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.

Identifying Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 3 as a Mediator of Periosteal Osteochondral Differentiation through the Construction of microRNA-Based Interaction Networks. BIOLOGY 2023; 12:1381. [PMID: 37997980 PMCID: PMC10669632 DOI: 10.3390/biology12111381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
Human periosteum-derived progenitor cells (hPDCs) have the ability to differentiate towards both the chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages. This coordinated and complex osteochondrogenic differentiation process permits endochondral ossification and is essential in bone development and repair. We have previously shown that humanised cultures of hPDCs enhance their osteochondrogenic potentials in vitro and in vivo; however, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. This study aimed to identify novel regulators of hPDC osteochondrogenic differentiation through the construction of miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks derived from hPDCs cultured in human serum or foetal bovine serum as an alternative in silico strategy to serum characterisation. Sixteen differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMis) were identified in the humanised culture. In silico analysis of the DEMis with TargetScan allowed for the identification of 1503 potential miRNA target genes. Upon comparison with a paired RNAseq dataset, a 4.5% overlap was observed (122 genes). A protein-protein interaction network created with STRING interestingly identified FGFR3 as a key network node, which was further predicted using multiple pathway analyses. Functional analysis revealed that hPDCs with the activating mutation FGFR3N540K displayed increased expressions of chondrogenic gene markers when cultured under chondrogenic conditions in vitro and displayed enhanced endochondral bone formation in vivo. A further histological analysis uncovered known downstream mediators involved in FGFR3 signalling and endochondral ossification to be upregulated in hPDC FGFR3N540K-seeded implants. This combinational approach of miRNA-mRNA-protein network analysis with in vitro and in vivo characterisation has permitted the identification of FGFR3 as a novel mediator of hPDC biology. Furthermore, this miRNA-based workflow may also allow for the identification of drug targets, which may be of relevance in instances of delayed fracture repair.

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

MiR-145 inhibits the differentiation and proliferation of bone marrow stromal mesenchymal stem cells by GABARAPL1 in steroid-induced femoral head necrosis. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:1020.

Abstract
Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head (SANFH) involves impaired differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC), the mechanism of which is regulated by multiple microRNAs. Studies have shown that miR-145 is a key regulatory molecule of BMSC cells, but its mechanism in steroid-induced femur head necrosis remains unclear. The present study mainly explored the specific mechanism of miR-145 involved in SANFH. In this study dexamethasone, a typical glucocorticoid, was used to induce osteogenic differentiation of BMSC cells. Western blot, qPCR, CCK8 and flow cytometry were used to investigate the effects of miR-145 on the proliferation and differentiation of BMSC. The relationship between miR-145 and GABA Type A Receptor Associated Protein Like 1(GABARAPL1) was identified using dual luciferase reports and the effects of the two molecules on BMSC were investigated in vitro. The results showed that miR-145 was up-regulated in SANFH patients, while GABARAPL1 was down-regulated. Inhibition of miR-145 can improve apoptosis and promote proliferation and activation of BMSC. GABARAPL1 is a downstream target gene of miR-145 and is negatively regulated by miR-145. In conclusion, miR-145 regulates the proliferation and differentiation of glucocorticoid-induced BMSC cells through GABARAPL1 and pharmacologically inhibit targeting miR-145 may provide new aspect for the treatment of SANFH.

Abstract
Bone fragility is an adverse outcome of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The underlying molecular mechanisms have, however, remained largely unknown. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that control gene expression in health and disease states. The aim of this study was to investigate the genome-wide regulation of miRNAs in T2DM bone disease by analyzing serum and bone tissue samples from a well-established rat model of T2DM, the Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) model. We performed small RNA-sequencing analysis to detect dysregulated miRNAs in the serum and ulna bone of the ZDF model under placebo and also under anti-sclerostin, PTH, and insulin treatments. The dysregulated circulating miRNAs were investigated for their cell-type enrichment to identify putative donor cells and were used to construct gene target networks. Our results show that unique sets of miRNAs are dysregulated in the serum (n = 12, FDR < 0.2) and bone tissue (n = 34, FDR < 0.2) of ZDF rats. Insulin treatment was found to induce a strong dysregulation of circulating miRNAs which are mainly involved in metabolism, thereby restoring seven circulating miRNAs in the ZDF model to normal levels. The effects of anti-sclerostin treatment on serum miRNA levels were weaker, but affected miRNAs were shown to be enriched in bone tissue. PTH treatment did not produce any effect on circulating or bone miRNAs in the ZDF rats. Altogether, this study provides the first comprehensive insights into the dysregulation of bone and serum miRNAs in the context of T2DM and the effect of insulin, PTH, and anti-sclerostin treatments on circulating miRNAs.

