upregulated during osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and miR-34a overexpression could enhance osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. USF2 could positively regulate miR-34a expression by interacting with its promoter. USF2 overexpression enhanced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, while miR-34a inhibition reversed the effect. Besides, BMP3 was the target of miR-34a. MiR-34a overexpression enhanced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, which was abolished by BMP3 overexpression. CONCLUSION Taken together, USF2 enhanced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs via downregulating BMP3 by interacting with miR-34a promoter.

Abstract
Differentiation of macrophages toward osteoclasts is crucial for bone homeostasis but can be detrimental in disease states, including osteoporosis and cancer. Therefore, understanding the osteoclast differentiation process and the underlying regulatory mechanisms may facilitate the identification of new therapeutic targets. Hereby, we tried to reveal new miRNAs potentially involved in the regulation of early steps of osteoclastogenesis, with a particular focus on those possibly correlated with NFATc1 expression, by studying miRNAs profiling. During the first 24 h of osteoclastogenesis, 38 miRNAs were differentially expressed between undifferentiated and RANKL-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, while 10 miRNAs were differentially expressed between RANKL-stimulated cells transfected with negative control or NFATc1-siRNAs. Among others, the expression levels of miR-411, miR-144 and members of miR-29, miR-30, and miR-23 families changed after RANKL stimulation. Moreover, the potential role of miR-124 during osteoclastogenesis was explored by transient cell transfection with anti-miR-124 or miR-124-mimic. Two relatively unknown miRNAs, miR-880-3p and miR-295-3p, were differentially expressed between RANKL-stimulated/wild-type and RANKL-stimulated/NFATc1-silenced cells, suggesting their possible correlation with NFATc1. KEGG enrichment analyses showed that kinase and phosphatase enzymes were among the predicted targets for many of the studied miRNAs. In conclusion, our study provides new data on the potential role and possible targets of new miRNAs during osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent epigenetic RNA modification and is vital in regulating malignancies. The roles of m6A modifiers on noncoding RNAs have not been fully investigated in esophageal cancer. By screening all m6A modifiers, ALKBH5 was the most potent member related to patient outcomes and suppressing esophageal cancer malignancy in cell and animal models. It demethylated pri-miR-194-2 and inhibited miR-194-2 biogenesis through an m6A/DGCR8-dependent manner. RAI1, previously considered as a circadian clock transcriptional regulator, was the main target of miR-194-2. It enhanced transcription of Hippo pathway upstream genes by binding to their 3'UTR and suppressed YAP/TAZ nuclear translocation. The ALKBH5/miR-194-2/RAI1 axis was also validated in clinical samples. In addition, the increased malignancy by low ALKBH5 was abolished by the YAP inhibitor verteporfin. Our findings uncover a critical role of ALKBH5 in miRNAs biogenesis and provide novel insight for developing treatment strategies in esophageal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the regulation of osteoclast biology and several pathogenic progression. This study aimed to identify the role of miR-26a in osteoclastogenesis and orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption(OIIRR). METHODS Rat orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) model was established by ligating a closed coil spring between maxillary first molar and incisor, and 50 g orthodontic force was applied to move upper first molar to middle for 7 days. Human periodontal ligament (hPDL) cells were isolated from periodontium of healthy donors, and then subjected to compression force (CF) for 24 h to mimic an in vitro OTM model. The levels of associated factors in vivo and in vitro were measured subsequently. RESULT The distance of tooth movement was increased and root resorption pits were occurred in rat OTM model. The expression of miR-26a was decreased in vivo and vitro experiments. CF treatment enhanced the secretion of inflammatory factors receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and IL-6, osteoclast marker levels, and the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts, while miR-26a overexpression reversed these results. Furthermore, miR-26a overexpression inhibited the osteoclastogenesis and rescued the root resorption in OTM rats through inhibition of Jagged1. Additionally, Runx1 could bind to miR-26a promoter and promote its expression, thereby suppressing the osteoclastogenesis. CONCLUSION We concluded that Runx1/miR-26a/Jagged1 signaling axis restrained osteoclastogenesis and alleviated OIIRR.

