[PMID: 38685675 PMCID: PMC11058329 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.18287] [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: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Single immobilization theory cannot fully account for the extensive bone loss observed after spinal cord injury (SCI). Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are crucial in bone homeostasis because they possess self-renewal capabilities and various types of differentiation potential. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of long non-coding RNA H19 in osteoporosis after SCI and provide new research directions for existing prevention strategies. We used small interfering RNA to knockdown H19 expression and regulated miR-29b-2p expression using miR-29b-3p mimetics and inhibitors. Western blotting, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, Alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase staining and double-luciferase reporter gene assays were used to assess gene expression, osteogenic ability and binding sites. lncRNA H19 was upregulated in BMSCs from the osteoporosis group, whereas miR-29b-3p was downregulated. We identified the binding sites between miR-29b-3p and lncRNAs H19 and DKK1. H19 knockdown promoted BMSCs' osteogenic differentiation, whereas miR-29b-3p inhibition attenuated this effect. We discovered potential binding sites for miR-29b-3p in lncRNAs H19 and DKK1. Our findings suggest that long non-coding RNA H19 mediates BMSCs' osteogenic differentiation in osteoporosis after SCI through the miR-29b-3p/DKK1 axis and by directly inhibiting the β-catenin signalling pathway.

Abstract
The methylation of adenosine base at the nitrogen-6 position is referred to as "N6-methyladenosine (m6A)" and is one of the most prevalent epigenetic modifications in eukaryotic mRNA and noncoding RNA (ncRNA). Various m6A complex components known as "writers," "erasers," and "readers" are involved in the function of m6A. Numerous studies have demonstrated that m6A plays a crucial role in facilitating communication between different cell types, hence influencing the progression of diverse physiological and pathological phenomena. In recent years, a multitude of functions and molecular pathways linked to m6A have been identified in the osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Nevertheless, a comprehensive summary of these findings has yet to be provided. In this review, we primarily examined the m6A alteration of transcripts associated with transcription factors (TFs), as well as other crucial genes and pathways that are involved in the differentiation of BMSCs. Meanwhile, the mutual interactive network between m6A modification, miRNAs, and lncRNAs was intensively elucidated. In the last section, given the beneficial effect of m6A modification in osteogenesis and chondrogenesis of BMSCs, we expounded upon the potential utility of m6A-related therapeutic interventions in the identification and management of human musculoskeletal disorders manifesting bone and cartilage destruction, such as osteoporosis, osteomyelitis, osteoarthritis, and bone defect.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis, a debilitating bone infection, presents considerable clinical challenges due to its intricate etiology and limited treatment options. Despite strides in surgical and chemotherapeutic interventions, the treatment landscape for osteomyelitis remains unsatisfactory. Recent attention has focused on the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the pathogenesis and progression of osteomyelitis. This review consolidates current knowledge on the involvement of distinct classes of ncRNAs, including microRNAs, long ncRNAs, and circular RNAs, in the context of osteomyelitis. Emerging evidence from various studies underscores the potential of ncRNAs in orchestrating gene expression and influencing the differentiation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, pivotal processes in bone formation. The review initiates by elucidating the regulatory functions of ncRNAs in fundamental cellular processes such as inflammation, immune response, and bone remodeling, pivotal in osteomyelitis pathology. It delves into the intricate network of interactions between ncRNAs and their target genes, illuminating how dysregulation contributes to the establishment and persistence of osteomyelitic infections. Understanding their regulatory roles may pave the way for targeted diagnostic tools and innovative therapeutic interventions, promising a paradigm shift in the clinical approach to this challenging condition. Additionally, we delve into the promising therapeutic applications of these molecules, envisioning novel diagnostic and treatment approaches to enhance the management of this challenging bone infection.

Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:302. [PMID: 38254792 PMCID: PMC10813535 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16020302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of bone invasion in aggressive pituitary adenoma (PA) was found in our previous study, suggesting that PA cells may be involved in the process of osteoclastogenesis. miR-19a (as a key member of the miR-17-92 cluster) has been reported to activate the nuclear factor-кB (NF-кB) pathway and promote inflammation, which could be involved in the process of the bone invasion of pituitary adenoma. METHODS In this work, FISH was applied to detect miR-19a distribution in tissues from patients with PA. A model of bone invasion in PA was established, GH3 cells were transfected with miR-19a mimic, and the grade of osteoclastosis was detected by HE staining. qPCR was performed to determine the expression of miR-19a throughout the course of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. After transfected with a miR-19a mimic, BMMs were treated with RANKL for the indicated time, and the osteoclast marker genes were detected by qPCR and Western Blot. Pit formation and F-actin ring assay were used to evaluate the function of osteoclast. The TargetScan database and GSEA were used to find the potential downstream of miR-19a, which was verified by Co-IP, Western Blot, and EMSA. RESULTS Here, we found that miR-19a expression levels were significantly correlated with the bone invasion of PA, both in clinical samples and animal models. The osteoclast formation prior to bone resorption was dramatically enhanced by miR-19, which was mediated by decreased cylindromatosis (CYLD) expression, increasing the K63 ubiquitination of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6). Consequently, miR-19a promotes osteoclastogenesis by the activation of the downstream NF-кB and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. CONCLUSIONS To summarize, the results of this study indicate that PA-derived miR-19a promotes osteoclastogenesis by inhibiting CYLD expression and enhancing the activation of the NF-кB and MAPK pathways.

Abstract
PURPOSE SYVN1 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident E3 ubiquitin ligase that has an essential function along with SEL1L in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the expression of peripheral blood ncRNAs and SYVN1-SEL1L affected by DMARDs treatment. METHODS Twenty-five newly diagnosed RA patients were randomly assigned to receive conventional DMARDs (csDMARDs) and methylprednisolone for six months. The peripheral blood gene expression of SYVN1 and SEL1L and possible regulatory axes, NEAT1, miR-125a-5p, and miR-19b-3p, were evaluated before and after qRT-PCR. We also compared differences between the patients and healthy controls (HCs), and statistical analyses were performed to determine the correlation between ncRNAs with SYVN1-SEL1L and the clinical parameters of RA. RESULTS Expression of NEAT1 (P = 0.0001), miR-19b-3p (P = 0.007), miR-125a-5p (P = 0.005), and SYVN1 (P = 0.036) was significantly increased in newly diagnosed patients compared to HCs; also, miR-125a-5p, miR-19b-3p, and SYVN1 were significantly overexpressed after treatment (P = 0.001, P = 0.001, and P = 0.005, respectively). NEAT1 was positively correlated with SYVN1, and miR-125a-5p had a negative correlation with anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides. The ROC curve analysis showed the potential role of selected ncRNAs in RA pathogenesis. CONCLUSION The results indicate the ineffectiveness of the csDMARDs in reducing SYVN1 expression. The difference in expression of ncRNAs might be useful markers for monitoring disease activity and determining therapeutic responses in RA patients. Key Points • The expression of NEAT1 is significantly upregulated in RA patients compared to HC subjects. • miR-19b-3p, miR-125a-5p, and SYVN1 are significantly upregulated in RA patients compared to HC subjects. • The expression of miR-19b-3p and miR-125a-5p is significantly increased in RA patients after treatment with DMARDs and methylprednisolone. • NEAT1 is positively correlated with SYVN1.

