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
Cardiotoxicity is a serious challenge cancer patients face today. Various factors are involved in cardiotoxicity. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are one of the effective factors in the occurrence and prevention of cardiotoxicity. circRNAs can lead to increased proliferation, apoptosis, and regeneration of cardiomyocytes by regulating the molecular pathways, as well as increasing or decreasing gene expression; some circRNAs have a dual role in cardiomyocyte regeneration or death. Identifying each of the pathways related to these processes can be effective on managing patients and preventing cardiotoxicity. In this study, an overview of the molecular pathways involved in cardiotoxicity by circRNAs and their effects on the downstream factors have been discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE During the development of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis, endochondral ossification is compromised which leads to condylar degeneration; miR-335-5p in endochondral ossification in osteoarthritic condylar cartilage tissue remains unclear. METHODS Up-regulated microRNA and its target gene were searched for endochondral ossification in osteoarthritis articular cartilage. The effect of increased or decreased miR-335-5p on endochondral ossification was evaluated by transfecting miR-335-5p mimics or miR-335-5p inhibitor in vitro in chondrocytes C28/I2. Finally, we injected the temporomandibular joint of rats intra-articularly with agomiR-335 in a unilateral anterior crossbite rat model to determine the in vivo regulation of miR-335. RESULTS After the onset of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis, miR-335-5p levels were gradually up-regulated, whereas endochondral ossification-related genes were down-regulated in condylar cartilage specimens. Our results showed that miR-335 inhibited endochondral ossification after administration of a miR-335 antagonist into the temporomandibular joint articular cavity of a unilateral anterior crossbite rat model. AgomiR-335, a miR-335 agonist, inhibited matrix mineralization in fibrocartilage stem cells in vitro and then miR-335-5p negatively regulated chondrocyte activity by directly targeting SP1 via promoting transforming growth factor-β/Smad signalling. CONCLUSION miR-335-5p can significantly inhibit endochondral ossification; therefore, its inhibition may be beneficial for the treatment of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Macrophages play a pivotal role in the crosstalk between the immune and skeletal systems, while Mg-based biomaterials demonstrate immunomodulatory capabilities in this procedure. However, the mechanism of how Mg2+ promotes osteogenesis through the interplay of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and macrophages remains undescribed. Here, we demonstrated that a Mg-cross-linked alginate hydrogel exerted a dual enhancement of BMSCs osteogenic differentiation through the ligand-receptor pairing of the OSM/miR-370-3p-gp130 axis. On the one hand, Mg2+, released from the Mg-cross-linked hydrogel, stimulates bone marrow-derived macrophages to produce and secrete more OSM. On the other hand, Mg2+ lowers the miR-370-3p level in BMSCs and in turn, reverses its suppression on gp130. Then, the OSM binds to the gp130 heterodimer receptor and activates intracellular osteogenic programs in BMSCs. Taken together, this study reveals a novel cross-talk pattern between the skeletal and immune systems under Mg2+ stimulation. This study not only brings new insights into the immunomodulatory properties of Mg-based biomaterials for orthopedic applications but also enriches the miRNA regulatory network and provides a promising target to facilitate bone regeneration in large bone defects.

Abstract
As human life expectancy continues to rise, becoming a pressing global concern, it brings into focus the underlying mechanisms of aging. The increasing lifespan has led to a growing elderly population grappling with age-related diseases (ARDs), which strains healthcare systems and economies worldwide. While human senescence was once regarded as an immutable and inexorable phenomenon, impervious to interventions, the emerging field of geroscience now offers innovative approaches to aging, holding the promise of extending the period of healthspan in humans. Understanding the intricate links between aging and pathologies is essential in addressing the challenges presented by aging populations. A substantial body of evidence indicates shared mechanisms and pathways contributing to the development and progression of various ARDs. Consequently, novel interventions targeting the intrinsic mechanisms of aging have the potential to delay the onset of diverse pathological conditions, thereby extending healthspan. In this narrative review, we discuss the most promising methods and interventions aimed at modulating aging, which harbor the potential to mitigate ARDs in the future. We also outline the complexity of senescence and review recent empirical evidence to identify rational strategies for promoting healthy aging.

Zishen Yutai pills restore fertility in premature ovarian failure through regulating arachidonic acid metabolism and the ATK pathway. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 324:117782. [PMID: 38272104 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.117782] [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: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The Zishen Yutai pills (ZYP), a Chinese medicinal formulation derived from the Qing Dynasty prescription "Shou Tai pills", have been documented to exhibit beneficial effects in clinical observations treating premature ovarian failure (POF). However, the anti-POF effects and its comprehensive systemic mechanism have not yet been clarified. AIM OF THE REVIEW Therapeutic effects and systemic mechanism of ZYP in POF were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS After pulverization, sieving, and stirring, ZYP was administered intragastrically to cisplatin-induced POF mice at a dose of 1.95 mg/kg/d for 14 days. The anti-POF effects of ZYP were investigated by assessing the number of ovarian follicles at different developmental stages, as well as measuring serum estradiol (E2) levels and ovarian-expressed anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). Reproductive performance and offspring health were evaluated to predict fertility restoration. Furthermore, a combination of proteomic and metabolomic profiling was employed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism of ZYP in treating POF. Western blot (WB) analyses and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) were conducted to explore the mechanisms through which ZYP exerted its anti-POF effects. RESULTS We have demonstrated that oral administration of ZYP reversed the reduction in follicles at different developmental stages and stimulated the expressions of serum E2 and ovarian-expressed AMH in a cisplatin-induced POF model. Additionally, ZYP ameliorated follicle apoptosis in ovaries affected by cisplatin-induced POF. Furthermore, treatment with ZYP restored the quantity and quality of oocytes, as well as enhanced fertility. Our results revealed 62 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) through proteomic analyses and identified 26 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) through metabolomic analyses. Both DEPs and DEMs were highly enriched in the arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism pathway. ZYP treatment effectively upregulated the protein and mRNA expression of critical targets in AA metabolism and the AKT pathway, including CYP17α1, HSD3β1, LHR, STAR, and AKT, in cisplatin-induced POF mice. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that ZYP exerted protective effects against POF and restored fertility from cisplatin-induced apoptosis. ZYP could be a satisfying alternative treating POF.