Abstract
Inflammatory diseases have a negative impact on bone homeostasis via exacerbated local and systemic inflammation. Bone resorbing osteoclasts are mainly derived from hematopoietic precursors and bone marrow monocytes. Induced osteoclastogenesis during inflammation, autoimmunity, metabolic diseases, and cancers is associated with bone loss and osteoporosis. Proinflammatory cytokines, pathogen-associated molecular patterns, or endogenous pathogenic factors induce osteoclastogenic differentiation by binding to the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family expressed on surface of osteoclast precursors. As a non-canonical member of the TLRs, radioprotective 105 kDa (RP105 or CD180) and its ligand, myeloid differentiation protein 1 (MD1), are involved in several bone metabolic disorders. Reports from literature had demonstrated RP105 as an important activator of B cells, bone marrow monocytes, and macrophages, which regulates inflammatory cytokines release from immune cells. Reports from literature had shown the association between RP105 and other TLRs, and the downstream signaling mechanisms of RP105 with different “signaling-competent” partners in immune cells during different disease conditions. This review is focused to summarize: (1) the role of RP105 on immune cells’ function and inflammation regulation (2) the potential regulatory roles of RP105 in different disease-mediated osteoclast activation and the underlying mechanisms, and (3) the different “signaling-competent” partners of RP105 that regulates osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Aim: This study aims to investigate whether long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) X-inactive specific transcript (Xist) can regulate osteoclast differentiation in osteoporosis and the mechanism. Materials & methods: The mouse model of osteoporosis was established by ovariectomy surgery. Osteoclast differentiation from RAW264.7 cells was induced in vitro. The relationships between associated genes were assessed. Results: Xist and Tgif2 were upregulated, but miR-590-3p was downregulated in ovariectomy mouse femurs and cell models. Xist knockdown or miR-590-3p overexpression inhibited Tgif2 expression and osteoclast differentiation. Tgif2 and Xist were the targets of miR-590-3p. Increased miR-590-3p expression inhibited Tgif2 level and osteoclast differentiation, while Xist overexpression reversed these effects. Conclusion: Xist serves as a ceRNA of miR-590-3p to promote Tgif2 level; thereby, contributing to osteoclast differentiation.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a prevalent systemic skeletal disorder entailing bone fragility and increased fracture risk, often emerging in post-menopausal life. Emerging evidence implicates the dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) in the progression of osteoporosis. This study investigated the effect of miR-199a-3p on osteoporosis and its underlying mechanism. We first examplished an ovariectomized (OVX)-induced rat osteoporosis model, and then isolated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from bone marrow of the model rats. The overexpression and knock down of miR-199a-3p were conducted in OVX rats and MSCs to verify the role of miR-199a-3p on MSC differentiation. Calcium nodules were measured using alizarin red S (ARS) staining. RT-qPCR and Western blot assay were performed to measure the expression of miR-199a-3p, Kdm3a and osteogenic differentiation-related markers in rat tissues and cells. The correlation between miR-199a-3p and Kdm3a was confirmed using dual-luciferase reporter assay. The enrichment of Kdm3a at the Erk2 and Klf2 promoter was assessed using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. Isolated MSCs were positive for CD29, CD44, CD90, and CD45, suggesting successful isolation of MSCs. There was increased expression of miR-199a-3p and inhibited osteogenic differentiation in OVX rats. Kdm3a was negatively targeted by miR-199a-3p. Our results also demonstrated that Kdm3a elevated the expression of Erk2 and Erk2 by promoting Erk2 and Klf2 demethylation, which further contributed to osteogenic differentiation. Overall, our results revealed a regulatory network of miR-199a-3p in osteogenic differentiation, highlighting miR-199a-3p as a potential target for therapeutic interventions in osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic disorder characterized by low bone mass and deteriorated microarchitecture, with an increased risk of fracture. Some miRNAs have been confirmed as potential modulators of osteoblast differentiation to maintain bone mass. Our miRNA sequencing results showed that miR-664-3p was significantly down-regulated during the osteogenic differentiation of the preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells. However, whether miR-664-3p has an impact on bone homeostasis remains unknown. In this study, we identified overexpression of miR-664-3p inhibited the osteoblast activity and matrix mineralization in vitro. Osteoblastic miR-664-3p transgenic mice exhibited reduced bone mass due to suppressed osteoblast function. Target prediction analysis and experimental validation confirmed Smad4 and Osterix (Osx) are the direct targets of miR-664-3p. Furthermore, specific inhibition of miR-664-3p by subperiosteal injection with miR-664-3p antagomir protected against ovariectomy-induced bone loss. In addition, miR-664-3p expression was markedly higher in the serum from patients with osteoporosis compared to that from normal subjects. Taken together, this study revealed that miR-664-3p suppressed osteogenesis and bone formation via targeting Smad4 and Osx. It also highlights the potential of miR-664-3p as a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target for osteoporotic patients.

