Abstract
The modification of proteins by small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) molecules, SUMOylation, is a key post-translational modification involved in a variety of biological processes, such as chromosome organization, DNA replication and repair, transcription, nuclear transport, and cell signaling transduction. In recent years, emerging evidence has shown that SUMOylation regulates the development and homeostasis of the skeletal system, with its dysregulation causing skeletal diseases, suggesting that SUMOylation pathways may serve as a promising therapeutic target. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which SUMOylation pathways regulate skeletal cells in physiological and disease contexts.

Abstract
The etiology of cleft lip with/without cleft palate (CL/P), one of the most frequent craniofacial birth defects worldwide, is complicated by contributions of both genetic and environmental factors. Understanding the etiology of these conditions is essential for developing preventive strategies. This study thus aims to identify regulatory networks of microRNAs (miRNAs), transcriptional factors (TFs) and non-TF genes associated with cleft lip (CL) that are conserved in humans and mice. Notably, we found that miR-27b, miR-133b, miR-205, miR-376b and miR-376c were involved in the regulation of CL-associated gene expression in both humans and mice. Among the candidate miRNAs, the overexpression of miR-27b, miR-133b and miR-205, but not miR-376b and miR-376c, significantly inhibited cell proliferation through suppression of CL-associated genes (miR-27b suppressed PAX9 and RARA; miR-133b suppressed FGFR1, PAX7, and SUMO1; and miR-205 suppressed PAX9 and RARA) in cultured human and mouse lip mesenchymal cells. Taken together, our results suggest that elevated expression of miR-27b, miR-133b and miR-205 may play a crucial role in CL through the suppression of genes associated with CL.

Abstract
Craniofacial development requires a complex series of coordinated and finely tuned events to take place, during a relatively short time frame. These events are set in motion by switching on and off transcriptional cascades that involve the use of numerous signalling pathways and a multitude of factors that act at the site of gene transcription. It is now well known that amidst the subtlety of this process lies the intricate world of protein modification, and the posttranslational addition of the small ubiquitin -like modifier, SUMO, is an example that has been implicated in this process. Many proteins that are required for formation of various structures in the embryonic head and face adapt specific functions with SUMO modification. Interestingly, the main clinical phenotype reported for a disruption of the SUMO1 locus is the common birth defect cleft lip and palate. In this chapter therefore, we discuss the role of SUMO1 in craniofacial development, with emphasis on orofacial clefts. We suggest that these defects can be a sensitive indication of down regulated SUMO modification at a critical stage during embryogenesis. As well as specific mutations affecting the ability of particular proteins to be sumoylated, non-genetic events may have the effect of down-regulating the SUMO pathway to give the same result. Enzymes regulating the SUMO pathway may become important therapeutic targets in the preventative and treatment therapies for craniofacial defects in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We conducted the present meta-analysis to investigate whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SUMO1 gene contribute to the risk of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without palate (NSCL/P). METHOD The Web of Science (1945-2013), the Cochrane Library Database (Issue 12, 2013), PubMed (1966-2013), EMBASE (1980-2013), CINAHL (1982-2013), and the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) (1982-2013) were searched without language restrictions. Meta-analysis was performed with the use of the STATA statistical software. RESULTS Six studies with a total of 1381 NSCL/P patients and 2054 control subjects were included. Twenty-seven functional polymorphisms in the SUMO1 gene were assessed. Our results indicated that SUMO1 genetic polymorphisms were correlated with an increased risk of NSCL/P. Subgroup analysis by the SNP type indicated that 4 functional polymorphisms (rs12470401 T>C, rs16838917 A>G, rs12470529 A>G, and rs7572505 A>G) in the SUMO1 gene might be strongly correlated with NSCL/P risk. Furthermore, ethnicity-stratified analysis demonstrated that SUMO1 genetic polymorphisms were closely related to an increased risk of NSCL/P among both Asians and Caucasians. CONCLUSION Our findings provide empirical evidence that SUMO1 genetic polymorphisms might be strongly involved in the etiology of NSCL/P, especially for rs12470401 T>C, rs16838917 A>G, rs12470529 A>G, and rs7572505 A>G polymorphisms.

Abstract
Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) are common birth defects with a complex etiology. Multiple interacting loci and possible environmental factors influence the risk of NSCL/P. 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 7 candidate genes were tested using an allele-specific primer extension for case-control and case-parent analyses in northeast China in 236 unrelated patients, 185 mothers and 154 fathers, including 128 complete trios, and 400 control individuals. TGFA and IRF6 genes showed a significant association with NSCL/P. In IRF6, statistical evidence of an association between rs2235371 (p = 0.003), rs2013162 (p<0.0001) and NSCL/P was observed in case-control analyses. Family based association tests (FBATs) showed over-transmission of the C allele at the rs2235371 polymorphism (p = 0.007). In TGFA, associations between rs3771494, rs3771523 (G3822A), rs11466285 (T3851C) and NSCL/P were observed in case-control and FBAT analyses. Associations between other genes (BCL3, TGFB3, MTHFR, PVRL1 and SUMO1) and NSCL/P were not detected.