Abstract
Autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are more easily available and frequently used for bone regeneration in clinics. Osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs involves complex regulatory networks affecting bone formation phenomena. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) refer to RNAs that do not encode proteins, mainly including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, piwi-interacting RNAs, transfer RNA-derived small RNAs, etc. Recent in vitro and in vivo studies had revealed the regulatory role of ncRNAs in osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. NcRNAs had both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. During the physiological condition, osteo-stimulatory ncRNAs are upregulated and osteo-inhibitory ncRNAs are downregulated. The opposite effects might occur during bone degenerative disease conditions. Intracellular ncRNAs and ncRNAs from neighboring cells delivered via exosomes participate in the regulatory process of osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the regulatory role of ncRNAs on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs during physiological and pathological conditions. We also discuss the prospects of the application of modulation of ncRNAs function in BMSCs to promote bone tissue regeneration in clinics.

Abstract
Scaffold materials used for bone defect repair are often limited by osteogenic efficacy. Moreover, microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in regulating the expression of osteogenic-related genes. In previous studies, we verified the enhancement of osteogenesis using a grooved porous hydroxyapatite scaffold (HAG). In the present study, we analyzed the contribution of HAG to the osteogenic differentiation of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) from the perspective of miRNA differential expression. Furthermore, results showed that miRNAs were differentially expressed in the osteogenic differentiation of hPMSCs cocultured with HAG. In detail, 16 miRNAs were significantly upregulated and 29 miRNAs were downregulated with HAG. In addition, bioinformatics analyses showed that the differentially expressed miRNAs were enriched in a variety of biological processes, including signal transduction, cell metabolism, cell junctions, cell development and differentiation, and that they were associated with osteogenic differentiation through axon guidance, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and the transforming growth factor beta signaling pathway. Furthermore, multiple potential target genes of these miRNAs were closely related to osteogenic differentiation. Importantly, overexpression of miR-146a-5p (an upregulated miRNA) promoted the osteogenic differentiation of hPMSCs, and miR-145-5p overexpression (a downregulated miRNA) inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of hPMSCs.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. The high mortality results from late diagnosis and the development of drug resistance. Drug resistance results from changes in the expression of different drug-resistance genes that may be regulated miRNA. The main aim of our study was to detect changes in miRNA expression levels in two cisplatin (CIS) and two paclitaxel (PAC)—resistant variants of the A2780 drug-sensitive ovarian cancer cell line—by miRNA microarray. The next goal was to identify miRNAs responsible for the regulation of drug-resistance genes. We observed changes in the expression of 46 miRNA that may be related to drug resistance. The overexpression of miR-125b-5p, miR-99a-5p, miR-296-3p, and miR-887-3p and downregulation of miR-218-5p, miR-221-3p, and miR-222-3p was observed in both CIS-resistant cell lines. In both PAC-resistant cell lines, we observed the upregulation of miR-221-3p, miR-222-3p, and miR-4485, and decreased expression of miR-551b-3p, miR-551b-5p, and miR-218-5p. Analysis of targets suggest that expression of important drug-resistant genes like protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type K (PTPRK), receptor tyrosine kinase—EPHA7, Semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A), or the ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 gene (ABCB1) can be regulated by miRNA.

Abstract
Non-coding RNAs have been found to regulate several developmental processes among them is osteogenesis. Although these transcripts have several distinct classes, two classes i.e. microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs have attained more attention. These transcripts regulate intramembranous as well as endochondral ossification processes. The effects of microRNAs on osteogenesis are mostly mediated through modulation of Wnt/β-catenin and TGFβ/BMP pathways. Long non-coding RNAs can directly affect expression of these pathways or osteogenic transcription factors. Moreover, they can serve as a molecular sponge for miRNAs. MALAT1/miR-30, MALAt1/miR-214, LEF1-AS1/miR-24-3p, MCF2L-AS1/miR-33a, MSC-AS1/miR-140-5p and KCNQ1OT1/miR-214 are examples of such kind of interaction between lncRNAs and miRNAs in the context of osteogenesis. In the current paper, we explain these two classes of non-coding RNAs in the osteogenesis and related disorders.