Abstract
Ferroptosis and ferritinophagy play critical roles in various disease contexts. Herein, we observed that ferroptosis and ferritinophagy were induced both in the brains of mice with diabetes mellitus (DM) and neuronal cells after high glucose (HG) treatment, as evidenced by decreases in GPX4, SLC7A11, and ferritin levels, but increases in NCOA4 levels. Interestingly, melatonin administration ameliorated neuronal damage by inhibiting ferroptosis and ferritinophagy both in vivo and in vitro. At the molecular level, we found that not only the ferroptosis inducer p53 but also the ferritinophagy mediator NCOA4 was the potential target of miR-214-3p, which was downregulated by DM status or HG insult, but was increased after melatonin treatment. However, the inhibitory effects of melatonin on ferroptosis and ferritinophagy were blocked by miR-214-3p downregulation. These findings suggest that melatonin is a potential drug for improving diabetic brain damage by inhibiting p53-mediated ferroptosis and NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy through regulating miR-214-3p in neurons.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is a complex process involving the coordinated actions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts to maintain bone homeostasis. While the influence of osteoblasts on osteoclast differentiation is well established, the reciprocal regulation of osteoblasts by osteoclasts has long remained enigmatic. In the past few years, a fascinating new role for osteoclasts has been unveiled in promoting bone formation and facilitating osteoblast migration to the remodeling sites through a number of different mechanisms, including the release of factors from the bone matrix following bone resorption and direct cell-cell interactions. Additionally, considerable evidence has shown that osteoclasts can secrete coupling factors known as clastokines, emphasizing the crucial role of these cells in maintaining bone homeostasis. Due to their osteoprotective function, clastokines hold great promise as potential therapeutic targets for bone diseases. However, despite long-standing work to uncover new clastokines and their effect in vivo, more substantial efforts are still required to decipher the mechanisms and pathways behind their activity in order to translate them into therapies. This comprehensive review provides insights into our evolving understanding of the osteoclast function, highlights the significance of clastokines in bone remodeling, and explores their potential as treatments for bone diseases suggesting future directions for the field.

Abstract
During spaceflight, the cardiovascular system undergoes remarkable adaptation to microgravity and faces the risk of cardiac remodeling. Therefore, the effects and mechanisms of microgravity on cardiac morphology, physiology, metabolism, and cellular biology need to be further investigated. Since China started constructing the China Space Station (CSS) in 2021, we have taken advantage of the Shenzhou-13 capsule to send human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) to the Tianhe core module of the CSS. In this study, hPSC-CMs subjected to space microgravity showed decreased beating rate and abnormal intracellular calcium cycling. Metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses revealed a battery of metabolic remodeling of hPSC-CMs in spaceflight, especially thiamine metabolism. The microgravity condition blocked the thiamine intake in hPSC-CMs. The decline of thiamine utilization under microgravity or by its antagonistic analog amprolium affected the process of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It decreased ATP production, which led to cytoskeletal remodeling and calcium homeostasis imbalance in hPSC-CMs. More importantly, in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that thiamine supplementation could reverse the adaptive changes induced by simulated microgravity. This study represents the first astrobiological study on the China Space Station and lays a solid foundation for further aerospace biomedical research. These data indicate that intervention of thiamine-modified metabolic reprogramming in human cardiomyocytes during spaceflight might be a feasible countermeasure against microgravity.

Abstract
Osteoclast precursors (OCPs) are thought to commit to osteoclast differentiation, which is accelerated by aging-related chronic inflammation, thereby leading to osteoporosis. However, whether the fate of OCPs can be reshaped to transition into other cell lineages is unknown. Here, we showed that M2 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (M2-EVs) could reprogram OCPs to downregulate osteoclast-specific gene expression and convert OCPs to M2 macrophage-like lineage cells, which reshaped the fate of OCPs by delivering the molecular metabolite glutamate. Upon delivery of glutamate, glutamine metabolism in OCPs was markedly enhanced, resulting in the increased production of α-ketoglutarate (αKG), which participates in Jmjd3-dependent epigenetic reprogramming, causing M2-like macrophage differentiation. Thus, we revealed a novel transformation of OCPs into M2-like macrophages via M2-EVs-initiated metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic modification. Our findings suggest that M2-EVs can reestablish the balance between osteoclasts and M2 macrophages, alleviate the symptoms of bone loss, and constitute a new approach for bone-targeted therapy to treat osteoporosis.

Abstract
Exosomal microRNAs (exomiRNAs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for the early clinical diagnosis of osteoporosis. However, their limited abundance and short length in peripheral blood present significant challenges for the accurate detection of exomiRNAs. Herein, we have designed and implemented an efficacious fluorescence-based biosensor for the highly sensitive detection of exomiRNA associated with osteoporosis, leveraging the enhancing 3D DNA walker-induced CRISPR/Cas12a technology. The engineered DNA walker is capable of efficiently transforming target exomiRNA into amplifying DNA strands, thereby enhancing the sensitivity of the developed biosensor. Concurrently, the liberated DNA strands serve as activators to trigger Cas12a trans-cleavage activity, culminating in a significantly amplified fluorescent signal for the highly sensitive detection of exomiRNA-214. Under optimal conditions, the devised technology demonstrated the capacity to detect target exomiRNA-214 at concentrations as low as 20.42 fM, encompassing a wide linear range extending from 50.0 fM to 10.0 nM. Moreover, the fluorescence-based biosensor could accurately differentiate between healthy individuals and osteoporosis patients via the detection of exomiRNA-214, which was in agreement with RT-qPCR results. As such, this biosensing technology offers promise as a valuable tool for the early diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Abstract
The dynamic balance between bone formation and bone resorption is a critical process of bone remodeling. The imbalance of bone formation and bone resorption is closely associated with the occurrence and development of various bone-related diseases. Under both physiological and pathological conditions, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a crucial regulatory role in protein expression through either inhibiting mRNAs translation or promoting mRNAs degradation. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a type of non-linear ncRNAs that can resist the degradation of RNA exonucleases. There is accumulating evidence suggesting that circRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs) serve as critical regulators of bone remodeling through their direct or indirect regulation of the expression of osteogenesis-related genes. Additionally, recent studies have revealed the involvement of the circRNAs-miRNAs regulatory network in the process by which mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate towards the osteoblasts (OB) lineage and the process by which bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) differentiate towards osteoclasts (OC). The circRNA-miRNA network plays an important regulatory role in the osteoblastic-osteoclastic balance of bone remodeling. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the circRNA-miRNA regulatory mechanisms will contribute to a better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of the balance between osteoblastic and osteoclastic activities in the process of bone remodeling and the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases. Herein, we reviewed the functions of circRNA and microRNA. We also reviewed their roles in and the mechanisms of the circRNA-miRNA regulatory network in the process of bone remodeling. This review provides references and ideas for further research on the regulation of bone remodeling and the prevention and treatment of bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a major complication of death from bacterial infection. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are important regulators in addressing lung injury. Considering the extensive research of circular RNAs (circRNAs), the role of circRNA in Treg modulation during ARDS remains unclear. In this study, patients with sepsis-induced ARDS along with non-ARDS controls were obtained, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected as clinical samples. Additionally, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was performed to construct a septic ARDS model, and lung tissues as well as peripheral blood were collected. mRNA expressions were measured by RT-qPCR. ELISA was carried out to measure the concentration of inflammatory factors. A combination of online bioinformatics, dual-luciferase reporter, and RND pull-down assays was performed to verify interactions between microRNA (miRNA) and circRNA/mRNA. Tregs were measured by flow cytometry. Our data suggested that circFLNA was aberrantly elevated in ARDS, and depletion of circFLNA upregulated CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs and decreased inflammatory response. Additionally, miR-214-5p which binds with circFLNA, reversed circFLNA-induced effects in ARDS. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is a downstream target gene of miR-214-5p, and abrogated the effects of miR-214-5p on regulating CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs and inflammatory response. In a word, circFLNA/miR-214-5p/PD-1 signaling is a novel pathway that modulates Tregs in ARDS.