Abstract
Bone formation in the craniofacial complex is regulated by cranial neural crest (CNC) and mesoderm-derived cells. Different elements of the developing skull, face, mandible, maxilla (jaws) and nasal bones are regulated by an array of transcription factors, signaling molecules and microRNAs (miRs). miRs are molecular modulators of these factors and act to restrict their expression in a temporal-spatial mechanism. miRs control the different genetic pathways that form the craniofacial complex. By understanding how miRs function in vivo during development they can be adapted to regenerate and repair craniofacial genetic anomalies as well as bone diseases and defects due to traumatic injuries. This review will highlight some of the new miR technologies and functions that form new bone or inhibit bone regeneration.

Abstract
Muscle/bone interaction has been recently noted. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a vital role in physiological and pathophysiological processes by transferring microRNA (miRNA) to distant tissues. We previously reported that EVs secreted from C2C12 myoblasts (Myo-EVs) suppress osteoclast differentiation. In the present study, we identified 4 miRNAs in Myo-EVs that suppressed osteoclast-like cell formation in Raw264.7 cells using small RNA sequencing analysis. Among them, miR-196a-5p expression was higher in C2C12 cells compared to mouse osteoblasts and bone marrow cells. Transfection of miR-196a-5p mimic suppressed the mRNA levels of osteoclast-related genes and mitochondrial energy metabolism induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand in Raw264.7 cells. In contrast, miR-196a-5p mimic enhanced osteoblastic differentiation in ST-2 cells and MC3T3-E1 cells. In conclusion, we demonstrated that miR-196-5p suppresses osteoclast-like cell formation and mitochondrial energy metabolism in mouse cells, suggesting that it might be a crucial factor for muscle/bone interaction via EVs.

Abstract
Background Early screening and intervention therapies are crucial to improve the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with bone metastasis. We aimed to identify serum lncRNA as a prediction biomarker in HCC bone metastasis. Methods The expression levels of lnc34a in serum samples from 157 HCC patients were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were performed to determine statistically significant variables. Results Expression levels of lnc34a in serum from HCC patients with bone metastasis were significantly higher than those without bone metastasis. The high expressions of lnc34a, vascular invasion and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage were associated with bone metastasis by analysis. Moreover, lnc34a expression was specifically associated with bone metastasis rather than lung or lymph node metastasis in HCC. Conclusions High serum lnc34a expression was a independent risk factor for developing bone metastasis in HCC.

Abstract
Epigenetic regulation is critical for proper bone development. Evidence from a large body of published literature informs us that microRNAs (miRNAs) are important epigenetic factors that control many aspects of bone development, homeostasis, and repair processes. These small non-coding RNAs function at the post-transcriptional level to suppress expression of specific target genes. Many target genes may be affected by one miRNA resulting in alteration in cellular pathways and networks. Therefore, changes in levels or activity of a specific miRNA (e.g. via genetic mutations, disease scenarios, or by over-expression or inhibition strategies in vitro or in vivo) can lead to substantial changes in cell processes including proliferation, metabolism, apoptosis and differentiation. In this review, Section 1 briefly covers general background information on processes that control bone development as well as the biogenesis and function of miRNAs. In Section 2, we discuss the importance of miRNAs in skeletal development based on findings from in vivo mouse models and human clinical reports. Section 3 focuses on describing more recent data from the last three years related to miRNA regulation of osteoblast differentiation in vitro. Some of these studies also involve utilization of an in vivo rodent model to study the effects of miRNA modulation in scenarios of osteoporosis, bone repair or ectopic bone formation. In Section 4, we provide some recent information from studies analyzing the potential of miRNA-mediated crosstalk in bone and how exosomes containing miRNAs from one bone cell may affect the differentiation or function of another bone cell type. We then conclude by summarizing where the field currently stands with respect to miRNA-mediated regulation of osteogenesis and how information gained from developmental processes can be instructive in identifying potential therapeutic miRNA targets for the treatment of certain bone conditions.