J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:459. [PMID: 38037135 PMCID: PMC10691144 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-02201-w] [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: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which biomimetic composite hydrogels loaded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) derived microRNA-19b-3p/WWP1 axis through extracellular vesicles (EVs) affect the new bone formation in rat bone defects. METHODS First, synthesize the bionic composite hydrogel Gel-OCS/MBGN. Characterize it through field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and FTIR. Then, conduct performance tests such as rheology, dynamic mechanical analysis, in vitro mineralization, and degradation. Rat BMSCs were selected for in vitro cell experiments, and EVs derived from BMSCs were obtained by differential centrifugation. The EVs were loaded onto Gel-OCS/MBGN to obtain Gel-OCS/MBGN@EVs hydrogel. Cell viability and proliferation were detected by live/dead cell staining and CCK-8 assay, respectively. ALP and ARS staining was used to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Differential gene expression analysis of osteogenic differentiation was performed using high-throughput sequencing. TargetScan database predicted the binding site between miR-19b-3p and WWP1, and a dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the targeting binding site. A rat bone defect model was established, and new bone formation was evaluated by Micro-CT, H&E staining, and Masson's trichrome staining. Immunofluorescence staining and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression levels of osteogenic-related factors in rat BMSCs. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of genes and proteins in tissues and cells. RESULT Gel-OCS/MBGN was successfully constructed and loaded with EVs, resulting in Gel-OCS/MBGN@EVs. The in vitro drug release experiment results show that Gel-OCS/MBGN could sustainably release EVs. Further experiments have shown that Gel-OCS/MBGN@EVs could significantly promote the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts. Experiments have shown that WWP1 is a key factor in osteogenic differentiation and is regulated by miR-19b-3p. EVs promote osteogenic differentiation by suppressing WWP1 expression through the transmission of miR-19b-3p. In vivo animal experiments have demonstrated that Gel-OCS/MBGN@EVs significantly promote bone repair in rats with bone defects by regulating the miR-19b-3p/WWP1 signaling axis. CONCLUSION Functional Gel-OCS/MBGN@EVs were obtained by constructing Gel-OCS/MBGN and loading EVs onto it. EVs could deliver miR-19b-3p to BMSCs, inhibit the expression of WWP1, and promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, ultimately promoting bone regeneration in rats with bone defects.

Abstract
Osteoblasts, cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the bone marrow, are cells responsible for bone formation and remodeling. The differentiation of osteoblasts from MSCs is triggered by the expression of specific genes, which are subsequently controlled by pro-osteogenic pathways. Mature osteoblasts then differentiate into osteocytes and are embedded in the bone matrix. Dysregulation of osteoblast function can cause inadequate bone formation, which leads to the development of bone disease. Various key molecules are involved in the regulation of osteoblastogenesis, which are transcription factors. Previous studies have heavily examined the role of factors that control gene expression during osteoblastogenesis, both in vitro and in vivo. However, the systematic relationship of these transcription factors remains unknown. The involvement of ncRNAs in this mechanism, particularly miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, has been shown to influence transcriptional factor activity in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Here, we discuss nine essential transcription factors involved in osteoblast differentiation, including Runx2, Osx, Dlx5, β-catenin, ATF4, Ihh, Satb2, and Shn3. In addition, we summarize the role of ncRNAs and their relationship to these essential transcription factors in order to improve our understanding of the transcriptional regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Adequate exploration and understanding of the molecular mechanisms of osteoblastogenesis can be a critical strategy in the development of therapies for bone-related diseases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
As epigenetic regulators of gene expression, circulating micro-RiboNucleic Acids (miRNAs) have been described in several bone diseases as potential prognostic markers. The aim of our study was to identify circulating miRNAs potentially associated with the severity of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in three steps. We have screened by RNA sequencing for the miRNAs that were differentially expressed in sera of a small group of OI patients versus controls and then conducted a validation phase by RT-qPCR analysis of sera of a larger patient population. In the first phase of miROI, we found 79 miRNAs that were significantly differentially expressed. We therefore selected 19 of them as the most relevant. In the second phase, we were able to validate the significant overexpression of 8 miRNAs in the larger OI group. Finally, we looked for a relationship between the level of variation of the validated miRNAs and the clinical characteristics of OI. We found a significant difference in the expression of two microRNAs in those patients with dentinogenesis imperfecta. After reviewing the literature, we found 6 of the 8 miRNAs already known to have a direct action on bone homeostasis. Furthermore, the use of a miRNA-gene interaction prediction model revealed a 100% probability of interaction between 2 of the 8 confirmed miRNAs and COL1A1 and/or COL1A2. This is the first study to establish the miRNA signature in OI, showing a significant modification of miRNA expression potentially involved in the regulation of genes involved in the physiopathology of OI. © 2023 The Authors.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:726. [PMID: 37752532 PMCID: PMC10523602 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04203-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have illuminated that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) influences bone cell differentiation and formation. Nevertheless, whether lncRNA Homeobox D gene cluster antisense growth-associated long noncoding RNA (HAGLR) was implicated in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) was yet uncertain. PURPOSE The research was to explore HAGLR's role in the osteogenic differentiation (OD) process of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). METHODS BMSCs were isolated from mouse bone marrow tissues and identified by electron microscope and flow cytometry. HAGLR, microRNA (miR)-182-5p, and homeobox protein A10 (Hoxa10) levels in BMSCs were detected. Mouse BMSC OD process was induced, and calcium deposition and alkaline phosphatase content were analyzed, as well as expressions of runt-related transcription factor 2, osteopontin, and osteocalcin, and cell apoptosis. Bilateral ovaries were resected from mice to construct the ovariectomized model and bone mineral density, maximum bending stress, maximum load, and elastic modulus of the femur were tested, and the femur was histopathologically evaluated. Chondrocyte apoptosis in the articular cartilage of mice was analyzed. Analysis of the interaction of HAGLR, miR-182-5p with Hoxa10 was conducted. RESULTS HAGLR and Hoxa10 were down-regulated and miR-182-5p was elevated in PMOP patients. During the BMSC OD process, HAGLR and Hoxa10 levels were suppressed, while miR-182-5p was elevated. Promotion of HAGLR or suppression of miR-182-5p accelerated OD of BMSCs. Inhibition of miR-182-5p reversed the inhibitory effect of HAGLR on BMSC OD. In in vivo experiments, up-regulating HAGLR alleviated PMOP, while silencing Hoxa10 reversed the effects of upregulating HAGLR. HAGLR performed as a sponge for miR-182-5p, while miR-182-5p targeted Hoxa10. CONCLUSION In general, HAGLR boosted the OD process of BMSCs and relieved PMOP via the miR-182-5p/Hoxa10 axis. These data preliminarily reveal the key role of HAGLR in PMOP, and the research results have a certain reference for the treatment of PMOP.

Abstract
A significant clinical association between osteoporosis (OP) and fibromyalgia (FM) has been shown in the literature. Given the need for specific biomarkers to improve OP and FM management, common miRNAs might provide promising tracks for future prevention and treatment. The aim of this review is to identify miRNAs described in OP and FM, and dysregulated in the same direction in both pathologies. The PubMed database was searched until June 2023, with a clear mention of OP, FM, and miRNA expression. Clinical trials, case-control, and cross-sectional studies were included. Gray literature was not searched. Out of the 184 miRNAs found in our research, 23 are shared by OP and FM: 7 common miRNAs are dysregulated in the same direction for both pathologies (3 up-, 4 downregulated). The majority of these common miRNAs are involved in the Wnt pathway and the cholinergic system and a possible link has been highlighted. Further studies are needed to explore this relationship. Moreover, the harmonization of technical methods is necessary to confirm miRNAs shared between OP and FM.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by a decrease in osteoblasts and an increase in adipocytes in the bone marrow compartment, alongside abnormal bone/fat differentiation, which ultimately results in imbalanced bone homeostasis. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes to maintain bone homeostasis. Several studies have shown that lncRNAs are competitive endogenous RNAs that form a lncRNA-miRNA network by targeting miRNA for the regulation of bone/fat differentiation in BMSCs; this mechanism is closely related to the corresponding treatment of OP and is important in the development of novel OP-targeted therapies. However, by reviewing the current literature, it became clear that there are limited summaries discussing the effects of the lncRNA-miRNA network on osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation in BMSCs. Therefore, this article provides a review of the current literature to explore the impact of the lncRNA-miRNA network on the osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs, with the aim of providing a new theoretical basis for the treatment of OP.