Abstract
Matrix vesicles (MVs) have shown strong effects in diseases such as vascular ectopic calcification and pathological calcified osteoarthritis and in wound repair of the skeletal system due to their membranous vesicle characteristics and abundant calcium and phosphorus content. However, the role of MVs in the progression of osteoporosis is poorly understood. Here, we report that annexin A5, an important component of the matrix vesicle membrane, plays a vital role in bone matrix homeostasis in the deterioration of osteoporosis. We first identified annexin A5 from adherent MVs but not dissociative MVs of osteoblasts and found that it could be sharply decreased in the bone matrix during the occurrence of osteoporosis based on ovariectomized mice. We then confirmed its potential in mediating the mineralization of the precursor osteoblast lineage via its initial binding with collagen type I to achieve MV adhesion and the subsequent activation of cellular autophagy. Finally, we proved its protective role in resisting bone loss by applying it to osteoporotic mice. Taken together, these data revealed the importance of annexin A5, originating from adherent MVs of osteoblasts, in bone matrix remodeling of osteoporosis and provided a new strategy for the treatment and intervention of bone loss.

Abstract
Osteoblasts, cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the bone marrow, are cells responsible for bone formation and remodeling. The differentiation of osteoblasts from MSCs is triggered by the expression of specific genes, which are subsequently controlled by pro-osteogenic pathways. Mature osteoblasts then differentiate into osteocytes and are embedded in the bone matrix. Dysregulation of osteoblast function can cause inadequate bone formation, which leads to the development of bone disease. Various key molecules are involved in the regulation of osteoblastogenesis, which are transcription factors. Previous studies have heavily examined the role of factors that control gene expression during osteoblastogenesis, both in vitro and in vivo. However, the systematic relationship of these transcription factors remains unknown. The involvement of ncRNAs in this mechanism, particularly miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, has been shown to influence transcriptional factor activity in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Here, we discuss nine essential transcription factors involved in osteoblast differentiation, including Runx2, Osx, Dlx5, β-catenin, ATF4, Ihh, Satb2, and Shn3. In addition, we summarize the role of ncRNAs and their relationship to these essential transcription factors in order to improve our understanding of the transcriptional regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Adequate exploration and understanding of the molecular mechanisms of osteoblastogenesis can be a critical strategy in the development of therapies for bone-related diseases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenic differentiation and osteoblast function play critical roles in bone formation, which is a highly regulated process. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) perform diverse functions in a variety of biological processes, including BMSC osteogenic differentiation. Although several studies have reported that HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) is involved in BMSC osteogenic differentiation, its effect on bone formation in vivo remains unclear. Here, by constructing transgenic mice with BMSC (Prx1-HOTAIR)- and osteoblast (Bglap-HOTAIR)-specific overexpression of HOTAIR, we found that Prx1-HOTAIR and Bglap-HOTAIR transgenic mice show different bone phenotypes in vivo. Specifically, Prx1-HOTAIR mice showed delayed bone formation, while Bglap-HOTAIR mice showed increased bone formation. HOTAIR inhibits BMSC osteogenic differentiation but promotes osteoblast function in vitro. Furthermore, we identified that HOTAIR is mainly located in the nucleus of BMSCs and in the cytoplasm of osteoblasts. HOTAIR displays a nucleocytoplasmic translocation pattern during BMSC osteogenic differentiation. We first identified that the RNA-binding protein human antigen R (HuR) is responsible for HOTAIR nucleocytoplasmic translocation. HOTAIR is essential for osteoblast function, and cytoplasmic HOTAIR binds to miR-214 and acts as a ceRNA to increase Atf4 protein levels and osteoblast function. Bglap-HOTAIR mice, but not Prx1-HOTAIR mice, showed alleviation of bone loss induced by unloading. This study reveals the importance of temporal and spatial regulation of HOTAIR in BMSC osteogenic differentiation and bone formation, which provides new insights into precise regulation as a target for bone loss.

Abstract
The development of surface modification techniques has brought about a major paradigm shift in the clinical applications of bone tissue regeneration. Biofabrication strategies enable the creation of scaffolds with specific microstructural environments and biological components. Lithium (Li) has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory, osteogenic, and chondrogenic properties by promoting several intracellular signaling pathways. Currently, research focuses on fabricating scaffolds with simultaneous dual bioactivities to enhance osteochondral regeneration. In this study, we modified the surface of calcium silicate (CS) scaffolds with Li using a simple immersion technique and evaluated their capabilities for bone regeneration. The results showed that Li ions could be easily coated onto the surfaces of CS scaffolds without affecting the microstructural properties of CS itself. Furthermore, the modifications did not affect the printing capabilities of the CS, and porous scaffolds could be fabricated via extrusion. Moreover, the presence of Li improved the surface roughness and hydrophilicity, thus leading to enhanced secretion of osteochondral-related regeneration factors, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone sialoprotein (BSP), and collagen II (Col II) proteins. Subsequent in vivo studies, including histological and micro-CT analyses, confirmed that the Li-modified CS scaffolds promoted osteochondral regeneration. The transcriptome analysis suggested that the enhanced osteochondrogenic capabilities of our scaffolds were influenced by paracrine exosomes. We hope this study will inspire further research on osteochondral regeneration.

Commun Biol 2023; 6:932. [PMID: 37700159 PMCID: PMC10497574 DOI: 10.1038/s42003-023-05316-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Neurogenic heterotopic ossifications are intramuscular bone formations developing following central nervous system injury. The pathophysiology is poorly understood and current treatments for this debilitating condition remain unsatisfying. Here we explored the role of miRNAs in a clinically relevant mouse model that combines muscle and spinal cord injury, and in patients' cells. We found an osteo-suppressive miRNAs response in injured muscle that was hindered when the spinal cord injury was associated. In isolated fibro-adipogenic progenitors from damaged muscle (cells at the origin of ossification), spinal cord injury induced a downregulation of osteo-suppressive miRNAs while osteogenic markers were overexpressed. The overexpression of selected miRNAs in patient's fibro-adipogenic progenitors inhibited mineralization and osteo-chondrogenic markers in vitro. Altogether, we highlighted an osteo-suppressive mechanism involving multiple miRNAs in response to muscle injury that prevents osteogenic commitment which is ablated by the neurologic lesion in heterotopic ossification pathogenesis. This provides new research hypotheses for preventive treatments.