Abstract
This study aimed to discuss the expression of angiogenesis-related proteins in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) induced by osteoprotegerin (OGP) during osteogenic differentiation in rats, and to analyze the effect of fracture healing inflammatory factor TNF-ɑ on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs of rats. BMSCs isolated and cultured from the third generation rats were taken as the research object. According to the addition amount of OGP, BMSCs were divided into control group, OGP (10-7 mol/L) group, OGP (10-8 mol/L) group, and OGP (10-9 mol/L) group. The cell growth and morphological characteristics of each group were observed by inverted phase contrast microscope, the cell proliferation rate was measured by MTT method, angiogenesis-related markers (platelet growth factor (VEGF), cingulate protein 5 (Fbln5), and angiogenin-like protein 4 (Angptl4)) were quantitatively detected by Western blot, and the effect of TNF-ɑ on osteogenic differentiation was detected by CCK. Compared with the control group, MTT results showed that the value-added rate of cells in the OGP (10-8 mol/L) group reached the maximum at 9 days (P < 0.05). The ALP activity in osteoblasts in the OGP (10-8 mol/L) group reached the maximum at 9 days (P < 0.01). The OGP (10-8 mol/L) group had the highest expression of vascular regeneration proteins (VEGF, Fbln5, and Angptl4) (P < 0.05). CCK analysis showed that the TNF-ɑ (1.0 ng/mL) group showed a significant increase in absorbance compared with the control group on 6 days (P < 0.05), and the OD value of the TNF-ɑ (10 ng/mL) group decreased at all time points (P < 0.05). Overall, 10-8 mol/L OGP can induce the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, and promote the expression of angiogenesis-related proteins (VEGF, Fbln5, and Angptl4) during osteogenic differentiation. Besides, 1.0 ng/mL of TNF-ɑ can also promote osteogenesis differentiation of BMSCs in the short term.

Abstract
Available therapies aimed at treating age‐related osteoporosis are still insufficient. Therefore, designing reliable in vitro model for the analysis of molecular mechanisms underlying senile osteoporosis is highly required. We have isolated and characterized progenitor cells isolated from bone marrow (BMSCs) of osteoporotic mice strain SAM/P6 (BMSCSAM/P6). The cytophysiology of BMSCSAM/P6 was for the first time compared with BMSCs isolated from healthy BALB/c mice (BMSCBALB/c). Characterization of the cells included evaluation of their multipotency, morphology and determination of specific phenotype. Viability of BMSCs cultures was determined in reference to apoptosis profile, metabolic activity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial membrane potential and caspase activation. Additionally, expression of relevant biomarkers was determined with RT‐qPCR. Obtained results indicated that BMSCSAM/P6 and BMSCBALB/c show the typical phenotype of mesenchymal stromal cells (CD44+, CD73+, CD90+) and do not express CD45. Further, BMSCSAM/P6 were characterized by deteriorated multipotency, decreased metabolic activity and increased apoptosis occurrence, accompanied by elevated oxidative stress and mitochondria depolarisation. The transcriptome analyses showed that BMSCSAM/P6 are distinguished by lowered expression of molecules crucial for proper osteogenesis, including Coll‐1, Opg and Opn. However, the expression of Trap, DANCR1 and miR‐124‐3p was significantly up‐regulated. Obtained results show that BMSCSAM/P6 present features of progenitor cells with disturbed metabolism and could serve as appropriate model for in vitro investigation of age‐dependent osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic tissue constantly responding to environmental changes such as nutritional and mechanical stress. Bone homeostasis in adult life is maintained through bone remodeling, a controlled and balanced process between bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts. Osteoblasts secrete matrix, with some being buried within the newly formed bone, and differentiate to osteocytes. During embryogenesis, bones are formed through intramembraneous or endochondral ossification. The former involves a direct differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor to osteoblasts, and the latter is through a cartilage template that is subsequently converted to bone. Advances in lineage tracing, cell sorting, and single-cell transcriptome studies have enabled new discoveries of gene regulation, and new populations of skeletal stem cells in multiple niches, including the cartilage growth plate, chondro-osseous junction, bone, and bone marrow, in embryonic development and postnatal life. Osteoblast differentiation is regulated by a master transcription factor RUNX2 and other factors such as OSX/SP7 and ATF4. Developmental and environmental cues affect the transcriptional activities of osteoblasts from lineage commitment to differentiation at multiple levels, fine-tuned with the involvement of co-factors, microRNAs, epigenetics, systemic factors, circadian rhythm, and the microenvironments. In this review, we will discuss these topics in relation to transcriptional controls in osteogenesis.

