MiR-143-3p regulates chondrogenic differentiation of synovium derived mesenchymal stem cells under mechanical stress through the BMPR2-Smad signalling pathway by targeting BMPR2. J Oral Rehabil 2024; 51:1507-1520. [PMID: 38717032 DOI: 10.1111/joor.13726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from the synovium, known as synovium mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs), exhibit significant potential for articular cartilage regeneration owing to their capacity for chondrogenic differentiation. However, the microRNAs (miRNAs) governing this process and the associated mechanisms remain unclear. While mechanical stress positively influences chondrogenesis in MSCs, the miRNA-mediated response of SMSCs to mechanical stimuli is not well understood. OBJECTIVE This study explores the miRNA-driven mechano-transduction in SMSCs chondrogenesis under mechanical stress. METHODS The surface phenotype of SMSCs was analysed by flow cytometry. Chondrogenesis capacities of SMSCs were examined by Alcian blue staining. High throughput sequencing was used to screen mechano-sensitive miRNAs of SMSCs. The RNA expression level of COL2A1, ACAN, SOX9, BMPR2 and miR-143-3p of SMSCs were tested by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The interaction between miR-143-3p and TLR4 was confirmed by luciferase reporter assays. The protein expression levels of related genes were assessed by western blot. RESULTS High-throughput sequencing revealed a notable reduction in miR-143-3p levels in mechanically stressed SMSCs. Gain- or loss-of-function strategies introduced by lentivirus demonstrated that miR-143-3p overexpression hindered chondrogenic differentiation, whereas its knockdown promoted this process. Bioinformatics scrutiny and luciferase reporter assays pinpointed a potential binding site for miR-143-3p within the 3'-UTR of bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2). MiR-143-3p overexpression decreased BMPR2 expression and phosphorylated Smad1, 5 and 8 levels, while its inhibition activated BMPR2-Smad pathway. CONCLUSION This study elucidated that miR-143-3p negatively regulates SMSCs chondrogenic differentiation through the BMPR2-Smad pathway under mechanical tensile stress. The direct targeting of BMPR2 by miR-143-3p established a novel dimension to our understanding of mechano-transduction mechanism during SMSC chondrogenesis. This understanding is crucial for advancing strategies in articular cartilage regeneration.

[PMID: 38194746 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111511] [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: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/11/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease with unclear pathogenesis. Progress in its clinical diagnosis and treatment mainly depends on the elucidation of its pathogenesis and the exploration of new biomarkers. Exosomes contain various biomolecules, including long non-coding ribonucleic acids (lncRNAs). lncRNAs may participate in the regulation of autoimmune and inflammatory processes during RA pathogenesis by transmitting these biomolecules via exosomes among different cells. Therefore, the investigation of lncRNAs in RA exosomes may be a feasible pathway to elucidate RA pathogenesis, identify new diagnostic biomarkers, and identify potential therapeutic targets. METHODS In the first phase of exosomal non-coding RNAs screening, exosomes were isolated from the peripheral blood of six patients with RA and healthy controls (HC). High-throughput RNA sequencing was performed to obtain lncRNA expression profiles, and 15 lncRNAs with the highest differential expression were selected as candidate lncRNAs. In the second phase of validation using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), differential expression of the 15 candidate lncRNAs was verified in 42 patients with RA and their matched HC. Their potential value as RA diagnostic biomarkers was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Their relationships with common clinical indices of RA were explored using Spearman's rank correlation and linear regression analyses. RESULT Compared to HC, patients with RA had 206 upregulated and 2,332 downregulated lncRNAs. Fifteen candidate lncRNAs were validated by qRT-PCR, of which 12 (SNHG6, RPS18P9, RPL21P28, EBLN3P, FAM153CP, RPL23P8, SNHG31, NORAD, H3P6, DLEU2, TUG1, and OIP5-AS1) were upregulated, and three (CXXC4-AS1, OLMALINC, and NPHP3-AS1) were downregulated. In the ROC analysis of the 15 candidate lncRNAs, the area under the curve (AUC) ranged from 0.847 (0.767, 0.927) for OLMALINC to 0.994 (0.984, 1.000) for CXXC4-AS1. Spearman rank correlation analysis revealed erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and disease activity score of 28 (DAS28) were correlated with seven, six, and five lncRNAs, respectively. Further linear regression analysis revealed a negative relationship between exosomal SNHG6 and ESR (B = -0.384, P = 0.006), and a positive relationship between SNHG31 and ESR (B = 0.381, P = 0.007). Exosomal SNHG6 also showed a negative relationship with CRP (B = -0.361, P = 0.019). Moreover, exosomal RPS18P9 and SNGH31 had a negative effect and a positive effect on DAS28, respectively (B = -0.463, P < 0.001; B = 0.586, P < 0.001), implying novel exosomal lncRNAs were the independent influencing factors of the main RA-related clinical indices. CONCLUSIONS lncRNAs in RA plasma exosomes have characteristic expression profiles, including some lncRNAs with potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for RA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of disability, characterized by chronic pain, irreversible destruction, and loss of function of the articular cartilage. The integrity and arrangement of the composition and structure of the extracellular matrix (ECM) are essential for maintaining the elasticity, integrity, and mechanical support function of the cartilage tissue. Osteoarthritis causes substantial changes in the ECM, driving the progression of the disease. Recent studies have shown that the ECM plays a critical role in the development of cartilage tissue as well as the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis by directly or indirectly regulating chondrocyte proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and gene expression. