Abstract
Strategies incorporating mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), hydrogels and osteoinductive signals offer promise for bone repair. Osteoinductive signals such as growth factors face challenges in clinical translation due to their high cost, low stability and immunogenicity leading to interest in microRNAs as a simple, inexpensive and powerful alternative. The selection of appropriate miRNA candidates and their efficient delivery must be optimised to make this a reality. This study evaluated pro-osteogenic miRNAs and used porous silicon nanoparticles modified with polyamidoamine dendrimers (PAMAM-pSiNP) to deliver these to MSC encapsulated within gelatin-PEG hydrogels. miR-29b-3p, miR-101-3p and miR-125b-5p are strongly pro-osteogenic and are shown to target FASN and ELOVL4 in the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway to modulate MSC osteogenesis. Hydrogel delivery of miRNA:PAMAM-pSiNP complexes enhanced transfection compared to 2D. The osteogenic potential of hBMSC in hydrogels with miR125b:PAMAM-pSiNP complexes is evaluated. Importantly, a dual-effect on osteogenesis occurred, with miRNAs increasing expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) whilst the pSiNPs enhanced mineralisation, likely via degradation into silicic acid. Overall, this work presents insights into the role of miRNAs and fatty acid signalling in osteogenesis, providing future targets to improve bone formation and a promising system to enhance bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bone metabolic diseases have been tormented and are plaguing people worldwide due to the lack of effective and thorough medical interventions and the poor understanding of their pathogenesis. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are heterogeneous transcripts that cannot encode the proteins but can affect the expressions of other genes. Autophagy is a fundamental mechanism for keeping cell viability, recycling cellular contents through the lysosomal pathway, and maintaining the homeostasis of the intracellular environment. There is growing evidence that ncRNAs, autophagy, and crosstalk between ncRNAs and autophagy play complex roles in progression of metabolic bone disease. This review investigated the complex mechanisms by which ncRNAs, mainly micro RNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), regulate autophagic pathway to assist in treating bone metabolism disorders. It aimed at identifying the autophagy role in bone metabolism disorders and understanding the role, potential, and challenges of crosstalk between ncRNAs and autophagy for bone metabolism disorders treatment.

Abstract
Silicon nitride, an emerging bioceramic material, is highly sought after in the biomedical industry due to its osteogenesis-promoting properties, which are a result of its unique surface chemistry and excellent mechanical properties. Currently, it is used in clinics as an orthopedic implant material. The osteogenesis-promoting properties of silicon nitride are manifested in its contribution to the formation of a local osteogenic microenvironment, wherein silicon nitride and its hydrolysis products influence osteogenesis by modulating the biological behaviors of the constituents of the osteogenic microenvironment. In particular, silicon nitride regulates redox signaling, cellular autophagy, glycolysis, and bone mineralization in cells involved in bone formation via several mechanisms. Moreover, it may also promote osteogenesis by influencing immune regulation and angiogenesis. In addition, the wettability, surface morphology, and charge of silicon nitride play crucial roles in regulating its osteogenesis-promoting properties. However, as a bioceramic material, the molding process of silicon nitride needs to be optimized, and its osteogenic mechanism must be further investigated. Herein, we summarize the impact of the molding process of silicon nitride on its osteogenic properties and clinical applications. In addition, the mechanisms of silicon nitride in promoting osteogenesis are discussed, followed by a summary of the current gaps in silicon nitride mechanism research. This review, therefore, aims to provide novel ideas for the future development and applications of silicon nitride.

Abstract
Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy), a tightly regulated physiological process that obliterates dysfunctional and damaged organelles and proteins, has a crucial role when biomaterials are applied for various purposes, including diagnosis, treatment, tissue engineering, and targeted drug delivery. The unparalleled physiochemical properties of nanomaterials make them a key component of medical strategies in different areas, such as osteogenesis, angiogenesis, neurodegenerative disease treatment, and cancer therapy. The application of implants and their modulatory effects on autophagy have been known in recent years. However, more studies are necessary to clarify the interactions and all the involved mechanisms. The advantages and disadvantages of nanomaterial-mediated autophagy need serious attention in both the biological and bioengineering fields. In this mini-review, the role of autophagy after biomaterial exploitation and the possible related mechanisms are explored.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) has been the most common form of secondary osteoporosis. Glucocorticoids (GCs) can induce osteocyte and osteoblast apoptosis. Plenty of research has verified that silicon intake would positively affect bone. However, the effects of silicon on GIOP are not investigated. In this study, we assessed the impact of ortho-silicic acid (OSA) on Dex-induced apoptosis of osteocytes by cell apoptosis assays. The apoptosis-related genes, cleaved-caspase-3, Bcl-2, and Bax, were detected by western blotting. Then, we evaluated the possible role of OSA on osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis with Dex using Alizarin red staining and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. We also detected the related genes by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting. We then established the GIOP mouse model to evaluate the potential role of OSA in vivo. We found that OSA showed no cytotoxic on osteocytes below 50 μM and prevented MLO-Y4 from Dex-induced apoptosis. We also found that OSA promoted osteogenesis and inhibited osteoclastogenesis with Dex. OSA had a protective effect on GIOP mice via the Akt signal pathway in vivo. In the end, we verified the Akt/Bad signal pathway in vitro, which showed the same results. Our finding demonstrated that OSA could protect osteocytes from apoptosis induced by GCs both in vitro and in vivo. Also, it promoted osteogenesis and inhibited osteoclastogenesis with the exitance of Dex. In conclusion, OSA has the potential value as a therapeutic agent for GIOP.