Ann N Y Acad Sci 2021; 1503:23-37.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible use of resveratrol (Res) to reverse abnormal osteogenesis/osteoclastogenesis activity that occurs during femoral head osteonecrosis and to explore the detailed mechanisms. Application of Res to bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in vitro promoted survival, inhibited apoptosis, and downregulated expression of reactive oxygen species expression. Moreover, Res application was associated with elevated microRNA-146a (miR-146a) expression, osteogenic differentiation, and suppressed osteoclastic differentiation, which were markedly reversed by miR-146a inhibitor. Histopathological observations and micro-computed tomography scanning results indicated that the Res-treated group had lower incidence of osteonecrosis and better bone microstructure than the untreated group. Res inhibited osteoclastogenesis through altering the levels of sirtuin1 (Sirt1), nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB), and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL). Simultaneously, Res treatment improved bone formation and increased β-catenin and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runt2) expression levels, while reducing forkhead box class O (FOXO) family protein levels. The results of our study suggest that Res prevents steroid-induced osteonecrosis by upregulating miR-146a, and thereby stabilizes osteogenesis/osteoclastogenesis homeostasis via Wnt/FOXO and Sirt1/NF-κB pathways.

Silencing long noncoding RNA colon cancer-associated transcript-1 upregulates microRNA-34a-5p to promote proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts in osteoporosis. Cancer Gene Ther 2021; 28:1150-1161. [PMID: 33402731 DOI: 10.1038/s41417-020-00264-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been revealed to be related to multiple physiological and pathology processes such as development, carcinogenesis, and osteogenesis. It is reported that lncRNAs might exert function in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. Here, we determined this study to clarify whether lncRNA CCAT1 could regulate osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis. The osteoporosis models were established by bilateral ovariectomy and treated with CCAT1 siRNAs to discuss the effect of CCAT1 on pathological changes and osteocyte apoptosis in ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis. The osteoblasts from ovariectomized rats were cultured in vitro, which were then treated with CCAT1 siRNAs to explore the role of CCAT1 in osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Moreover, the relationships among CCAT1, miR-34a-5p, and SMURF2 were confirmed. CCAT1 and SMURF2 were amplified while miR-34a-5p expression was inhibited in bone tissues and osteoblasts of ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis. Inhibited CCAT1 improved pathology and restricted osteocyte apoptosis of bone tissues in ovariectomized rats with osteoporosis in vivo, and also enhanced differentiation, mineralization abilities, and proliferation, and suppressed apoptosis of osteoblasts from ovariectomized rats in vitro through upregulating miR-34a-5p expression. LncRNA CCAT1 could competitively bind with miR-34a-5p to prevent the degradation of its target gene SMURF2. Results of this research suggested that the CCAT1 inhibits the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts in rats with osteoporosis by binding to miR-34a-5p, providing novel biomarkers for osteoporosis treatment.