Abstract
Objectives This work aimed to investigate the roles of long noncoding (lnc)RNA MACC1-AS1 (MACC1 antisense RNA 1) in progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Real-time quantitative PCR, western blot, spheroid formation, aldehyde dehydrogenase isoform 1 (ALDH1) activity analysis, luciferase reporter assay, and RNA pull-down analysis were used to examine MACC1-AS1–mediated effects on HCC cell stemness. Results MACC1-AS1 was highly expressed in HCC tissues and cells. MACC1-AS1 positively regulated the expression of stemness master regulators and inhibited spheroid-forming ability and ALDH1 activity. Furthermore, MACC1-AS1 promoted the stemness of HCC cells by antagonizing microRNA (miR)-145 activity. Overexpression of miR-145 also attenuated HCC cell stemness. Conclusions This work revealed a novel MACC1-AS1/miR-145 axis that regulates the stemness of HCC cells.

Shared Genetic and Epigenetic Mechanisms between the Osteogenic Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells and Bone Marrow Stem Cells. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:6697810.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the shared genetic and epigenetic mechanisms between the osteogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) and bone marrow stem cells (BMSC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The profiling datasets of miRNA expression in the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells from the dental pulp (DPSC) and bone marrow (BMSC) were searched in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differential expression analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) dysregulated in DPSC and BMSC osteodifferentiation. The target genes of the DEmiRNAs that were dysregulated in DPSC and BMSC osteodifferentiation were identified, followed by the identification of the signaling pathways and biological processes (BPs) of these target genes. Accordingly, the DEmiRNA-transcription factor (TFs) network and the DEmiRNAs-small molecular drug network involved in the DPSC and BMSC osteodifferentiation were constructed. RESULTS 16 dysregulated DEmiRNAs were found to be overlapped in the DPSC and BMSC osteodifferentiation, including 8 DEmiRNAs with a common expression pattern (8 upregulated DEmiRNAs (miR-101-3p, miR-143-3p, miR-145-3p/5p, miR-19a-3p, miR-34c-5p, miR-3607-3p, miR-378e, miR-671-3p, and miR-671-5p) and 1 downregulated DEmiRNA (miR-671-3p/5p)), as well as 8 DEmiRNAs with a different expression pattern (i.e., miR-1273g-3p, miR-146a-5p, miR-146b-5p, miR-337-3p, miR-382-3p, miR-4508, miR-4516, and miR-6087). Several signaling pathways (TNF, mTOR, Hippo, neutrophin, and pathways regulating pluripotency of stem cells), transcription factors (RUNX1, FOXA1, HIF1A, and MYC), and small molecule drugs (curcumin, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), vitamin D3, arsenic trioxide, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and naringin) were identified as common regulators of both the DPSC and BMSC osteodifferentiation. CONCLUSION Common genetic and epigenetic mechanisms are involved in the osteodifferentiation of DPSCs and BMSCs.

Extracellular vesicles from deciduous pulp stem cells recover bone loss by regulating telomerase activity in an osteoporosis mouse model. Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:296. [PMID: 32680564 PMCID: PMC7367365 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-01818-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2020] [Revised: 06/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/08/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic transplantation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) recovers bone loss in animal models of osteoporosis; however, the mechanisms underlying this remain unclear. Here, we hypothesized that trophic factors within SHED-releasing extracellular vesicles (SHED-EVs) rescue osteoporotic phenotype. METHODS EVs were isolated from culture supernatant of SHED. SHED-EVs were treated with or without ribonuclease and systemically administrated into ovariectomized mice, followed by the function of recipient bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) including telomerase activity, osteoblast differentiation, and sepmaphorine-3A (SEMA3A) secretion. Subsequently, human BMMSCs were stimulated by SHED-EVs with or without ribonuclease treatment, and then human BMMSCs were examined regarding the function of telomerase activity, osteoblast differentiation, and SEMA3A secretion. Furthermore, SHED-EV-treated human BMMSCs were subcutaneously transplanted into the dorsal skin of immunocompromised mice with hydroxyapatite tricalcium phosphate (HA/TCP) careers and analyzed the de novo bone-forming ability. RESULTS We revealed that systemic SHED-EV-infusion recovered bone volume in ovariectomized mice and improved the function of recipient BMMSCs by rescuing the mRNA levels of Tert and telomerase activity, osteoblast differentiation, and SEMA3A secretion. Ribonuclease treatment depleted RNAs, including microRNAs, within SHED-EVs, and these RNA-depleted SHED-EVs attenuated SHED-EV-rescued function of recipient BMMSCs in the ovariectomized mice. These findings were supported by in vitro assays using human BMMSCs incubated with SHED-EVs. CONCLUSION Collectively, our findings suggest that SHED-secreted RNAs, such as microRNAs, play a crucial role in treating postmenopausal osteoporosis by targeting the telomerase activity of recipient BMMSCs.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer rates the highest mortality among all gynecological malignancies. The main reason for high mortality is the development of drug resistance. It can be related to increased expression of drug transporters and increased expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Our foremost aim was to exhibit alterations in the miRNA expression levels in cisplatin (CIS), paclitaxel (PAC), doxorubicin (DOX), and topotecan (TOP)-resistant variants of the W1 sensitive ovarian cancer cell line-using miRNA microarray. The second goal was to identify miRNAs responsible for the regulation of drug-resistant genes. According to our observation, alterations in the expression of 40 miRNAs were present. We could observe that, in at least one drug-resistant cell line, the expression of 21 miRNAs was upregulated and that of 19 miRNAs was downregulated. We identified target genes for 22 miRNAs. Target analysis showed that miRNA regulates key genes responsible for drug resistance. Among others, we observed regulation of the ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 gene (ABCB1) in the paclitaxel-resistant cell line by miR-363 and regulation of the collagen type III alpha 1 chain gene (COL3A1) in the topotekan-resistant cell line by miR-29a.

