J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:257. [PMID: 38649946 PMCID: PMC11036753 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04727-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanotransduction mechanisms by which cells regulate tissue remodeling are not fully deciphered. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are crucial to various physiological processes, including cell cycle, differentiation, and polarization. However, the effects of mechanical force on circRNAs and the role of circRNAs in the mechanobiology of differentiation and remodeling in stretched periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) remain unclear. This article aims to explore the osteogenic function of mechanically sensitive circular RNA protein kinase D3 (circPRKD3) and elucidate its underlying mechanotransduction mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS PDLSCs were elongated with 8% stretch at 0.5 Hz for 24 h using the Flexcell® FX-6000™ Tension System. CircPRKD3 was knockdown or overexpressed with lentiviral constructs or plasmids. The downstream molecules of circPRKD3 were predicted by bioinformatics analysis. The osteogenic effect of related molecules was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot. RESULTS Mechanical force enhanced the osteogenesis of PDLSCs and increased the expression of circPRKD3. Knockdown of circPRKD3 hindered PDLSCs from osteogenesis under mechanical force, while overexpression of circPRKD3 promoted the early osteogenesis process of PDLSCs. With bioinformatics analysis and multiple software predictions, we identified hsa-miR-6783-3p could act as the sponge of circPRKD3 to indirectly regulate osteogenic differentiation of mechanically stimulated PDLSCs. CONCLUSIONS Our results first suggested that both circPRKD3 and hsa-miR-6783-3p could enhance osteogenesis of stretched PDLSCs. Furthermore, hsa-miR-6783-3p could sponge circPRKD3 to indirectly regulate RUNX2 during the periodontal tissue remodeling process in orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is one of the female reproductive system tumors. Chemotherapy is used for advanced ovarian cancer patients; however, drug resistance is a pivotal cause of chemotherapeutic failure. Hence, it is critical to explore the molecular mechanisms of drug resistance of ovarian cancer cells and to ameliorate chemoresistance. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been identified to critically participate in drug sensitivity in a variety of human cancers, including ovarian cancer. Among ncRNAs, circRNAs sponge miRNAs and prevent miRNAs from regulation of their target mRNAs. CircRNAs can interact with DNA or proteins to modulate gene expression. In this review, we briefly describe the biological functions of circRNAs in the development and progression of ovarian cancer. Moreover, we discuss the underneath regulatory molecular mechanisms of circRNAs on governing drug resistance in ovarian cancer. Furthermore, we mention the novel strategies to overcome drug resistance via targeting circRNAs in ovarian cancer. Due to that circRNAs play a key role in modulation of drug resistance in ovarian cancer, targeting circRNAs could be a novel approach for attenuation of chemoresistance in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been characterized to play an essential role in ovarian tumorigenesis via controlling a variety of cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, invasion, apoptotic death, metastasis, cell cycle, migration, metabolism, immune evasion, and chemoresistance. The one obstacle for the therapeutic efficacy is due to the development of drug resistance in ovarian cancer patients. Therefore, in this review article, we describe the role of lncRNAs in chemoresistance in ovarian cancer. Moreover, we discuss the molecular mechanism of lncRNAs-involved drug resistance in ovarian cancer. We conclude that lncRNAs could be useful targets to overcome chemoresistance and improve therapeutic outcome in ovarian cancer patients.

Wnt antagonist as therapeutic targets in ovarian cancer. Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2022; 145:106191.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is a fatal malignancy in women with a low survival rate that demands new therapeutic paradigms. Cancer cells acquire various exclusive alterations to proliferate, invade, metastasize, and escape cell death, acting independently of growth-inducing or growth-inhibiting signals. The nature of cellular signaling in tumorigenesis is interwoven. Wnt signaling is an evolutionarily conserved signaling cascade that has been shown to regulate ovarian cancer pathogenesis. The molecular mechanism of Wnt signaling underlying the development of ovarian cancer, drug resistance, and relapse is not completely understood. Extracellularly secreted Wnt signaling inhibitors are crucial regulators of ovarian cancer tumorigenesis and malignant properties of cancer stem cells. Wnt inhibitors arbitrated modifications affecting Wnt pathway proteins on the cell membranes, in the cytoplasm, and in the nucleus have been shown to span essential contributions in the initiation, progression, and chemoresistance of ovarian cancer. Although many extrinsic inhibitors developed targeting the downstream components of the Wnt signaling pathway, investigating the molecular mechanisms of endogenous secreted inhibitors might substantiate prognostic or therapeutic biomarkers development. Given the importance of Wnt signaling in ovarian cancer, more systematic studies combined with clinical studies are requisite to probe the precise mechanistic interactions of Wnt antagonists in ovarian cancer. This review outlines the latest progress on the Wnt antagonists and ovarian cancer-specific regulators such as micro-RNAs, small molecules, and drugs regulating these Wnt antagonists in ovarian tumourigenesis.