MicroRNA-19b-3p dysfunction of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes from patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm impairs therapeutic efficacy. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:135. [PMID: 37101174 PMCID: PMC10131394 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-01894-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Senescence of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributes to the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Although mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (MSC-EXO) have been confirmed to restrict the development of AAA, their biological activity depends largely on the physiological state of the MSCs. This study aimed to compare the effects of adipose-derived MSC-EXO from healthy donors (HMEXO) and AAA patients (AMEXO) on senescence of VSMCs in AAA and explore the underlying mechanisms. An ApoE-/- mouse model of AAA was used to investigate the therapeutic effects of HMEXO, AMEXO or miR-19b-3p-AMEXO on AAA development. This in vitro model of AAA was established by treating VSMCs with Ang II (Angiotensin II). The senescence of VSMCs was determined by senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining. The morphology of mitochondria in VSMCs was examined by MitoTracker staining. HMEXO exhibited superior capacity compared with AMEXO to inhibit VSMC senescence and attenuate AAA formation in Ang II-treated ApoE-/- mice. In vitro, both AMEXO and HMEXO inhibited Ang II-induced VSMC senescence via downregulation of mitochondrial fission. Notably, compared with HMEXO, the ability of AMEXO to inhibit VSMC senescence was significantly decreased. miRNA sequencing and the expression of miR-19b-3p was significantly decreased in AMEXO compared with HMEXO. Luciferase assay suggested that MST4 (Mammalian sterile-20-like kinase 4) is a potential target of miR-19b-3p. Mechanistically, miR-19b-3p in HMEXO ameliorated VSMC senescence by inhibiting mitochondrial fission via regulation of the MST4/ERK/Drp1 signaling pathway. Overexpression of miR-19b-3p in AMEXO improved their beneficial effect on AAA formation. Our study reveals that MSC-exosomal miR-19b-3p exerts protective effects against Ang II-induced AAA and VSMC senescence via regulation of the MST4/ERK/Drp1 pathway. The pathological state of AAA patients alters the miRNA components of AMEXO and impairs their therapeutic benefits.

[PMID: 37189829 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11041211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Acromegaly is a rare endocrine disorder caused by somatotroph pituitary adenoma. Besides its typical symptoms, it contributes to the development of cardiovascular, metabolic, and bone comorbidities. H19 RNA is a long non-coding RNA and it is suspected to be involved in tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and metastasis. H19 RNA is a novel biomarker for the diagnosis and monitoring of neoplasms. Moreover, there might be an association between H19 and cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. We enrolled 32 acromegaly patients and 25 controls. We investigated whether whole blood H19 RNA expression is associated with the diagnosis of acromegaly. Correlations between H19 and tumour dimension, invasiveness, and biochemical and hormonal parameters were evaluated. We analysed the coincidence of acromegaly comorbidities with H19 RNA expression. In the results, we did not observe a statistically significant difference in H19 RNA expression between acromegaly patients and the controls. There were no correlations between H19 and the adenoma size and infiltration and patients' biochemical and hormonal statuses. In the acromegaly group, hypertension, goitre, and cholelithiasis were observed more frequently. The diagnosis of acromegaly was a factor contributing to the occurrence of dyslipidaemia, goitre, and cholelithiasis. We found an association between H19 and cholelithiasis in acromegaly patients. To conclude, H19 RNA expression is not a relevant marker for diagnosis and monitoring of acromegaly patients. There is a higher risk of hypertension, goitre, and cholelithiasis related to acromegaly. Cholelithiasis is associated with a higher H19 RNA expression.

Long non-coding RNA H19 regulates matrisome signature and impacts cell behavior on MSC-engineered extracellular matrices. Stem Cell Res Ther 2023; 14:37. [PMID: 36882843 PMCID: PMC9993741 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-023-03250-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/25/2022] [Indexed: 03/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The vast and promising class of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been under investigation for distinct therapeutic applications. Nevertheless, their role as molecular drivers of bone regeneration remains poorly studied. The lncRNA H19 mediates osteogenic differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) through the control of intracellular pathways. However, the effect of H19 on the extracellular matrix (ECM) components is still largely unknown. This research study was designed to decode the H19-mediated ECM regulatory network, and to reveal how the decellularized siH19-engineered matrices influence MSC proliferation and fate. This is particularly relevant for diseases in which the ECM regulation and remodeling processes are disrupted, such as osteoporosis. METHODS Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics analysis was used to identify ECM components, after oligonucleotides delivery to osteoporosis-derived hMSCs. Moreover, qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence and proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis assays were performed. Engineered matrices were decellularized, characterized by atomic force microscopy and repopulated with hMSC and pre-adipocytes. Clinical bone samples were characterized by histomorphometry analysis. RESULTS Our study provides an in-depth proteome-wide and matrisome-specific analysis of the ECM proteins controlled by the lncRNA H19. Using bone marrow-isolated MSC from patients with osteoporosis, we identified fibrillin-1 (FBN1), vitronectin (VTN) and collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1), among others, as having different pattern levels following H19 silencing. Decellularized siH19-engineered matrices are less dense and have a decreased collagen content compared with control matrices. Repopulation with naïve MSCs promotes a shift towards the adipogenic lineage in detriment of the osteogenic lineage and inhibits proliferation. In pre-adipocytes, these siH19-matrices enhance lipid droplets formation. Mechanistically, H19 is targeted by miR-29c, whose expression is decreased in osteoporotic bone clinical samples. Accordingly, miR-29c impacts MSC proliferation and collagen production, but does not influence ALP staining or mineralization, revealing that H19 silencing and miR-29c mimics have complementary but not overlapping functions. CONCLUSION Our data suggest H19 as a therapeutic target to engineer the bone ECM and to control cell behavior.