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs derived from large transcripts. Mutations and disorders of lncRNAs are closely related to the development of osteoarthritis. Abnormal expression of lncRNAs in osteoarthritic cartilage regulates the synthesis and decomposition of the cartilaginous ECM. Therefore, the use of lncRNAs as nucleic acid drugs that regulate their targets may reduce ECM degradation, thereby delaying the pathological progression of osteoarthritis. In this review, the regulatory effects of lncRNAs on ECM in different cell behaviors related to OA are summarized. The roles of lncRNAs in the proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and ECM-related gene activity of chondrocytes, as well as the application of lncRNAs as potential gene therapy drugs for the repair and regeneration of osteoarthritic tissue, are also reviewed. A better understanding of the roles of lncRNAs in guiding chondrocyte behavior and ECM metabolism is critical for their future applications in osteoarthritis therapy and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis impairs the functions of various joints, such as knees, hips, hands and spine, which causes pain, swelling, stiffness and reduced mobility in joints. Multiple factors, including age, joint injuries, obesity, and mechanical stress, could contribute to osteoarthritis development and progression. Evidence has demonstrated that genetics and epigenetics play a critical role in osteoarthritis initiation and progression. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been revealed to participate in osteoarthritis development. In this review, we describe the pivotal functions and molecular mechanisms of numerous lncRNAs in osteoarthritis progression. We mention that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) could be biomarkers for osteoarthritis diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic targets. Moreover, we highlight the several compounds that alleviate osteoarthritis progression in part via targeting lncRNAs. Furthermore, we provide the future perspectives regarding the potential application of lncRNAs in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
MINCR (MYC-Induced Long Non-Coding RNA) is classified as an lncRNA. It has a significant correlation with MYC gene. MINCR has important roles in the carcinogenesis. It has been approved that this lncRNA can act as molecular sponge for miR-28-5p, miR-708-5p, miR-876-5p and miR-146a-5p. Dysregulated levels of MINCR has been observed in different types of cancer, especially hepatocellular carcinoma. In addition to malignant conditions, schizophrenia and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are associated with dysregulation of expression patterns of MINCR. This review outlines MINCR molecular mechanisms of action in different disorders.

Abstract
Medroxyprogesterone (MPA) has therapeutic effect on endometrial carcinoma (EC), while it could promote the carcinogenesis of breast cancer (BC) by activating receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL). However, the selective mechanism of MPA in endometrium and breast tissue remains obscure. Multiomics analysis of chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) were performed in cell lines derived from endometrial cancer and mammary tumor to screen the differential co-regulatory factors of progesterone receptor (PR). Dual-luciferase assays and ChIP-PCR assays were used to validate the transcriptional regulation. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and immunofluorescence assays were carried out to explore molecular interactions between PR, the cofactor transcriptional repressor GATA binding 1 (TRPS1), and histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2). Subsequently, human endometrial cancer/breast cancer xenograft models were established to investigate the regulation effect of cofactor TRPS1 in vivo. In the current study, we found that MPA downregulated RANKL expression in a time- and dose-dependent manner in EC, while had the opposite effect on BC. Then PR could recruit cofactor TRPS1 to the promoter of RANKL, leading to histone deacetylation of RANKL to repress its transcription in EC, whereas MPA disassociated the PR/TRPS1/HDAC2 complex to enhance RANKL histone acetylation in BC. Therefore, TRPS1, the coregulator recruited by PR played a critical role in the selective mechanism of progesterone in EC and BC and could become a potential candidate for targeted therapy to improve the anticancer effect of MPA on EC and avoid its carcinogenic effect on BC.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital roles in regulating epigenetic mechanisms and gene expression levels, and their dysregulation is closely associated with a variety of diseases such as cancer. Several studies have demonstrated that lncRNAs are dysregulated during tumor progression. Recently, the MYC-induced long non-coding RNA MINCR, a newly identified lncRNA, has been demonstrated to act as an oncogene in different cancers, including gallbladder cancer, hepatocellular cancer, colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma, nasopharyngeal cancer, and glioma. Moreover, MINCR has been reported to act as a biomarker in the prognosis of patients with different cancers. In this review, we summarize and analyze the oncogenic roles of MINCR in a variety of human cancers in terms of its clinical significance, biological functions, cellular activities, and regulatory mechanism. Our analysis of the literature suggests that MINCR has potential as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target in human cancers.