Cell Death Discov 2023; 9:311. [PMID: 37626043 PMCID: PMC10457354 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-023-01608-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Alcohol abuse is a significant cause of global morbidity and mortality, with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) being a common consequence. The pathogenesis of ALD involves various cellular processes, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and hepatic cell death. Recently, ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death, has emerged as a potential mechanism in many diseases. However, the specific involvement and regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis in ALD remain poorly understood. Here we aimed to investigate the presence and mechanism of alcohol-induced ferroptosis and the involvement of miRNAs in regulating ferroptosis sensitivity. Our findings revealed that long-term ethanol feeding induced ferroptosis in male mice, as evidenced by increased expression of ferroptosis-related genes, lipid peroxidation, and labile iron accumulation in the liver. Furthermore, we identified dysregulation of the methionine cycle and transsulfuration pathway, leading to severe glutathione (GSH) exhaustion and indirect deactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), a critical enzyme in preventing ferroptosis. Additionally, we identified miR-214 as a ferroptosis regulator in ALD, enhancing hepatocyte ferroptosis by transcriptionally activating the expression of ferroptosis-driver genes. Our study provides novel insights into the involvement and regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis in ALD, highlighting the potential therapeutic implications of targeting ferroptosis and miRNAs in ALD management.

Abstract
Bone tissue plays a crucial role in protecting internal organs and providing structural support and locomotion of the body. Treatment of hard tissue defects and medical conditions due to physical injuries, genetic disorders, aging, metabolic syndromes, and infections is more often a complex and drawn out process. Presently, dealing with hard-tissue-based clinical problems is still mostly conducted via surgical interventions. However, advances in nanotechnology over the last decades have led to shifting trends in clinical practice toward noninvasive and microinvasive methods. In this review article, recent advances in the development of nanoscale platforms for bone tissue engineering have been reviewed and critically discussed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of noninvasive and microinvasive methods for treating medical conditions related to hard tissue regeneration and repair.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) play essential roles in multiple physiological processes including bone formation. Investigators have revealed that LncRNAs regulated bone formation through various signaling pathways and micro RNAs (miRNAs). However, several problems exist in current research studies on osteogenic LncRNAs, including sophisticated techniques, high cost for in vivo experiment, as well as low homology of LncRNAs between animal model and human, which hindered translational medicine research. Moreover, compared with gene editing, LncRNAs would only lead to inhibition of target genes rather than completely knocking them out. As the studies on osteogenic LncRNA gradually proceed, some of these problems have turned osteogenic LncRNA research studies into slump. This review described some new techniques and innovative ideas to address these problems. Although investigations on osteogenic LncRNAs still have obtacles to overcome, LncRNA will work as a promising therapeutic drug for osteoporosis in the near future.

Abstract
miR-196b-5p plays a role in various malignancies. We have recently reported its function in regulating adipogenesis. However, it remains to be clarified whether and how miR-196b-5p affects bone cells and bone homeostasis. In this study, in vitro functional experiments showed an inhibitory effect of miR-196b-5p on osteoblast differentiation. Mechanistic explorations revealed that miR-196b-5p directly targeted semaphorin 3a (Sema3a) and inhibited Wnt/β-catenin signaling. SEMA3A attenuated the impaired osteogenesis induced by miR-196b-5p. Osteoblast-specific miR-196b transgenic mice showed significant reduction of bone mass. Trabecular osteoblasts were reduced and bone formation was suppressed, whereas osteoclasts, marrow adipocytes, and serum levels of bone resorption markers were increased in the transgenic mice. The osteoblastic progenitor cells from the transgenic mice had decreased SEMA3A levels and exhibited retarded osteogenic differentiation, whereas those marrow osteoclastic progenitors exhibited enhanced osteoclastogenic differentiation. miR-196b-5p and SEMA3A oppositely regulated the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand and osteoprotegerin. The calvarial osteoblastic cells expressing the transgene promoted osteoclastogenesis, whereas the osteoblasts overexpressing Sema3a inhibited it. Finally, in vivo transfection of miR-196b-5p inhibitor to the marrow reduced ovariectomy-induced bone loss in mice. Our study has identified that miR-196b-5p plays a key role in osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation and regulates bone homeostasis. Inhibition of miR-196b-5p may be beneficial for amelioration of osteoporosis. © 2023 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The function of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from patients with osteoporosis (OP) is impaired and worsens in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Icariin (ICA) is the major active flavonoid glucoside isolated from traditional Chinese herbal Epimedium pubescens, and confirmed able to improve bone mass of OP patients. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of ICA on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone-derived MSCs (BMSCs) from patients with OP and T2DM and uncover the potential mechanism. METHODS BMSCs were treated with ICA, and proliferation and osteogenic potency were evaluated using the 2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and detection of osteogenic markers (ALP, RUNX2, SPP1, COL1A1, and mineralized nodules) was performed. RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis were performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) after ICA treatment and screen proliferation- and osteogenic differentiation-related processes. Gene gain and loss were performed to confirm the role of the key candidate gene. RESULTS ICA significantly promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. A total of 173 DEGs were identified after ICA treatment. Six DEGs (GLI-1, IGF2, BMP6, WNT5A, PTHLH, and MAPK14) enriched in both proliferation- and osteogenic differentiation-related processes were screened; GLI-1 had the highest validated |log2FC| value. Overexpression of GLI-1 enhanced the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and knockdown of GLI-1 weakened the positive effect of ICA on BMSCs. CONCLUSION ICA promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of impaired BMSCs by upregulating GLI-1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is a partial or total necrosis of femoral head bone caused by blood supply disorder and its etiology is not clear. Studies have revealed that microRNA-214-3p (miR-214-3p) plays a vital role in LCPD, however, its exact mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the potential role of chondrocytes-derived exosomes carrying miR-214-3p (exos-miR-214-3p) in the pathogenesis of LCPD. METHODS RT-qPCR was performed to evaluate miR-214-3p expression level in femoral head cartilage, serum and chondrocytes of patients with LCPD, as well as dexamethasone (DEX)-exposed TC28 cells. Effects of exos-miR-214-3p on the proliferation and apoptosis were verified via MTT assay, TUNEL staining and caspase3 activity assay. The M2 macrophage markers were assessed by flow cytometry, RT-qPCR and Western blot. Moreover, angiogenic effects of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were tested using CCK-8 and tube formation assays. Bioinformatics prediction, luciferase assay and ChIP were applied to verify the association between ATF7, RUNX1 and miR-214-3p. RESULTS miR-214-3p was found to be decreased in patients with LCPD and DEX-treated TC28 cells, of which overexpression promoted cell proliferation and suppressed apoptosis. Mechanistically, exos-miR-214-3p facilitated M2 polarization by ATF7/TLR4 axis and HUVECs angiogenesis via RUNX1/VEGFA axis. CONCLUSION miR-214-3p alleviates LCPD by promoting M2 polarization of macrophages and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Since the proposal of Paul Ehrlich's magic bullet concept over 100 years ago, tremendous advances have occurred in targeted therapy. From the initial selective antibody, antitoxin to targeted drug delivery that emerged in the past decades, more precise therapeutic efficacy is realized in specific pathological sites of clinical diseases. As a highly pyknotic mineralized tissue with lessened blood flow, bone is characterized by a complex remodeling and homeostatic regulation mechanism, which makes drug therapy for skeletal diseases more challenging than other tissues. Bone-targeted therapy has been considered a promising therapeutic approach for handling such drawbacks. With the deepening understanding of bone biology, improvements in some established bone-targeted drugs and novel therapeutic targets for drugs and deliveries have emerged on the horizon. In this review, we provide a panoramic summary of recent advances in therapeutic strategies based on bone targeting. We highlight targeting strategies based on bone structure and remodeling biology. For bone-targeted therapeutic agents, in addition to improvements of the classic denosumab, romosozumab, and PTH1R ligands, potential regulation of the remodeling process targeting other key membrane expressions, cellular crosstalk, and gene expression, of all bone cells has been exploited. For bone-targeted drug delivery, different delivery strategies targeting bone matrix, bone marrow, and specific bone cells are summarized with a comparison between different targeting ligands. Ultimately, this review will summarize recent advances in the clinical translation of bone-targeted therapies and provide a perspective on the challenges for the application of bone-targeted therapy in the clinic and future trends in this area.