Abstract
The β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) was previously characterized as a mild antioxidant modulating cell viability. However, its biological action regarding endometrial stromal cell cytophysiology and function has never been considered. In this study, we investigated the influence of β-LG on the cellular status of equine endometrial progenitor cells under oxidative stress. The study showed that β-LG decreased the intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species, simultaneously ameliorating cell viability and exerting an anti-apoptotic effect. However, at the transcriptional level, the reduced mRNA expression of pro-apoptotic factors (i.e. BAX and BAD) was accompanied by decreased expression of mRNA for anti-apoptotic BCL-2 and genes coding antioxidant enzymes (CAT, SOD-1, GPx). Still, we have also noted the positive effect of β-LG on the expression profile of transcripts involved in endometrial viability and receptivity, including ITGB1, ENPP3, TUNAR and miR-19b-3p. Finally, the expression of master factors of endometrial decidualization, namely prolactin and IGFBP1, was increased in response to β-LG, while non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), that is lncRNA MALAT1 and miR-200b-3p, were upregulated. Our findings indicate a novel potential role of β-LG as a molecule regulating endometrial tissue functionality, promoting viability and normalizing the oxidative status of endometrial progenitor cells. The possible mechanism of β-LG action includes the activation of ncRNAs essential for tissue regeneration, such as lncRNA MALAT-1/TUNAR and miR-19b-3p/miR-200b-3p.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A healthy pregnancy requires successful blastocyst implantation into an adequately prepared or 'receptive' endometrium. Decidualization of uterine endometrial stromal fibroblast cells (hESF) is critical for the establishment of a healthy pregnancy. microRNAs (miRs) are critical regulators of cellular function that can be released by a donor cell to influence the physiological state of recipient cells. We aimed to determine how decidualization affects hESF miR release and investigated the function of one decidualization regulated miR, miR-19b-3p, previously shown to be associated with recurrent pregnancy loss. METHOD miR release by hESF was determined by miR microarray on culture media from hESF decidualized in vitro for 3 and 14 days by treatment with oestradiol and medroxyprogesterone acetate. Cellular and whole endometrial/decidual tissue miR expression was quantified by qPCR and localized by in situ hybridization. The function of miR-19b-3p in HTR8/Svneo trophoblast cells was investigated using real time cell analysis (xCELLigence) and gene expression qPCR. RESULTS From our miR screen we found that essentially all hESF miR release was reduced following in vitro decidualization, significantly so for miR-17-5p, miR-21-3p, miR-34c-3p, miR-106b-5p, miR-138-5p, miR-296-5p, miR-323a-3p, miR-342-3p, miR-491-5p, miR-503-5p and miR-542-5p. qPCR demonstrated that miR-19b-3p, 181a-2-3p and miR-409-5p likewise showed a significant reduction in culture media following decidualization but no change was found in cellular miR expression following decidualization. In situ hybridization localized miR-19b-3p to epithelial and stromal cells in the endometrium and qPCR identified that miR-19b-3p was significantly elevated in the cycling endometrium of patients with a history of early pregnancy loss compared to normally fertile controls. Functionally, overexpression of miR-19b-3p significantly reduced HTR8/Svneo trophoblast proliferation and increased HOXA9 expression. DISCUSSION Our data demonstrates that decidualization represses miR release by hESFs and overexpression of miR-19b-3p was found in endometrial tissue from patients with a history of early pregnancy loss. miR-19b-3p impaired HTR8/Svneo proliferation implying a role in trophoblast function. Overall we speculate that miR release by hESF may regulate other cell types within the decidua and that appropriate release of miRs by decidualized hESF is essential for healthy implantation and placentation.

[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.

Identification of circulating miRNAs differentially expressed in patients with Limb-girdle, Duchenne or facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophies. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2022; 17:450. [PMID: 36575500 PMCID: PMC9793535 DOI: 10.1186/s13023-022-02603-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a rare neuromuscular disease including a growing and heterogeneous number of subtypes with variable phenotype. Their clinical and histopathological characteristics frequently overlap with other neuromuscular dystrophies. Our goal was to identify, by a non-invasive method, a molecular signature including biochemical and epigenetic parameters with potential value for patient prognosis and stratification. RESULTS Circulating miRNome was obtained by smallRNA-seq in plasma from LGMD patients (n = 6) and matched-controls (n = 6). Data, validated by qPCR in LGMD samples, were also examined in other common muscular dystrophies: Duchenne (DMD) (n = 5) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) (n = 4). Additionally, biochemical and clinical parameters were analyzed. miRNome analysis showed that thirteen differentially expressed miRs could separate LGMD vs control group by hierarchical clustering. Most of differentially expressed miRs in LGMD patients were up-regulated (miR-122-5p, miR-122b-3p, miR-6511a-3p, miR-192-5p, miR-574-3p, mir-885-3p, miR-29a-3p, miR-4646-3p, miR-203a-3p and miR-203b-5p) whilst only three of sequenced miRs were significantly down-regulated (miR-19b-3p, miR-7706, miR-323b-3p) when compared to matched controls. Bioinformatic analysis of target genes revealed cell cycle, muscle tissue development, regeneration and senescence as the most affected pathways. Four of these circulating miRs (miR-122-5p, miR-192-5p, miR-19b-3p and miR-323b-3p), together with the myomiR miR-206, were further analysed by qPCR in LGMD, DMD and FSHD. The receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) revealed high area under the curve (AUC) values for selected miRs in all groups, indicating that these miRs have good sensitivity and specificity to distinguish LGMD, DMD and FSHD patients from healthy controls. miR-122-5p, miR-192-5p and miR-323-3p were differentially expressed compared to matched-controls in all groups but apparently, each type of muscular dystrophy showed a specific pattern of miR expression. Finally, a strong correlation between miRs and biochemical data was only found in LGMD patients: while miR-192-5p and miR-122-5p negatively correlated with CK, miR-192-5p positively correlated with vitamin D3 and ALP. CONCLUSIONS Although limited by the small number of patients included in this study, we propose here a specific combination of circulating miR-122-5p/miR-192-5p/miR-323-3 and biochemical parameters as a potential molecular signature whose clinical value for LGMD patient prognosis and stratification should be further confirmed in a larger cohort of patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Senile osteoporosis (SOP) is one of the most prevalent diseases that afflict the elderly population, which characterized by decreased osteogenic ability. Glucosamine (GlcN) is an over-the-counter dietary supplement. Our previous study reported that GlcN promotes osteoblast proliferation by activating autophagy in vitro. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects and mechanisms of GlcN on senile osteoporosis and osteogenic differentiation in vivo.
Methods
Aging was induced by subcutaneous injection of d-Galactose (d-Gal), and treated with GlcN or vehicle. The anti-senile-osteoporosis effect of GlcN was explored by examining changes in micro-CT, serum indicators, body weight, protein and gene expression of aging and apoptosis. Additionally, the effects of GlcN on protein and gene expression of osteogenesis and autophagy were observed by inhibiting autophagy with 3-methyladenine (3-MA).
Results
GlcN significantly improved bone mineral density (BMD) and bone micro-architecture, decreased skeletal senescence and apoptosis and increased osteogenesis in d-Gal induced osteoporotic mice. While all effect was reversed with 3-MA.
Conclusion
GlcN effectively delayed the progression of osteoporosis in senile osteoporotic mice by promoting osteoblast autophagy. This study suggested that GlcN may be a prospective candidate drug for the treatment of SOP.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis (OP) is a metabolic disease that involves microstructure destruction and fracture damage. The present study probed into the significance of miR-215-5p in OP progression. Methods Serum samples were collected from surgical patients and healthy controls. qRT-PCR analysis was utilized to determine the miR-215-5p level in clinical samples and human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) induced by β-glycerol phosphate. A dual luciferase reporter assay was exploited to examine the targeted relationship between miR-215-5p and XIAP. The mineralization and calcium deposition of hBMSCs were assessed by detection of ALP activity, Alizarin red staining, and osteoblast marker expression. Protein expression was determined by western blot analysis. Results MiR-215-5p was significantly reduced in patients with OP and increased in hBMSCs treated with β-glycerophosphate. Enhanced miR-215-5p level triggered augment in osteoblast markers (Alkaline phosphatase/ ALP, Osteocalcin/ OCN, and Runt-Related Transcription Factor 2/ Runx2), which was accompanied by the increase of ALP activity in hBMSCs and accumulation of Calcium. Functional experiments show that XIAP was a target of miR-215-5p and negatively modulated by miR-215-5p. XIAP expression levels were increased in OP samples, and decreased XIAP in β-glycerophosphate-treated hBMSCs inhibited its’ osteogenic differentiation. Functional loss and acquisition experiments depicted that miR-215-5p promoted the differentiation of hBMSCs by inhibiting the XIAP level, playing a protective role in the pathogenesis of OP. Conclusions β-glycerophosphate promoted the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs, increased miR-215-5p level, and decreased XIAP. miR-215-5p stimulated osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs by targeting XIAP, shedding new insights for the detection and therapy of OP.