Abstract
Rationale: A co-delivery system that can transport chemotherapeutic drugs and nucleotide drugs to distinct targets in tumors is an attractive strategy for cancer therapy. In this study, well-defined targeted quantum dot (QD)-based multifunctional nanocarriers were developed through self-assembly driven by host-guest interactions. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and microRNA-34a mimics (miR-34a(m)) were co-administered to achieve synergistic effects for colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy for the first time. Furthermore, the CRC patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) model, which closely mimics human CRC tumor pathological properties, was used for evaluating the therapeutic effect in this research. Methods: Multiple β-cyclodextrin (CD)-attached QD nanoparticles were used as host molecules. An adamantane (ADA)-modified TCP1 peptide-targeting ligand (TCP1) was used as the guest molecule. 5-FU and miR-34a(m) were loaded into TCP1-CD-QD nanocarriers, which were used to treat CRC in vitro and in vivo. In addition, the CRC PDX model was used to evaluate the treatment efficacy of this co-delivery system. Results: 5-FU and miR-34a(m) can be efficiently encapsulated into TCP1-CD-QD nanocarriers and delivered into CRC cells, which led to the inhibition of the proliferation and migration of CRC cells in vitro and suppression of tumor growth in a CRC cell-derived tumor xenograft model. The obtained data further suggested that co-delivery of 5-FU and miR-34a(m) could achieve synergistic effects for CRC therapy. Notably, targeted therapy via the co-delivery of 5-FU and miR-34a(m) by TCP1-CD-QD nanocarriers significantly inhibited the growth of PDX tumors. Conclusions: These studies strongly indicate that such a nanocarrier-based co-delivery system is a promising combined therapeutic strategy that utilizes chemotherapeutic drugs and nucleotide drugs for enhancing colorectal cancer targeting and synergistic therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of miR-4443 expression on migration and invasion of breast cancer. METHODS We examined the expression of miR-4443 in breast carcinoma in situ and paired adjacent tissues from 3 breast cancer patients with high-throughput sequencing and verified the results using TCGA database. We also detected miR-4443 expressions using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) in low invasive and highly invasive breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively). The changes in apoptosis, migration and invasion of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells after transfection with miR-4443 mimics, mimics-NC, miR-4443 inhibitor or inhibitor-NC were analyzed using flow cytometry, wound healing assay and Transwell invasion assay. The target gene of miR-4443 was predicted by bioinformatics software and validated by a dual luciferase reporter gene system. RT-qPCR and Western blotting were performed to detect the expression of recombinant human phosphatidyl ethanolamine binding protein 1 (PEBP1) in the transfected cells. RESULTS The expression of miR-4443 was significantly higher in the breast cancer tissues than in the adjacent tissues (P < 0.01), and was significantly up-regulated in MDA-MB-231 cells as compared with MCF-7 cells (P < 0.01). Transfection with miR-4443 mimics or inhibitors did not obviously affect apoptosis rate of the breast cancer cells (P>0.05), but significantly enhanced or weakened the migration and invasion abilities of the cells, respectively (P < 0.01). Bioinformatic analysis identified PEBP1 as the target gene of miR-4443 with a close correlation with metastasis of breast cancer (P < 0.01), and the result was confirmed by double luciferase reporter gene assay. The mRNA and protein expression of PEBP1 were significantly lower in MDA-MB-231 cells than in MCF-7 cells (P < 0.01), and miR-4443 over-expression or knockdown significantly down-regulated or up-regulated PEBP1 expressions in the cells, respectively (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS MiR-4443 promotes the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of PEBP1, suggesting the possibility of suppressing miR-4443 expression as a potential therapeutic strategy for breast cancer.

Abstract
Skeletal metastases are frequent complications of many cancers, causing bone complications (fractures, bone pain, disability) that negatively affect the patient's quality of life. Here, we first discuss the burden of skeletal complications in cancer bone metastasis. We then describe the pathophysiology of bone metastasis. Bone metastasis is a multistage process: long before the development of clinically detectable metastases, circulating tumor cells settle and enter a dormant state in normal vascular and endosteal niches present in the bone marrow, which provide immediate attachment and shelter, and only become active years later as they proliferate and alter the functions of bone-resorbing (osteoclasts) and bone-forming (osteoblasts) cells, promoting skeletal destruction. The molecular mechanisms involved in mediating each of these steps are described, and we also explain how tumor cells interact with a myriad of interconnected cell populations in the bone marrow, including a rich vascular network, immune cells, adipocytes, and nerves. We discuss metabolic programs that tumor cells could engage with to specifically grow in bone. We also describe the progress and future directions of existing bone-targeted agents and report emerging therapies that have arisen from recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of bone metastases. Finally, we discuss the value of bone turnover biomarkers in detection and monitoring of progression and therapeutic effects in patients with bone metastasis.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO), a severe disturbance, imposes heavy physical, psychosocial, and financial burdens and dramatically influences the quality of life of postmenopausal women. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) and microRNAs (miRs) play important roles in the occurrence and development of PMO. However, the roles of circRNAs and miRs in osteoporosis regulation still need to be further investigated. circRNAs with different expression levels in patients with PMO were screened via RNA-seq and bioinformatics analysis. We found that circ_0007059 was upregulated in patients with PMO and during osteoclastogenesis of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs). Next, we investigated the effect of circ_0007059 overexpression during osteoclastogenesis of hBMSCs. circ_0007059 overexpression attenuated hBMSC differentiation into osteoclasts in vitro. This was demonstrated by downregulated bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) expression, upregulated osteoclast-specific gene expression, and TRAP staining. circ_0007059 was demonstrated to directly target miR-378, which in turn targeted BMP-2 via bioinformatics analysis and the dual-luciferase reporter assay. Transfection of the miR-378 mimic reversed the effect of circ_0007059 on the osteoclastogenesis of hBMSCs. These results suggest that circ_0007059 plays an important role in osteoclastogenesis via the miR-378/BMP-2 signaling pathway. Targeting the circ_0007059/miR-378/BMP-2 axis is possibly a novel idea in osteoporosis treatment.