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
Chronic stress induces depression- and anxiety-related behaviors, which are common mental disorders accompanied not only by dysfunction of the brain but also of the intestine. Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) is a stress-induced gene, and we previously show that it is important for gut functions; however, the contribution of the intestinal ATF4 to stress-related behaviors is not known. Here, we show that chronic stress inhibits the expression of ATF4 in gut epithelial cells. ATF4 overexpression in the colon relieves stress-related behavioral alterations in male mice, as measured by open-field test, elevated plus-maze test, and tail suspension test, whereas intestine-specific ATF4 knockout induces stress-related behavioral alterations in male mice. Furthermore, glutamatergic neurons are inhibited in the paraventricular thalamus (PVT) of two strains of intestinal ATF4-deficient mice, and selective activation of these neurons alleviates stress-related behavioral alterations in intestinal ATF4-deficient mice. The highly expressed gut-secreted peptide trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) is chosen from RNA-Seq data from ATF4 deletion mice and demonstrated decreased in gut epithelial cells, which is directly regulated by ATF4. Injection of TFF3 reverses stress-related behaviors in ATF4 knockout mice, and the beneficial effects of TFF3 are blocked by inhibiting PVT glutamatergic neurons using DREADDs. In summary, this study demonstrates the function of ATF4 in the gut-brain regulation of stress-related behavioral alterations, via TFF3 modulating PVT neural activity. This research provides evidence of gut signals regulating stress-related behavioral alterations and identifies possible drug targets for the treatment of stress-related behavioral disorders.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:262. [PMID: 37016415 PMCID: PMC10071705 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06136-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 04/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis (OP) is a common bone disease marked by decreased bone strength. Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) play important roles in the occurrence and progression of OP. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of LINC00205 in the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and OP. METHODS Bone tissue samples were obtained from healthy controls and patients with osteoporosis with a spinal fracture (OP-Frx) or without a spinal fracture (OP-no-Frx). HMSCs were cultured and induced to undergo osteogenic differentiation. The expression of LINC00205, lysine (K)-specific methyltransferase 2C (KMT2C), and miR-26b-5p in bone tissues and cells was evaluated using western blotting and real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The effects of LINC00205, miR-26b-5p, and KMT2C on calcium deposition, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and mRNA levels of the osteogenic differentiation marker genes [ALP, osteocalcin (OCN), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2)] were investigated using alizarin red S staining, an ALP activity assay, and qRT-PCR, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to ascertain the binding relationship between miR-26b-5p and LINC00205/KMT2C. RESULTS LINC00205 and KMT2C were upregulated in patients with OP-Frx and OP-no-Frx, whereas miR-26b-5p was downregulated. Furthermore, LINC00205 and KMT2C expression decreased, whereas that of miR-26b-5p increased over time from day 7 to 21 of the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. The knockdown of LINC00205 and KMT2C significantly increased ALP activity, calcium deposition, and the expression of RUNX2, ALP, and OCN. In contrast, the inhibition of miR-26b-5p yielded the opposite result. These data suggest that LINC00205 inhibits the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs by modulating the miR-26b-5p/KMT2C signaling axis. CONCLUSION LINC00205 promotes OP and is involved in spinal fractures. LINC00205 is also a potential negative regulator of the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a comprehensive process that involves different stages, and various growth factors (GFs) play crucial roles in the entire process. GFs are currently widely used in clinical settings to promote bone repair; however, the direct application of GFs is often limited by their fast degradation and short local residual time. Additionally, GFs are expensive, and their use may carry risks of ectopic osteogenesis and potential tumor formation. Nanomaterials have recently shown great promise in delivering GFs for bone regeneration, as they can protect fragile GFs and control their release. Moreover, functional nanomaterials can directly activate endogenous GFs, modulating the regeneration process. This review provides a summary of the latest advances in using nanomaterials to deliver exogenous GFs and activate endogenous GFs to promote bone regeneration. We also discuss the potential for synergistic applications of nanomaterials and GFs in bone regeneration, along with the challenges and future directions that need to be addressed.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a systemic endocrine disease affecting women's reproductive health. Ovarian angiogenesis in PCOS patients is abnormal, manifested by increased ovarian stromal vascularization and upregulated proangiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). However, the specific mechanisms underlying these changes in PCOS remain unknown. In this study, we induced the adipogenic differentiation in preadipocyte 3T3-L1 cells and found that adipocyte-derived exosomes promoted proliferation, migration, tube formation, and VEGFA expression in human ovarian microvascular endothelial cells (HOMECs) by delivering miR-30c-5p. Mechanistically, dual luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-30c-5p directly targeted the 3'- untranslated region (UTR) of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) mRNA. In addition, adipocyte-derived exosomal miR-30c-5p activated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)/VEGFA pathway in HOMECs via targeting SOCS3. In vivo experiments indicated that tail vein injection of adipocyte-derived exosomes exacerbated endocrine and metabolic disorders and ovarian angiogenesis in mice with PCOS via miR-30c-5p. Taken together, the study revealed that adipocyte-derived exosomal miR-30c-5p promotes ovarian angiogenesis via the SOCS3/STAT3/VEGFA pathway, thereby participating in the development of PCOS.