Abstract
Mechanical force, being so ubiquitous that it is often taken for granted and overlooked, is now gaining the spotlight for reams of evidence corroborating their crucial roles in the living body. The bone, particularly, experiences manifold extraneous force like strain and compression, as well as intrinsic cues like fluid shear stress and physical properties of the microenvironment. Though sparkled in diversified background, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) concerning the mechanotransduction process that bone undergoes are not yet detailed in a systematic way. Our principal goal in this research is to highlight the potential lncRNA-focused mechanical signaling systems which may be adapted by bone-related cells for biophysical environment response. Based on credible lists of force-sensitive mRNAs and miRNAs, we constructed a force-responsive competing endogenous RNA network for lncRNA identification. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we then illustrated the possible crosstalk between lncRNAs and mRNAs as well as transcriptional factors and mapped lncRNAs to known signaling pathways involved in bone remodeling and mechanotransduction. Last, we developed combinative analysis between predicted and established lncRNAs, constructing a pathway–lncRNA network which suggests interactive relationships and new roles of known factors such as H19. In conclusion, our work provided a systematic quartet network analysis, uncovered candidate force-related lncRNAs, and highlighted both the upstream and downstream processes that are possibly involved. A new mode of bioinformatic analysis integrating sequencing data, literature retrieval, and computational algorithm was also introduced. Hopefully, our work would provide a moment of clarity against the multiplicity and complexity of the lncRNA world confronting mechanical input.

Abstract
Background Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) form a perivascular cell population in the bone marrow. These cells do not present naïve myogenic potential. However, their myogenic identity could be induced experimentally in vitro or in vivo. In vivo, after transplantation into injured muscle, BMSCs rarely fused with myofibers. However, BMSC participation in myofiber reconstruction increased if they were modified by NICD or PAX3 overexpression. Nevertheless, BMSCs paracrine function could play a positive role in skeletal muscle regeneration. Previously, we showed that SDF-1 treatment and coculture with myofibers increased BMSC ability to reconstruct myofibers. We also noticed that SDF-1 treatment changed selected miRNAs expression, including miR151 and miR5100. Methods Mouse BMSCs were transfected with miR151 and miR5100 mimics and their proliferation, myogenic differentiation, and fusion with myoblasts were analyzed. Results We showed that miR151 and miR5100 played an important role in the regulation of BMSC proliferation and migration. Moreover, the presence of miR151 and miR5100 transfected BMSCs in co-cultures with human myoblasts increased their fusion. This effect was achieved in an IGFBP2 dependent manner. Conclusions Mouse BMSCs did not present naïve myogenic potential but secreted proteins could impact myogenic cell differentiation. miR151 and miR5100 transfection changed BMSC migration and IGFBP2 and MMP12 expression in BMSCs. miR151 and miR5100 transfected BMSCs increased myoblast fusion in vitro.

Abstract
Currently, findings support that 75% of the human genome is actively transcribed, but only 2% is translated into a protein, according to databases such as ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) [1]. The development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, computational methods for genome assembly and biological models have led to the realization of the importance of the previously unconsidered non-coding fraction of the genome. Along with this, noncoding RNAs have been shown to be epigenetic, transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators in a large number of cellular processes [2]. Within the group of non-coding RNAs, lncRNAs represent a fascinating field of study, given the functional versatility in their mode of action on their molecular targets. In recent years, there has been an interest in learning about lncRNAs in MSC differentiation. The aim of this review is to address the signaling mechanisms where lncRNAs are involved, emphasizing their role in either stimulating or inhibiting the transition to differentiated cell. Specifically, the main types of MSC differentiation are discussed: myogenesis, osteogenesis, adipogenesis and chondrogenesis. The description of increasingly new lncRNAs reinforces their role as players in the well-studied field of MSC differentiation, allowing a step towards a better understanding of their biology and their potential application in the clinic.

Abstract
Tissue engineered bone brings hope to the treatment of bone defects, and the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells is the key link. Inducing osteogenic differentiation of stem cells may be a potential approach to promote bone regeneration. In recent years, lncRNA has been studied in the field increasingly, which is believed can regulate cell cycle, proliferation, metastasis, differentiation and immunity, participating in a variety of physiology and pathology processes. At present, it has been confirmed that certain lncRNAs regulate the osteogenesis of stem cells and take part in mediating signaling pathways including Wnt/β-catenin, MAPK, TGF-β/BMP, and Notch pathways. Here, we provided an overview of lncRNA, reviewed its researches in the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, emphasized the importance of lncRNA in bone regeneration, and focused on the roles of lncRNA in signaling pathways, in order to make adequate preparations for applying lncRNA to bone tissue Engineering, letting it regulate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells for bone regeneration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs) have the potential to differentiate into osteoblasts. This study investigated the function and potential mechanisms of a novel lncRNA LINC02381 in hUC-MSC osteogenic differentiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS hUC-MSCs were maintained in osteogenic differentiation medium. RT-qPCR assay was performed to assess LINC02381 expression. Alizarin Red S (ARS) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining were performed to evaluate osteogenic differentiation. The interaction between miR-21 and LINC0238/KLF12 was determined by luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay was used to confirm the transcriptional regulation of KLF12 on Wnt4 promoter. The nuclear translocation of β-catenin was evaluated using immunofluorescence. hUC-MSCs seeded on Bio-Oss Collagen scaffolds were transplanted into nude mice to assess in vivo osteogenesis. Bone formation was observed by H&E and Masson's trichrome staining. OSX and OPN levels were assessed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS LINC02381 was up-regulated in the clinical samples of osteoporotic patients. However, LINC02381 expression was reduced during osteogenic differentiation of hUC-MSCs. Enforced expression of LINC02381 suppressed the osteogenic differentiation of hUC-MSCs. Mechanistically, LINC02381 sponged miR-21 to enhance KLF12 expression, which led to the inactivation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Furthermore, miR-21 mimics or KLF12 silencing counteracted LINC02381-induced inhibition of osteogenic differentiation, whereas IWP-4 (an inhibitor of Wnt pathway) abolished this effect. CONCLUSION In summary, LINC02381 repressed osteogenic differentiation of hUS-MSCs through sponging miR-21 to enhance KLF12-mediated inactivation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, indicating that LINC02381 might be a therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Physical activity or exercise are known to promote bone formation and decrease bone resorption to maintain skeletal and bone health both in animal models and in humans with osteoporosis. Previous studies have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are able to regulate bone metabolism. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate whether lncRNAs responded to exercise by regulating the balance of bone metabolism in order to prevent osteoporosis. To meet this end, ovariectomized mice were used in the present study to establish an osteoporosis model. The exercise treatment groups were subjected to 9 weeks of treadmill running exercise in 4 weeks of the operation was performed Femurs were collected to measure bone mineral density, bone mass, bone formation and resorption. The expression levels of lncRNAs were subsequently measured using microarray and gene function analyses. The pairwise comparison results [ovariectomy (OVX) vs. OVX + exercise (EX); OVX vs. SHAM; SHAM vs. SHAM + EX; OVX + EX vs. SHAM + EX] of the gene microarray analysis revealed that the expression of 2,424 lncRNAs (1718 upregulated and 706 downregulated) were significantly altered in the mouse femurs following treadmill running. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, incorporating the GO annotations ‘biological processes’, ‘molecular function’ and ‘cellular components’, of osteoporosis revealed that the VEGF, mTOR and NF-κB signaling pathways were potential targets of the lncRNAs. Moreover, it was possible to predict the target microRNAs (miRNAs) of six lncRNAs (LOC105246953, LOC102637959, NONMMUT014677, NONMMUT027251, ri|D130079K21|PX00187K16|1491 and NONMMUT006626), which suggested that the underlying mechanism by which lncRNAs respond to exercise involved bone regulation via lncRNA-miRNA sponge adsorption. Overall, these results suggested that the treadmill running exercise did regulate lncRNA expression in the bone, and that this was involved in the prevention of osteoporosis.