Aging Cell 2020; 19:e13244. [PMID: 33085187 PMCID: PMC7681058 DOI: 10.1111/acel.13244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2020] [Revised: 08/01/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone loss is one of the consequences of aging, leading to diseases such as osteoporosis and increased susceptibility to fragility fractures and therefore considerable morbidity and mortality in humans. Here, we identify microRNA‐146a (miR‐146a) as an essential epigenetic switch controlling bone loss with age. Mice deficient in miR‐146a show regular development of their skeleton. However, while WT mice start to lose bone with age, animals deficient in miR‐146a continue to accrue bone throughout their life span. Increased bone mass is due to increased generation and activity of osteoblasts in miR‐146a‐deficient mice as a result of sustained activation of bone anabolic Wnt signaling during aging. Deregulation of the miR‐146a target genes Wnt1 and Wnt5a parallels bone accrual and osteoblast generation, which is accompanied by reduced development of bone marrow adiposity. Furthermore, miR‐146a‐deficient mice are protected from ovariectomy‐induced bone loss. In humans, the levels of miR‐146a are increased in patients suffering fragility fractures in comparison with those who do not. These data identify miR‐146a as a crucial epigenetic temporal regulator which essentially controls bone homeostasis during aging by regulating bone anabolic Wnt signaling. Therefore, miR‐146a might be a powerful therapeutic target to prevent age‐related bone dysfunctions such as the development of bone marrow adiposity and osteoporosis.

Abstract
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an alphavirus, transmitted by mosquitoes, which causes Chikungunya fever with symptoms of fever, rash, headache, and joint pain. In about 30%-40% of cases, the infection leads to polyarthritis and polyarthralgia. Presently, there are no treatment strategies or vaccine for Chikungunya fever. Moreover, the mechanism of CHIKV induced bone pathology is not fully understood. The modulation of host machinery is known to be essential in establishing viral pathogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate major cellular functions by modulating gene expression. Fascinatingly, recent reports have indicated the role of miRNAs in regulating bone homeostasis and altered expression of miRNAs in bone-related pathological diseases. In this review, we summarize the altered expression of miRNAs during CHIKV pathogenesis and the possible role of miRNAs during bone homeostasis in the context of CHIKV infection. A holistic understanding of the different signaling pathways targeted by miRNAs during bone remodeling and during CHIKV-induced bone pathology may lead to identification of useful biomarkers or therapeutics.

Therapeutic inhibition of microRNA-34a ameliorates aortic valve calcification via modulation of Notch1-Runx2 signalling. Cardiovasc Res 2020; 116:983-994.