Abstract
Thousands of unique noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are expressed in human cells, some are tissue or cell type specific whereas others are considered as house-keeping molecules. Studies over the last decade have modified our perception of ncRNAs from transcriptional noise to functional regulatory transcripts that influence a variety of molecular processes such as chromatin remodeling, transcription, post-transcriptional modifications, or signal transduction. Consequently, aberrant expression of many ncRNAs plays a causative role in the initiation and progression of various diseases. Since the identification of its developmental role, the long ncRNA DNM3OS (Dynamin 3 Opposite Strand) has attracted attention of researchers in distinct fields including oncology, fibroproliferative diseases, or bone disorders. Mechanistic studies have in particular revealed the multifaceted nature of DNM3OS and its important pathogenic role in several human disorders. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of DNM3OS functions in diseases, with an emphasis on its potential as a novel therapeutic target. This article is categorized under: RNA in Disease and Development > RNA in Disease RNA in Disease and Development > RNA in Development.

Abstract
Background The decreased osteogenic differentiation ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is one of the important reasons for SOP. Inhibition of Wnt signaling in MSCs is closely related to SOP. Microtubule actin crosslinking factor 1 (MACF1) is an important regulator in Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction. However, whether the specific expression of MACF1 in MSC regulates SOP and its mechanism remains unclear. Methods We established MSC-specific Prrx1 (Prx1) promoter-driven MACF1 conditional knock-in (MACF-KI) mice, naturally aged male mice, and ovariectomized female mice models. Micro-CT, H&E staining, double calcein labeling, and the three-point bending test were used to explore the effects of MACF1 on bone formation and bone microstructure in the SOP mice model. Bioinformatics analysis, ChIP-PCR, qPCR, and ALP staining were used to explore the effects and mechanisms of MACF1 on MSCs' osteogenic differentiation. Results Microarray analysis revealed that the expression of MACF1 and positive regulators of the Wnt pathway (such as TCF4, β-catenin, Dvl) was decreased in human MSCs (hMSCs) isolated from aged osteoporotic than non-osteoporotic patients. The ALP activity and osteogenesis marker genes (Alp, Runx2, and Bglap) expression in mouse MSCs was downregulated during aging. Furthermore, Micro-CT analysis of the femur from 2-month-old MSC-specific Prrx1 (Prx1) promoter-driven MACF1 conditional knock-in (MACF-cKI) mice showed no significant trabecular bone changes compared to wild-type littermate controls, whereas 18- and 21-month-old MACF1 c-KI animals displayed increased bone mineral densities (BMD), improved bone microstructure, and increased maximum compression stress. In addition, the ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis model of MACF1 c-KI mice had significantly higher trabecular volume and number, and increased bone formation rate than that in control mice. Mechanistically, ChIP-PCR showed that TCF4 could bind to the promoter region of the host gene miR-335-5p. Moreover, MACF1 could regulate the expression of miR-335-5p by TCF4 during the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Conclusion These data indicate that MACF1 positively regulates MSCs osteogenesis and bone formation through the TCF4/miR-335-5p signaling pathway in SOP, suggesting that targeting MACF1 may be a novel therapeutic approach against SOP. The translational potential of this article MACF1, an important switch in the Wnt signaling pathway, can alleviate SOP through the TCF4/miR-335-5p signaling pathway in mice model. It might act as a therapeutic target for the treatment of SOP to improve bone function.

Long Z, Dou P, Cai W, Mao M, Wu R. MiR-181a-5p promotes osteogenesis by targeting BMP3. Aging (Albany NY) 2023; 15:734-747. [PMID: 36734882 PMCID: PMC9970307 DOI: 10.18632/aging.204505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
High-throughput microRNA (miRNA) sequencing of osteoporosis was analyzed from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to investigate specific microRNAs that control osteogenesis. MiR-181a-5p was differentially expressed among healthy subjects and those with osteoporosis. Inhibitors and mimics were transfected into cells to modulate miR-181a-5p levels to examine the role in MC3T3-E1 functions. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining were used for morphological detection, and proteins of ALP and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), as osteogenesis markers, were detected. During the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1, the transcription level of miR-181a-5p was significantly increased. The inhibition of miR-181a-5p suppressed MC3T3-E1 osteogenic differentiation, whereas its overexpression functioned oppositely. Consistently, the miR-181a-5p antagomir aggravated osteoporosis in old mice. Additionally, we predicted potential target genes via TargetScan and miRDB and identified bone morphogenetic protein 3 (BMP3) as the target gene. Moreover, the reduced expression of miR-181a-5p was validated in our hospitalized osteoporotic patients. These findings have substantial implications for the strategies targeting miR-181a-5p to prevent osteoporosis and potential related fractures.

Histone methyltransferase Setdb1 mediates osteogenic differentiation by suppressing the expression of miR-212-3p under mechanical unloading. Cell Signal 2023; 102:110554. [PMID: 36476391 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2022.110554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that multiple mechanisms are involved in bone loss induced by mechanical unloading. Thus far, few study has established the pathophysiological role of histone modification for osteogenic differentiation under mechanical unloading. Here we demonstrated that the histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase Setdb1, which was sensitive to mechanical unloading, was increased during osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells for the first time. Knockdown of Setdb1 significantly blocked osteoblast function in vivo and in vitro. Through bioinformatics analysis of candidate miRNAs regulated by H3K9me3, we further identified that Setdb1 inhibited the expression of miR-212-3p by regulating the formation of H3K9me3 in the promoter region. Mechanically, we revealed that miR-212-3p was upregulated under mechanical unloading and suppressed osteogenic differentiation by directly downregulating High mobility group box 1 protein (Hmgb1) expression. Furthermore, we verified the molecular mechanism of the SETDB1/miR-212-3p/HMGB1 pathway in hFOB cells under mechanical unloading. In summary, these data demonstrate the essential function of the Setdb1/miR-212-3p/Hmgb1 pathway in osteogenic differentiation under mechanical unloading, and present a potential protective strategies against bone loss induced by mechanical unloading.

Abstract
(1) Background: DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are the most serious form of DNA damage that affects oocyte maturation and the physiological state of follicles and ovaries. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a crucial role in DNA damage and repair. This study aims to analyze and establish the network of ncRNAs when DSB occurs and provide new ideas for next research on the mechanism of cumulus DSB. (2) Methods: Bovine cumulus cells (CCs) were treated with bleomycin (BLM) to construct a DSB model. We detected the changes of the cell cycle, cell viability, and apoptosis to determine the effect of DSBs on cell biology, and further evaluated the relationship between the transcriptome and competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and DSBs. (3) Results: BLM increased γH2AX positivity in CCs, disrupted the G1/S phase, and decreased cell viability. Totals of 848 mRNAs, 75 long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), 68 circular RNAs (circRNAs), and 71 microRNAs (miRNAs) in 78 groups of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks, 275 groups of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks, and five groups of lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA co-expression regulatory networks were related to DSBs. Most differentially expressed ncRNAs were annotated to cell cycle, p53, PI3K-AKT, and WNT signaling pathways. (4) Conclusions: The ceRNA network helps to understand the effects of DNA DSBs activation and remission on the biological function of CCs.