Abstract
This investigation aimed to assess the levels of serum OIP5-AS1 and micro RNA-410-3p (miR-410-3p) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and their potential molecular mechanism. The levels of OIP5-AS1 and miR-410-3p as well as mRNA levels of IL-13 were measured. Pearson variable linear test was applied to analyze the correlations between forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and OIP5-AS1. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to predict the predictive possibility of OIP5-AS1. The viable cells were detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to indicate the inflammatory situation of 16HBE cells. Luciferase activity assay was conducted to examine the relationships between OIP5-AS1 and miR-410-3p together with miR-410-3p and IL-13. Augmented levels of OIP5-AS1, declined levels of miR-410-3p, and enhanced expression of IL-13 were unveiled. The expression of OIP5-AS1 and miR-410-3p was related to the ratio of FEV1 respectively. OIP5-AS1 might serve as a diagnostic biomarker. Interference of OIP5-AS1 restored the abnormal cell viability, apoptosis, and inflammation in cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-stimulated 16HBE cells by regulating miR-410-3p and IL-13. OIP5-AS1 appeared to be a biomarker for distinguishing COPD patients from smokers. OIP5-AS1/miR-410-3p/IL-13 exerted function on the cell viability, apoptosis, and inflammation in CSE-steered cell models.

Biomed Eng Online 2021; 20:111. [PMID: 34794451 PMCID: PMC8600697 DOI: 10.1186/s12938-021-00949-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to explore whether moderate-intensity exercise can alleviate motion-induced post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) and the expression change of lncRNA H19 during this progression. METHODS Twenty-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups: model control group (MC group, n = 6), treadmill model group (M group, n = 6), rehabilitation control group (RC group, n = 6), treadmill model + rehabilitation training group (M + R group, n = 6) and treadmill model + convalescent group (M + C group, n = 6). Paraffin sections were used to observe the pathological changes in the mouse knee joint in each group. A micro-CT was used to scan the knee joint to obtain the morphological indexes of the tibial plateau bone. Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of inflammatory factors, synthetic and catabolic factors in cartilage. RESULTS After high-intensity exercise for 4 weeks, the inflammation and catabolism of the mouse knee cartilage were enhanced, and the anabolism was weakened. Further study showed that these results were partially reversed after 4-week moderate-intensity training. The results of hematoxylin-eosin staining confirmed this finding. Meanwhile, high-intensity exercise reduced the expression of lncRNA H19 in cartilage, while the expression of lncRNA H19 increased after 4 weeks of moderate-intensity exercise. CONCLUSION High-intensity treadmill running can cause injury to the knee cartilage in C57BL/6 mice which leads to PTOA and a decrease of lncRNA H19 expression in cartilage. Moderate-intensity exercise can relieve PTOA and partially reverse lncRNA H19 expression.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common form of metabolic bone disease that is costly to treat and is primarily diagnosed on the basis of bone mineral density. As the influences of genetic lesions and environmental factors are increasingly studied in the pathological development of osteoporosis, regulated epigenetics are emerging as the important pathogenesis mechanisms in osteoporosis. Recently, osteoporosis genome-wide association studies and multi-omics technologies have revealed that susceptibility loci and the misregulation of epigenetic modifiers are key factors in osteoporosis. Over the past decade, extensive studies have demonstrated epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone/chromatin modifications, and non-coding RNAs, as potential contributing factors in osteoporosis that affect disease initiation and progression. Herein, we review recent advances in epigenetics in osteoporosis, with a focus on exploring the underlying mechanisms and potential diagnostic/prognostic biomarker applications for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background Quercetin and H19 can promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, whether quercetin regulates H19 expression to promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs is unclear. Methods BMSC proliferation, matrix mineralization, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8, ALP assay kit, and alizarin red staining kit, respectively. Expression of H19, miR-625-5p, BMP-2, osteocalcin, and RUNX2 were measured by qRT-PCR; β-catenin protein level was measured by western blotting. Results Quercetin promoted BMSC proliferation, enhanced ALP activity, and upregulated the expression of BMP-2, osteocalcin, and RUNX2 mRNAs, suggesting that it promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Moreover, quercetin increased H19 expression, while the effect of quercetin on BMSCs was reversed by silencing H19 expression. Additionally, miR-625-5p, interacted with H19, was downregulated during quercetin-induced BMSC osteogenic differentiation, which negatively correlated with H19 expression. Silencing miR-625-5p expression promoted BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, whereas miR-625-5p overexpression weakened the effect of quercetin on BMSCs. Finally, quercetin treatment or downregulation of miR-625-5p expression increased β-catenin protein level in BMSCs. Upregulation or downregulation of miR-625-5p or H19 expression, respectively, inhibited β-catenin protein level in quercetin treated-BMSCs. Conclusion H19 promotes, while miR-625-5p inhibits BMSC osteogenic differentiation. Quercetin activates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and promotes BMSC osteogenic differentiation via the H19/miR-625-5p axis.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis is a widespread and serious metabolic bone disease. At present, revealing the molecular mechanisms of osteoporosis and developing effective prevention and treatment methods are of great significance to health worldwide. LncRNA is a non-coding RNA peptide chain with more than 200 nucleotides. Researchers have identified many lncRNAs implicated in the development of diseases and lncRNA H19 is an example. Results A large amount of evidence supports the fact that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) genes, such as H19, have multiple, far-reaching effects on various biological functions. It has been found that lncRNA H19 has a role in the regulation of different types of cells in the body including the osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts found in bones. Therefore, it can be postulated that lncRNA H19 affects the incidence and development of osteoporosis. Conclusion The prospect of targeting lncRNA H19 in the treatment of osteoporosis is promising because of the effects that lncRNA H19 has on the process of osteogenic differentiation. In this review, we summarize the molecular pathways and mechanisms of lncRNA H19 in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and summarize the research progress of targeting H19 as a treatment option. Research is emerging that explores more effective treatment possibilities for bone metabolism diseases using molecular targets.

Abstract
Emerging studies have revealed that non-coding RNAs contribute to regulating intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Here, we intended to probe into the function of miR-19b-3p in IVDD evolvement. The miR-19b-3p level in the intervertebral disc (IVD) tissues of IVDD patients and IL-1β/TNF-α/hydrogen peroxide-treated human nucleus pulposus cells (HNPCs) was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Also, qRT-PCR was conducted to examine the profiles of MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5. The PTEN/PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway was examined by Western blot (WB). The miR-19b-3p overexpression assay was carried out, and HNPC proliferation and apoptosis were compared by the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry (FCM). In addition, the mechanism of action of miR-19b-3p was clarified using the PTEN inhibitor (VO-Ohpic triphosphate) or the mTOR inhibitor (Rapamycin) on the basis of IL-1β intervention and miR-19b-3p mimics transfection. Our results testified that miR-19b-3p expression was curbed in IVD tissues of the IVDD patients (vs. normal IVD tissues) and IL-1β-, TNF-α, or hydrogen peroxide-treated HNPCs. Up-regulating miR-19b-3p enhanced HNPC proliferation and hampered its apoptosis. Moreover, miR-19b-3p dampened the PTEN profile and activated the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Interestingly, attenuating PTEN reduced IL-1β-, TNF-α-, or hydrogen peroxide-mediated HNPC apoptosis and up-regulated PI3K/Akt/mTOR, while inhibiting the mTOR pathway offset the protective function of miR-19b-3p. Further mechanism studies illustrated that miR-19b-3p targeted the 3'untranslated region (UTR) of PTEN and abated the PTEN level. This research confirmed that miR-19b-3p suppressed HNPC apoptosis in the in-vitro model of IVDD by regulating PTEN/PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