Abstract
Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) lining the arthritic synovial joint region have been implicated to be a key player in bone remodeling. The uncontrolled proliferation of this cell subtype is strictly regulated by various molecular elements including microRNAs (miRNAs). The Wnt1/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the survival of FLS cells. This study explores the underlying mechanism of miR-145-5p towards the Wnt1/β-catenin pathway. MiR-145-5p depicted a strong binding affinity towards frizzled class receptor 4 (FZD4) 3' UTR, a key receptor complex essential for recognizing circulating Wnt1 molecules. Adjuvant induced arthritic fibroblast-like synoviocytes (AA-FLS) isolated from rats stimulated with Wnt1 (10 ng/ml) elicited active Wnt1/β-catenin signaling. Transfection of miR-145-5p mimic (50 pmol) to AA-FLS stimulated with Wnt1 elicited reduced expression levels of various factors of Wnt1/β-catenin signaling including low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5), dishevelled segment polarity protein 1 (Dvl1) and β-catenin transcription factor. Moreover, pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-23) were regulated compared to the diseased groups. Furthermore, miR-145-5p counterbalanced the levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) at the cellular level, essential for bone remodeling. Hence, we suggest that miR-145-5p regulates the survival/proliferation of FLS cells in RA disease condition through attenuation of Wnt1/β-catenin signaling.

Abstract
Significant progress in osteochondral tissue engineering has been made for biomaterials designed to deliver growth factors that promote tissue regeneration. However, due to diffusion characteristics of hydrogels, the accurate delivery of signaling molecules remains a challenge. In comparison to the direct delivery of growth factors, gene therapy can overcome these challenges by allowing the simultaneous delivery of growth factors and transcription factors, thereby enhancing the multifactorial processes of tissue formation. Scaffold-based gene therapy provides a promising approach for tissue engineering through transfecting cells to enhance the sustained expression of the protein of interest or through silencing target genes associated with bone and joint disease. Reports of the efficacy of gene therapy to regenerate bone/cartilage tissue regeneration are widespread, but reviews on osteochondral tissue engineering using scaffold-based gene therapy are sparse. Herein, we review the recent advances in gene therapy with a focus on tissue engineering scaffolds for osteochondral regeneration.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that are able to differentiate into numerous cell types, including well-known inherent osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes, and other cell types, such as hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes and nerve cells. They have become a favorite source of cell-based therapy. Therefore, knowing the mechanism that determines the cell fate of MSCs is important not only for deep understanding of the MSC function but also for the manipulation of MSCs for clinical application. Recently, studies have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), the two best studied noncoding RNAs, show key roles in cell fate determination of MSCs by functioning as vital regulators of their target gene expression or signaling transduction. Here, we summarize the characteristics of miRNAs and lncRNAs, and review the recent advances proving their profound involvement in determining the cell fate of MSCs to inherent osteoblast, adipocyte, and chondrocyte cells, and to several key cell types including hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes and nerve cells. This will provide researchers with a deep understanding of the role of miRNAs and lncRNAs in MSCs and provide guidance for future research.