Abstract
The progression of age triggers a vast number of diseases including cardiovascular, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. Regardless of our plentiful knowledge about age-related diseases, little is understood about molecular pathways that associate the ageing process with various diseases. Several cellular events like senescence, telomere dysfunction, alterations in protein processing, and regulation of gene expression are common between ageing and associated diseases. Accumulating information on the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) suggests targeting miRNAs can aid our understanding of the interplay between ageing and associated diseases. In the present chapter, we have attempted to explore the information available on the role of miRNAs in ageing of various tissues/organs and diseases and understand the molecular mechanism of ageing.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRs) are regulators of number of cellular process. miRs enclosed within exosomes can be crucial regulators of intercellular signalling and could be an important biomarker of various age-associated disorders. Role of exosomal enclosed miRs in osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts (SFBs) remains poorly studied. Here, we profiled and studied the effect of synovial fluid-derived exosomal miRs on inflammation, survival, proliferation of chondrocyte in correlation with cartilage degeneration. Exosomes were isolated from synovial fluid collected from OA subjects and were analysed by transmission electron microscopy. miRs were isolated and were submitted to microarray profiling. Web-based PCR analysis was done. Chondrocyte proliferation and colony formation assay were performed. Apoptosis study was done by flow cytometer. Gene expression was done by qRT-PCR analysis and protein expression by western blot assay. Rat model of OA was created by operating the knee by anterior cruciate ligament and resection of medial menisci (ACLT + MMx) method. Micro-CT analysis, histological analysis, immunohistochemical staining, and TUNEL assay were also performed. About 17 miRs were found to be expressed differentially in the synovial fluid collected from the control and OA subjects. Microarray analysis confirmed, expression of miR-214-3p was significantly downregulated in the synovial fluid exosome of OA subjects. miR-214-3p mimic promoted proliferation of chondrocyte and suppressed apoptosis. Treatment also inhibited the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. SFB-miR-214-3p exosomes suppressed apoptosis and also inflammation in chondrocytes. In vivo study suggested that SFB-exosomal miR-214-3p from rats suppressed the formation of osteophytes, prevented degeneration of cartilage and exerted anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effect in articular cartilage tissue. The findings suggested that SFB-miR-214-3p exosomes can ameliorate chondrocyte inflammation and degeneration of cartilage tissues. The study confirms therapeutic potential of SFB-miR-214-3p exosomes in treating OA.

Abstract
Autografting, a major treatment for bone fractures, has potential risks related to the required surgery and disease transmission. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the most common osteogenic factors used for bone-healing applications. However, BMP delivery can have shortcomings such as a short half-life and the high cost of manufacturing the recombinant proteins. Gene delivery methods have demonstrated promising alternative strategies for producing BMPs or other osteogenic factors using engineered cells. These approaches can also enable temporal overexpression and local production of the therapeutic genes in the target tissues. This review addresses recent progress on engineered viral, non-viral, and RNA-mediated gene delivery systems that are being used for bone repair and regeneration. Advances in clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/Cas9 genome engineering for bone tissue regeneration also is discussed.

Abstract
AbstractSclerostin negatively regulates bone formation by antagonizing Wnt signalling. An antibody targeting sclerostin for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with a boxed warning for cardiovascular risk. Here we demonstrate that sclerostin participates in protecting cardiovascular system and inhibiting bone formation via different loops. Loop3 deficiency by genetic truncation could maintain sclerostin’s protective effect on the cardiovascular system while attenuating its inhibitory effect on bone formation. We identify an aptamer, named aptscl56, which specifically targets sclerostin loop3 and use a modified aptscl56 version, called Apc001PE, as specific in vivo pharmacologic tool to validate the above effect of loop3. Apc001PE has no effect on aortic aneurysm and atherosclerotic development in ApoE−/− mice and hSOSTki.ApoE−/− mice with angiotensin II infusion. Apc001PE can promote bone formation in hSOSTki mice and ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic rats. In summary, sclerostin loop3 cannot participate in protecting the cardiovascular system, but participates in inhibiting bone formation.

Abstract
Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) is an endogenous tissue engineering technology in which bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) play a key role in MDO-related osteogenesis. Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) is involved in osteogenesis through activation of PERK (Protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase) in endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) condition under hypoxia. However, the specific role of ATF4 in MDO with BMSC remains unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of ATF4 in MDO with BMSC under hypoxia. Briefly, canine BMSCs were cultured in a hypoxic chamber, and effects of hypoxia were evaluated using cell migration assay and Alizarin Red S staining. Expression levels of protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α, ATF4, osteocalcin, and bone sialoprotein were evaluated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. BMSCs were transduced with the ATF4-small interfering RNA lentivirus. The effects were evaluated using all the aforementioned experiments. The results showed that hypoxia promoted migration, osteoblast differentiation, and ATF4 expression in BMSC. ATF4 knockdown in BMSC significantly inhibited migration and osteoblast differentiation abilities, while hypoxia reversed these effects to some extent. In addition, the molecular mechanism partly depended on the ERS signaling pathway, with ATF4 as the key factor. In summary, we presented a novel mechanism of ATF4-mediated regulation of BMSC under hypoxia.

Abstract
AbstractBone metabolic homeostasis is largely dependent on the dynamic balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in regulating bone metabolism. In this study, we explored the role of a new miRNA (miR-148a) in osteoporosis. We compared the bone phenotype between miR-148a knockout (KO) mice and the wild-type (WT) littermates. We found miR-148a KO mice exhibited an increased bone mass phenotype and decreased osteoclastogenesis compared to the WT group. In vitro, miR-148a overexpression promoted osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption function. Mechanistically, NRP1 was identified as a novel direct target of miR-148a, and NRP1 silencing reversed the effect of miR-148a knockout. In OVX and calvarial osteolysis models, miR-148a KO protects mice against excessive bone resorption, while miR-148a agomiR/AAV-shNRP1 accelerates pathologic bone loss. Finally, the miR-148a level was found to be positively correlated with β-CTX in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) serum specimens. In summary, our findings revealed that miR-148a genetic deletion ameliorates bone loss under physiological and pathological conditions by targeting NRP1. In osteoclast-related bone metabolic diseases such as PMOP, miR-148a may be an attractive therapeutic target in the future.

Abstract
Researchers have linked microgravity in space to the significant imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption that induces persistent bone loss in load-bearing bones. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear, which hinders the development of therapeutic measures. The aim of this study was to identify hub genes and explore novel molecular mechanisms underlying microgravity-induced bone loss using transcriptome datasets obtained from the GEO and SRA databases. In summary, comparative RNA expression pattern studies that differ in species (Homo or Mus), models (in vitro or in vivo), microgravity conditions (real microgravity or ground-based simulators) and microgravity duration showed that it is difficult to reach a consistent conclusion about the pathogenesis of microgravity-induced bone loss across these studies. Even so, we identified 11 hub genes and some miRNA-mRNA interactions mainly based on the GSE100930 dataset. Also, the expression of CCL2, ICAM1, IGF1, miR-101-3p and miR-451a markedly changed under clinorotation-microgravity condition. Remarkedly, ICAM1 and miR-451a were key mediators of the osteogenesis of hMSCs under clinorotation-microgravity condition. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of bone loss during microgravity and could indicate potential targets for further countermeasures against this condition.