Abstract
AIMS Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is the most common valvular heart disease and is increased with elderly population. However, effective drug therapy has not been established yet. This study aimed to investigate the role of microRNAs (miRs) in the development of CAVS. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured the expression of 10 miRs, which were reportedly involved in calcification by using human aortic valve tissue from patients who underwent aortic valve replacement with CAVS or aortic regurgitation (AR) and porcine aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs) after treatment with osteogenic induction medium. We investigated whether a specific miR-inhibitor can suppress aortic valve calcification in wire injury CAVS mice model. Expression of miR-23a, miR-34a, miR-34c, miR-133a, miR-146a, and miR-155 was increased, and expression of miR-27a and miR-204 was decreased in valve tissues from CAVS compared with those from AR. Expression of Notch1 was decreased, and expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) was increased in patients with CAVS compared with those with AR. We selected miR-34a among increased miRs in porcine AVICs after osteogenic treatment, which was consistent with results from patients with CAVS. MiR-34a increased calcium deposition in AVICs compared with miR-control. Notch1 expression was decreased, and Runx2 expression was increased in miR-34a transfected AVICs compared with that in miR-control. Conversely, inhibition of miR-34a significantly attenuated these calcification signals in AVICs compared with miR-control. RNA pull-down assay revealed that miR-34a directly targeted Notch1 expression by binding to Notch1 mRNA 3' untranslated region. In wire injury CAVS mice, locked nucleic acid miR-34a inhibitor suppressed aortic velocity, calcium deposition of aortic valves, and cardiac hypertrophy, which were involved in decreased Runx2 and increased Notch1 expressions. CONCLUSION miR-34a plays an important role in the development of CAVS via Notch1-Runx2 signalling pathway. Inhibition of miR-34a may be the therapeutic target for CAVS.

Abstract
Implant loosening is still the major form of the failure of artificial joints. Herein, inspired by the operculum of the river snail, we prepared a novel bionic micro/nanoscale topography on a titanium surface. This bionic topography promoted early cell adhesion through up-regulating the expression of ITG α5β1 and thus accelerated the following cell spreading, proliferation, and differentiation. Moreover, a miR-21 coating, which promoted the angiogenic differentiation of MSCs, was fabricated on the bionic topography. Benefiting from both bionic micro/nanoscale topography and miR-21, blood vessel growth and bone formation and mineralization around the implant, as well as bone-implant bonding strength, were significantly improved. Collectively, the present study highlights the combination of the bionic micro/nanoscale topography and miR-21 on promoting cell adhesion and angiogenic differentiation and improving in vivo angiogenesis and bone-implant osseointegration. This work provides a new train of thought propelling the development of implants for potential application in the orthopedics field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by bone loss, imbalance of bone metabolism and destruction of trabecular microarchitecture. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been revealed as important biological regulators in human diseases. The expression characteristics and mechanism of circRNAs in osteoporosis are unclear. METHODS The binding sites of miR-516b-5p on circ-SLC8A1 and AKAP2 mRNA were predicted using circAtlas (http://circatlas.biols.ac.cn) and miRDB (http://mirdb.org). Target sites of miR-516b-5p on circ-SLC8A1 and AKAP2 mRNA were confirmed by a dual luciferase assay. The relationship between miR-516b-5p and AKAP2 was determined by a quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Alizarin red S staining and alkaline phosphatase staining were used to observe the level of osteogenic differentiation after transfection. RESULTS The first six circRNAs captured from the 30 circRNAs with highest expression in the bone marrow were examined in a mouse model of osteoporosis and the expression of circ-SLC8A1 was found to be significantly reduced in osteoporosis. Circ-SLC8A1 negatively regulated the expression of miR-516b-5p. Overexpression of circ-SLC8A1 blocked the inhibition of AKAP2 by miR-516b-5p. CONCLUSIONS Circ-SLC8A1 blocks the inhibitory effect of miR-516b-5p on the downstream target gene AKAP2 and promotes osteoporosis. The findings of the present might help to provide a new strategy for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
As the most important bone-resorbing cells, osteoclasts play fundamental roles in bone remodeling and skeletal health. Much effort has been focused on identifying the regulators of osteoclast metabolism. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) reportedly regulate osteoclast formation, differentiation, survival, and bone-resorbing activity to participate in bone physiology and pathology. The present review intends to provide a general framework for how ncRNAs and their targets regulate osteoclast differentiation and the important events of osteoclastogenesis they are involved in, including osteoclast precursor generation, early differentiation, mononuclear osteoclast fusion, and multinucleated osteoclast function and survival. This framework is beneficial for understanding bone biology and for identifying the potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets of bone diseases. The review also summarizes the results of in vivo experiments and classic experiment methods for osteoclast-related researches.