Abstract
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the leading cause of secondary osteoporosis. Although bone mineral density (BMD) tends to recover after parathyroidectomy in PHPT patients, the degree of recovery varies. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) profiles are known to be correlated with osteoporosis and fracture. We aimed to investigate whether osteoporotic fracture-related miRNAs are associated with postoperative BMD recovery in PHPT. Here, 16 previously identified osteoporotic fracture-related miRNAs were selected. We analyzed the association between the preoperative level of each miRNA and total hip (TH) BMD change. All 12 patients (among the 18 patients enrolled) were cured of PHPT after parathyroidectomy as parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium levels were restored to the normal range. Preoperative miR-19b-3p, miR-122-5p, and miR-375 showed a negative association with the percent changes in TH BMD from baseline. The association remained robust for miR-122-5p and miR-375 even after adjusting for sex, age, PTH, and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide levels in a multivariable model. In conclusion, preoperative circulating miR-122-5p and miR-375 levels were negatively associated with TH BMD changes after parathyroidectomy in PHPT patients. miRNAs have the potential to serve as predictive biomarkers of treatment response in PHPT patients, which merits further investigation.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disorder typically characterized by decreased bone mass and an increased risk of fracture. At present, the detailed molecular mechanism underlying the development of osteoporosis remains to be elucidated. Accumulating evidence shows that non-coding (nc)RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), play significant roles in osteoporosis through the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression as regulatory factors. Previous studies have demonstrated that ncRNAs participate in maintaining bone homeostasis by regulating physiological and developmental processes in osteoblasts, osteoclasts and bone marrow stromal cells. In the present review, the latest research investigating the involvement of miRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs in regulating the differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy of cells that maintain the bone microenvironment in osteoporosis is summarized. Deeper insight into the aspects of osteoporosis pathogenesis involving the deregulation of ncRNAs could facilitate the development of therapeutic approaches for osteoporosis.

Abstract
It has been reported that adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) accelerate wound healing. Moreover, exosomes, which serve as paracrine factors, play a vital role in wound healing. However, the mechanism remains unclear. This research aimed to determine the roles of exosomes derived from ADSCs (ADSC-Exos) in wound skin tissue repair. Flow cytometry and electron microscopy were carried out to identify ADSCs and ADSC-Exos, respectively; RT-qPCR was performed to assess the lncRNA H19 (H19), microRNA19b (miR-19b) and SRY-related high-mobility-group box 9 (SOX9) levels; Western blotting was carried out to evaluate collagen and β-catenin expression; CCK-8, scratch and transwell assays were conducted to evaluate human skin fibroblast (HSF) cell proliferation, migration and invasion, respectively; the potential binding sites between H19 and miR-19b, miR-19b and SOX9 were detected by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and RIP assay; and H&E staining was conducted to observe skin wound tissues. ADSC-Exos accelerated the proliferation, migration and invasion of HSF cells via H19. H19 acts as a molecular sponge towards miR-19b, which targets SOX9. ADSC-Exos inhibited miR-19b expression via H19, resulting in accelerated HSF proliferation, migration and invasion. ADSC-Exos upregulated SOX9 to activate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, resulting in accelerated HSF cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and ADSC-Exos promoted skin wound healing via H19 in mice.The high expression of H19 in ADSC-Exos may upregulate SOX9 expression via miR-19b to accelerate wound healing of skin tissues. Our study may provide novel perspectives for therapy to accelerate skin wound healing.

Gao X, Xue Y, Yang K. LINC00899 promotes osteogenic differentiation by targeting miR-374a and RUNX2 expression. Exp Ther Med 2021; 22:1071. [PMID: 34447464 PMCID: PMC8355664 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2021.10505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2020] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Accumulating researches indicate that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) osteogenic differentiation. The present study aimed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 899 (LINC00899) in osteoporosis. Therefore, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was performed to evaluate the expression levels of LINC00899, microRNA (miR)-374a and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) in clinical tissues and hBMSCs. The potential interaction between miR-374a and LINC00899 or RUNX2 was predicted utilizing the StarBase software and verified by luciferase reporter and RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation assays. In addition, alkaline phosphatase activity and Alizarin Red S staining were used to evaluate the osteogenic potential of hBMSCs. The results showed that the expression levels of LINC00899 were gradually increased, whilst those of miR-374a were decreased as the osteogenic induction process progresses. Additionally, the expression of LINC00899 was downregulated in the bone tissues of patients with osteoporosis, where LINC00899 knockdown reduced the expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN) and RUNX2 in hBMSCs. LINC00899 was also found to directly target miR-374a, thereby inhibiting its expression. Finally, it was predicted that RUNX2 could be directly targeted by miR-374a, such that miR-374a silencing partially abolished the inhibitory effect of LINC00899 knockdown on the expression of RUNX2, OPN and OCN. Overall, findings of the present study suggested that LINC00899 could facilitate the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs and prevent osteoporosis by sponging miR-374a to enhance the expression of RUNX2, which provide a potentially useful therapeutic strategy for patients with osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a severe bone disease commonly occurring in older males and postmenopausal females. Previous studies have shown that long non‑coding (lnc)RNA growth arrest‑specific 5 (GAS5) serves an important role in osteoporosis. However, its role is unclear and requires further exploration. The relative expression levels of GAS5 and miR‑10a‑3p in the serum samples of patients with osteoporosis, as well as the relative expression levels of GAS5, microRNA (miR)‑10a‑3p and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) mRNA in osteoblasts, were detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. ELISA and western blotting were used to detect the expression levels of VEGFA. A Matrigel angiogenesis test was used to assess the effects on angiogenesis. RNA binding interactions between GAS5/miR‑10a‑3p and miR‑10a‑3p/VEGFA were evaluated using dual‑luciferase reporter assays. Furthermore, the effects of the GAS5/miR‑10a‑3p/VEGFA axis were investigated via ELISA, western blotting and Matrigel angiogenesis. GAS5 was significantly downregulated and miR‑10a‑3p was upregulated in patients with osteoporosis. Overexpression of GAS5 promoted angiogenesis. GAS5 acted as a sponge of miR‑10a‑3p; VEGFA was a target gene of miR‑10a‑3p. GAS5 induced angiogenesis by inhibiting miR‑10a‑3p and enhancing VEGFA expression. These results indicated that GAS5 overexpression increased angiogenesis by inhibiting miR‑10a‑3p, promoting the expression of VEGFA. The present study revealed a novel mechanism and provided novel targets for the clinical treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background In recent years, H19, as one of the most well-known long non-coding RNA, has been reported to play important roles in many biological and physiological processes. H19 has been identified to regulate the osteogenic differentiation of various stem cells in many studies. However, the detailed role and regulation mechanism of H19 was not consistent in the reported studies. Main body of the manuscript In this review article we summarized the effect and mechanism of lncRNA H19 on osteogenic differentiation of various stem cells reported in the published literatures. The role and mechanism of H19, H19 expression changes, effect of H19 on cell proliferation in osteogenic differentiation were respectively reviewed. Conclusions An increasing number of studies have provided evidence that H19 play its role in the regulation of stem cell osteogenic differentiation by different mechanisms. Most of the studies favored the positive regulatory effect of H19 through lncRNA-miRNA pathway. The function and underlying mechanisms by which H19 contributes to osteogenic differentiation require further investigation.