Abstract
The lack of drugs that target both disease progression and tissue preservation makes it difficult to effectively manage rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we report a porous silicon-based nanomedicine that efficiently delivers an antirheumatic drug to inflamed synovium while degrading into bone-remodeling products. Methotrexate (MTX) is loaded into the porous silicon nanoparticles using a calcium silicate based condenser chemistry. The calcium silicate-porous silicon nanoparticle constructs (pCaSiNPs) degrade and release the drug preferentially in an inflammatory environment. The biodegradation products of the pCaSiNP drug carrier are orthosilicic acid and calcium ions, which exhibit immunomodulatory and antiresorptive effects. In a mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis, systemically administered MTX-loaded pCaSiNPs accumulate in the inflamed joints and ameliorate the progression of RA at both early and established stages of the disease. The disease state readouts show that the combination is more effective than the monotherapies.

Abstract
Numerous experiments in vitro and in vivo have shown that an appropriate increase intake of silicon can facilitate the synthesis of collagen and its stabilization and promote the differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts. In this study, we examined whether ortho-silicic acid restrains the differentiation of osteoclast through the receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)/receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) signaling pathway by investigating its effect in vitro and in vivo. Bone marrow macrophage (BMM) cells were isolated and cultured with or without ortho-silicic acid, and then TRAP staining and immunofluorescence were performed to detect the differentiation of osteoclast. The RANKL-induced osteoclast marker gene and protein expression including c-Fos, nuclear factor of activated T cells cl (NFATcl), tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), nuclear factor kappa B P50 (NF-κB P50), NF-κB P52, RANK, integrin β3, cathepsin K (CTSK), DC-STAMP, and TRAP were quantitatively detected by western blot and RT-PCR. Ovariectomized (OVX) rats were injected with ortho-silicic acid (OVX+Si group) and normal saline (OVX group), and sham-operated rats were injected with normal saline (Sham group). And micro-CT, H&E, and TRAP staining, ELISA, and western blot were performed. Ortho-silicic acid could inhibit the differentiation of osteoclast, and the marker genes and proteins were decreased. The OVX-induced bone loss could be reversed by ortho-silicic acid. Our finding demonstrated that ortho-silicic acid suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and has potential value as a therapeutic agent for OVX-induced bone loss.

Ortho-silicic acid enhances osteogenesis of osteoblasts through the upregulation of miR-130b which directly targets PTEN. Life Sci 2020; 264:118680.

Abstract
AIMS Osteoporosis is considered a common skeletal disease. Ortho-silicic acid has been found to enhance the osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts. However, the molecular mechanism of osteogenesis induced by ortho-silicic acid is still undefined totally. MicroRNAs (miRs) play a key role in osteogenesis of osteoblasts. This study investigated the role of miR-130b in promoting osteogenesis induced by ortho-silicic acid. MAIN METHODS AND KEY FINDINGS In this study, we found ortho-silicic acid enhanced osteogenesis of osteoblasts in vitro and promoted preventing and treating osteoporosis in vivo. Furthermore, the expression of miR-130b increased under application of ortho-silicic acid. In vitro, experiments demonstrated miR-130b overexpression or inhibition significantly promoted or suppressed osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts under application of ortho-silicic acid, respectively. Consistently, downregulation of miR-130b in ovariectomy (OVX) rats dropped off the beneficial effect of ortho-silicic acid against bone loss. Mechanistically, we identified phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on human chromosome 10 (PTEN) as the direct target of miR-130b during osteogenesis induced by ortho-silicic acid. SIGNIFICANCE In conclusion, our findings reveal that ortho-silicic acid promotes the osteogenesis of osteoblasts mediated by the miR-130b/PTEN signaling axis, which identifies a new target to prevent and treat osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent disorder characterized by the loss of bone mass and microarchitecture deterioration of bone tissue, attributed to various factors, including menopause (primary), aging (primary) and adverse effects of relevant medications (secondary). In recent decades, knowledge regarding the etiological mechanisms underpinning osteoporosis emphasizes that bone cellular homeostasis, including the maintenance of cell functions, differentiation, and the response to stress, is tightly regulated by autophagy, which is a cell survival mechanism for eliminating and recycling damaged proteins and organelles. With the important roles in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and organ function, autophagy has emerged as a potential target for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. In this review, we update and discuss the pathophysiology of autophagy in normal bone cell life cycle and metabolism. Then, the alternations of autophagy in primary and secondary osteoporosis, and the accompanied pathological process are discussed. Finally, we discuss current strategies, limitations, and challenges involved in targeting relevant pathways and propose strategies by which such hurdles may be circumvented in the future for their translation into clinical validations and applications for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone loss raises great concern in numerous situations, such as ageing and many diseases and in both orthopedic and dentistry fields of application, with an extensive impact on health care. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms and the determinants that can regulate osteogenesis and ensure bone balance. Autophagy is a well conserved lysosomal degradation pathway, which is known to be highly active during differentiation and development. This review provides a revision of the literature on all the exogen factors that can modulate osteogenesis through autophagy regulation. Metal ion exposition, mechanical stimuli, and biological factors, including hormones, nutrients, and metabolic conditions, were taken into consideration for their ability to tune osteogenic differentiation through autophagy. In addition, an exhaustive overview of biomaterials, both for orthopedic and dentistry applications, enhancing osteogenesis by modulation of the autophagic process is provided as well. Already investigated conditions regulating bone regeneration via autophagy need to be better understood for finely tailoring innovative therapeutic treatments and designing novel biomaterials.