miR-346-3p promotes osteoclastogenesis via inhibiting TRAF3 gene. In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 2020; 56:533-542.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate gene expression and regulate many physiological and pathological conditions. However, their modulation and effect in osteoclastogenesis remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of miR-346-3p in regulating the osteoclast differentiation from RAW264.7 cells. We used the miRNA microarray assay, miR-346-3p mimic transfection, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, bone resorption assay, qRT-PCR, and western blot. Our results showed that the expression of miR-346-3p was significantly upregulated during osteoclast differentiation. Further, by transfecting cells with miR-346-3p mimic, we observed an increased number of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells, increased pit area caused by bone resorption, and enhanced expression of osteoclast-specific genes and proteins. Conversely, miR-346-3p inhibition attenuated the osteoclast differentiation and function. Software-mediated prediction and validation using luciferase reporter assay showed that TRAF3, a negative regulator of osteoclast differentiation, was inhibited by miR-346-3p overexpression. Our results showed that miR-346-3p directly targeted TRAF3 mRNA via binding to its 3'-UTR and inhibited the expression of TRAF3 protein. Taken together, our results revealed that miR-346-3p promotes the regulation of osteoclastogenesis by suppressing the TRAF3 gene. In conclusion, miR-346-3p could be a novel therapeutic target for bone loss-related pathogenesis.

Abstract
Bone metastasis (BM) dramatically reduces the quality of life and life expectancy in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients. There is an urgent need to identify potential biomarkers for application in the treatment of this deadly disease. We compared patient BM, LUAD, and para-LUAD tissues using proteomic analysis and identified aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), which can detoxify acetaldehyde to acetic acid, as one of the key regulators in lung tumor metastasis. Both the mRNA and protein levels of ALDH2 were significantly lower in tumor tissues than in normal tissues and were lowest in BM tissues with increased migratory capacity. Also, ALDH2 was upregulated following treatment with 5-azacitidine, a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, in H1299, H460, and HCC827 cells. Further, we identified a potential methylated CpG island 3, with the longest methylated CpG island area in ALDH2, and performed bisulfite genomic sequencing of these sites. An average of 78.18% of the sites may be methylated in CpG island 3. Knockdown of DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) and methylated CpG binding protein 4 (MBD4) upregulated ALDH2 expression. ALDH2 functions as a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) upstream to inhibit cell proliferation and migration, promote cell apoptosis, and alter the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) by elevating E-cadherin and attenuating vimentin. Cell proliferation and migration were inhibited after the addition of the JNK inhibitor SP600125. In the multivariate analysis, M stage (p = 0.003), ALDH2 (p = 0.008), and phospho-c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) (p = 0.027) expression were independent prognostic factors for overall survival in patients with BM. In vivo experiments also showed that ALDH2 expression could suppress tumor formation. In summary, we found that ALDH2 expression is a prognostic factor for BM in LUAD and that DNMT3A and MBD4 repression of ALDH2 via a MAPK-dependent pathway alters the EMT process, indicating that these proteins could act as potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets for LUAD metastasis.

Abstract
Bone metastasis is a major cause of morbidity within solid tumours of the breast, prostate, lung and kidney. Metastasis to the skeleton is associated with a wide range of complications including bone fractures, spinal cord compression, hypercalcaemia and increased bone pain. Improved treatments for bone metastasis, such as the use of anti-bone resorptive bisphosphonate agents, within post-menopausal women have improved disease-free survival; however, these treatments are not without side effects. There is thus a need for biomarkers, which will predict the risk of developing the spread to bone within these cancers. The application of molecular profiling techniques, together with animal model systems and engineered cell-lines has enabled the identification of a series of potential bone-metastasis biomarker molecules predictive of bone metastasis risk. Some of these biomarker candidates have been validated within patient-derived samples providing a step towards clinical utility. Recent developments in multiplex biomarker quantification now enable the simultaneous measurement of up to 96 micro-RNA/protein molecules in a spatially defined manner with single-cell resolution, thus enabling the characterisation of the key molecules active at the sites of pre-metastatic niche formation as well as tumour-stroma signalling. These technologies have considerable potential to inform biomarker discovery. Additionally, a potential future extension of these discoveries could also be the identification of novel drug targets within cancer spread to bone. This chapter summarises recent findings in biomarker discovery within the key bone metastatic cancers (breast, prostate, lung and renal cell carcinoma). Tissue-based and circulating blood-based biomarkers are discussed from the fields of genomics, epigenetic regulation (micro-RNAs) and protein/cell-signalling together with a discussion of the potential future development of these markers towards clinical development.