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
Osteoporosis is a common bone disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone microstructure, which predisposes to higher risks of bone fragility and bone fracture. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of RNAs with a length of > 200 nucleotides without protein-coding function, which control the expression of genes and affect multiple biological processes. Accumulating evidence suggests that lncRNAs are widely involved in the molecular mechanisms of osteoporosis. This review aims to summarize the function and underlying mechanism of lncRNAs involved in the development of osteoporosis, and how it contributes to osteoblast and osteoclast function. This knowledge will shed new light on the modulation and potential treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) plays an essential role in bone formation. Its imbalance can lead to osteoporosis. Estrogen and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been confirmed to participate in osteogenesis. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of our study was to explore the function of lncRNA H19 in estrogen-induced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. The present research demonstrated that the expression levels of lncRNA H19 and SIRT1 were markedly downregulated in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP), while miR-532-3p expression was obviously increased. Moreover, estrogen induced the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs by upregulating lncRNA H19. Furthermore, our integrated experiments showed that lncRNA H19 caused a decrease in the expression of miR-532-3p, which was verified to target SIRT1 directly. Additionally, estrogen alleviated osteoporosis in OVX rats through lncRNA H19-mediated miR-532-3p/SIRT1 axis. Our findings imply that lncRNA H19 mediates estrogen-regulated osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs via miR-532-3p/SIRT1 signalling and may become a novel target for alleviating PMOP.

Abstract
A harmonious balance between osteoblast and osteoclast activity guarantees optimal bone formation and resorption, pathological conditions affecting the bone may arise. In recent years, emerging evidence has shown that epigenetic mechanisms play an important role during osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis processes, including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). These molecules are a class of ncRNAs with lengths exceeding 200 nucleotides not translated into protein, that have attracted the attention of the scientific community as potential biomarkers to use for the future development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for several pathologies, including bone diseases. This review aims to provide an overview of the lncRNAs and their possible molecular mechanisms in the osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis processes. The deregulation of their expression profiles in common diseases associated with an altered bone turnover is also described. In perspective, lncRNAs could be considered potential innovative molecular biomarkers to help with earlier diagnosis of bone metabolism-related disorders and for the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA transcriptomic reveals antler growth regulatory network. Mol Genet Genomics 2021; 296:689-703.

Abstract
The growth of antler is driven by endochondral ossification in the growth center of the apical region. Antler grows faster than cancer tissues, but it can be stably regulated and regenerated periodically. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of how antler grows rapidly without carcinogenesis, in this study, we used RNA-seq technology to evaluate the changes of miRNA and mRNA profiles in antler at four different developmental stages, including 15, 60, 90, and 110 days. We identified a total of 55004 unigenes and 246 miRNAs of which, 10182, 13258, 10740 differentially expressed (DE) unigenes and 35, 53, 27 DE miRNAs were identified in 60-day vs. 15-day, 90-day vs. 60-day, and 110-day vs. 90-day. GO and KEGG pathway analysis indicated that DE unigenes and DE miRNA were mainly associated with chondrogenesis, osteogenesis and inhibition of oncogenesis, that were closely related to antler growth. The interaction networks of mRNA-mRNA and miRNA-mRNA related to chondrogenesis, osteogenesis and inhibition of oncogenesis of antler were constructed. The results indicated that mRNAs (COL2A1, SOX9, WWP2, FGFR1, SPARC, LOX, etc.) and miRNAs (miR-145, miR-199a-3p, miR-140, miR-199a-5p, etc.) might have key roles in chondrogenesis and osteogenesis of antler. As well as mRNA (TP53, Tpm3 and ATP1A1, etc.) and miRNA (miR-106a, miR-145, miR-1260b and miR-2898, etc.) might play important roles in inhibiting the carcinogenesis of antler. In summary, we constructed the mRNA-mRNA and miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks related to chondrogenesis, osteogenesis and inhibition of oncogenesis of antler, and identified key candidate mRNAs and miRNAs among them. Further developments and validations may provide a reference for in-depth analysis of the molecular mechanism of antler growth without carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The abnormal expression of circulating miRNAs (c-miRNAs) has become an emerging field in the development of miRNAs-based diagnostic and therapeutic tools for human diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA). OA is the most common form of arthritis leading to disability and a major socioeconomic burden. The abnormal expression of miRNAs plays important roles in the pathogenesis of OA. Unraveling the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of OA will throw light on the potential for the development of miRNAs-based diagnostic and therapeutic tools for OA. This article reviews and highlights recent advances in the study of miRNAs in OA, with specific demonstration of the functions of miRNA, especially c-miRNA, in OA pathogenesis as well as its potential implication in the treatment of OA. Based on a systematic literature search using online databases, we figured out the following main points: (1) the integrative systematic review of c-mRNAs and its target genes related to OA pathogenesis; (2) the potential use of c-miRNAs for OA diagnosis purposes as potential biomarkers; and (3) for therapeutic purposes, and we also highlight certain remedies that regulate microRNA expression based on its target genes.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, which leads to decreased bone strength and increased fracture risk. Osteoporosis mainly results from a disruption of the balance between bone formation mediated by osteoblasts and bone resorption mediated by osteoclasts. At present, the molecular mechanisms underlying osteoporosis are still not fully understood. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules that exceed 200 nucleotides (nt) in length and have limited or no protein-coding capacity. Over the past decade, numerous lncRNAs have been demonstrated to participate in multiple biological processes and to play essential roles in the pathogenesis of various diseases. In this review, we summarize recent progress in research on lncRNAs in osteoporosis and mainly focus on their regulatory roles in osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. Moreover, we briefly discuss the potential clinical applications of lncRNAs in osteoporosis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a reliable source for cell-based regenerative medicine owing to their multipotency and biological functions. However, aging-induced systemic homeostasis disorders in vivo and cell culture passaging in vitro induce a functional decline of MSCs, switching MSCs to a senescent status with impaired self-renewal capacity and biased differentiation tendency. MSC functional decline accounts for the pathogenesis of many diseases and, more importantly, limits the large-scale applications of MSCs in regenerative medicine. Growing evidence implies that epigenetic mechanisms are a critical regulator of the differentiation programs for cell fate and are subject to changes during aging. Thus, we here review epigenetic dysregulations that contribute to MSC aging and osteoporosis. Comprehending detailed epigenetic mechanisms could provide us with a novel horizon for dissecting MSC-related pathogenesis and further optimizing MSC-mediated regenerative therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence has revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exert critical roles in biological mineralization. As a critical process for dentin formation, odontoblastic differentiation is regulated by complex signaling networks. The present study aimed to investigate the biological role and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNA-H19 (H19) in regulating the odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). METHODS We performed lncRNA microarray assay to reveal the expression patterns of lncRNAs involved in odontoblastic differentiation. H19 was identified and verified as a critical factor by qRT-PCR. The gain- and loss-of-function studies were performed to investigate the biological role of H19 in regulating odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs in vitro and in vivo. Odontoblastic differentiation was evaluated through qRT-PCR, Western blot, and Alizarin Red S staining. Bioinformatics analysis identified that H19 could directly interact with miR-140-5p, which was further verified by luciferase reporter assay. After overexpression of miR-140-5p in hDPSCs, odontoblastic differentiation was determined. Moreover, the potential target genes of miR-140-5p were investigated and the biological functions of BMP-2 and FGF9 in hDPSCs were verified. Co-transfection experiments were conducted to validate miR-140-5p was involved in H19-mediated odontoblastic differentiation in hDPSCs. RESULTS The expression of H19 was significantly upregulated in hDPSCs undergoing odontoblastic differentiation. Overexpression of H19 stimulated odontoblastic differentiation in vitro and in vivo, whereas downregulation of H19 revealed the opposite effect. H19 binds directly to miR-140-5p and overexpression of miR-140-5p inhibited odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs. H19 acted as a miR-140-5p sponge, resulting in regulated the expression of BMP-2 and FGF9. Overexpression of H19 abrogated the inhibitory effect of miR-140-5p on odontoblastic differentiation. CONCLUSION Our data revealed that H19 plays a positive regulatory role in odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs through miR-140-5p/BMP-2/FGF9 axis, suggesting that H19 may be a stimulatory regulator of odontogenesis.