Abstract
Exosomes are endosome-derived microvesicles that carry cell-specific biological cargo, such as proteins, lipids, and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). They play a key role in bone remodeling by enabling the maintenance of a balance between osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Recent evidence indicates that exosomes disrupt bone remodeling that occurs during breast cancer (BC) progression. The bone is a preferred site for BC metastasis owing to its abundant osseous reserves. In this review, we aimed to highlight the roles of exosomes derived from bone cells and breast tumor in bone remodeling and BC bone metastasis (BCBM). We also briefly outline the mechanisms of action of ncRNAs and proteins carried by exosomes secreted by bone and BCBM. Furthermore, this review highlights the potential of utilizing exosomes as biomarkers or delivery vehicles for the diagnosis and treatment of BCBM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fragility fracture commonly occurs in the elderly, the basis of fracture healing is osteoblast regeneration. The study measured the expression changes of microRNA-455-3p during fracture healing in patients with fragility fractures, and explored its influence on osteoblast differentiation. METHODS 108 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were recruited, in which 58 cases with fragility fracture. qRT-PCR was used for the measurement of miR-455-3p levels. MC3T3-E1 cells were induced differentiation by BMP-2. ELISA was performed for the measurement of alkaline phosphates (ALP), runt-related transcription factor-2 (RUNX2), osteocalcin (OCN), and Collagen I. Luciferase reporter gene assay was done for the target gene analysis. RESULTS Serum miR-455-3p was significantly decreased in both osteoporosis and fragility fracture patients compared with the control group, which was most deficient in patients with fragility fracture. With the extension of treatment time, the level of miR-455-3p in serum increased gradually and reached the highest level at 4 weeks of treatment. Levels of miR-455-3p continued to increase on the 7th and 14th days after induction of cell differentiation. MiR-455-3p overexpression promoted cell proliferation, and increased the levels of osteoblast differentiation markers, including ALP, OCN, Collagen I, and RUNX2. MiR-455-3p in MC3T3-E1 cells was directly bound to HDAC2 and negatively regulated. Both MC3T3-E1 differentiation and the fracture healing of patients were accompanied by progressively reduced HDAC2. CONCLUSIONS MiR-455-3p promotes osteogenic differentiation which may be associated with fracture healing, HDAC2 acts as a target of miR-455-3p in the underlying mechanism.

Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is an inflammatory disorder of the ocular surface seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. Topical dexamethasone (Dex) administration protects the cornea from the hyperosmotic stress (HS) induced by tears. Pyroptosis participates in the activation of epithelial inflammation during DED. However, it remains unclear whether Dex attenuates the progression of DED through pyroptosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of Dex on DED using both cell and animal models and its underlying mechanism. The inflammatory factors contained in tears were detected using a cytokine assay. The pyroptosis in DED mice and human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) treated with hyperosmotic medium under various treatments was evaluated by immunohistochemical assays (IHC) or western blotting (WB). RNA expression was manipulated with siRNA or agomir microRNAs and measured using a polymerase chain reaction. The scratch assay was used to assess the migration rate of HCECs. Remaining corneal defects were evaluated using fluorescein staining and photographed using a digital camera. Dex could suppress the release of inflammatory factors and notably attenuate pyroptosis, KCNQ1OT1 expression, and NF-κB activation induced by HS injury in vivo and in vitro. KCNQ1OT1 upregulation could activate pyroptosis by sponging miR-214. Furthermore, KCNQ1OT1 knockdown and miR-214 overexpression reversed the effect of HS, promoted the migration of HCECs, and accelerated corneal wound healing. Dex effectively suppressed HS-induced pyroptosis through the KCNQ1OT1/miR-214/caspase-1 signaling axis by inhibiting the NF-κB activation. Our results provide a novel understanding of the mechanism of Dex as an anti-inflammatory drug in DED.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has becoming globally public health threat. Recently studies were focus on SARS-CoV-2 RNA to design vaccine and drugs. It was demonstrated that virus RNA could play as sponge to host noncoding RNAs to regulate cellular processes. Bioinformatic research predicted a series of motif on SARS-CoV-2 genome where are targets of human miRNAs. In this study, we used dual-luciferase reporter assays to validate the interaction between 3’UTR of SARS-CoV-2 S (S-3’UTR) gene and bioinformatic predicted targeting miRNAs. The growth of 293T cells and HUVECs with overexpressed S-3’UTR was determined, while miRNAs and IL6, TNF-α levels were checked in this condition. Then, miR-296 and miR-602 mimic were introduced into 293T cells and HUVECs with overexpressed S-3’UTR, respectively, to reveal the underlying regulation mechanism. In results, we screened 19 miRNAs targeting the S-3’UTR, including miR-296 and miR-602. In 293T cell, S-3’UTR could inhibit 293T cell growth through down-regulation of miR-296. By reducing miR-602, S-3’UTR could induce HUVECs cell proliferation, alter the cell cycle, reduce apoptosis, and enhanced IL6 and TNF-αlevel. In conclusion, SARS-CoV-2 RNA could play as sponge of host miRNA to disturb cell growth and cytokine signaling. It suggests an important clue for designing COVID-19 drug and vaccine.

Abstract
Background In the bone marrow microenvironment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)-derived exosomal miRNAs play an important role in bone formation and bone resorption, although the pathogenesis has yet to be clarified. Methods BMSC-derived exosomes from ovariectomized rats (OVX-Exo) and sham-operated rats (Sham-Exo) were co-cultured with bone marrow-derived macrophages to study their effects on osteoclast differentiation. Next-generation sequencing was utilized to identify the differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) between OVX-Exo and Sham-Exo, while target genes were analyzed using bioinformatics. The regulatory effects of miR-27a-3p and miR-196b-5p on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and osteoclast differentiation were verified by gain-of-function and loss-of-function analyses. Results Osteoclast differentiation was significantly enhanced in the OVX-Exo treatment group compared to the Sham-Exo group. Twenty DE-miRNAs were identified between OVX-Exo and Sham-Exo, among which miR-27a-3p and miR-196b-5p promoted the expressions of osteogenic differentiation markers in BMSCs. In contrast, knockdown of miR-27a-3p and miR-196b-5p increased the expressions of osteoclastic markers in osteoclast. These 20 DE-miRNAs were found to target 11435 mRNAs. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses revealed that these target genes were involved in several biological processes and osteoporosis-related signaling pathways. Conclusion BMSC-derived exosomal miR-27a-3p and miR-196b-5p may play a positive regulatory role in bone remodeling.
