Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disorder. Multiple profiling studies have contributed to characterizing biomarkers and therapeutic targets for osteoporosis. However, due to the limitation of the platform of miRNA sequencing, only a part of miRNA can be sequenced based on one platform. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we performed miRNA sequencing in osteoporosis bone samples based on a novel platform Illumina Hiseq 2500. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to construct osteoporosis-related competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks. Gene interference and osteogenic induction were used to examine the effect of identified ceRNA networks on osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs). RESULTS miR-1303 was lowly expressed, while cochlin (COCH) and KCNMA1-AS1 were highly expressed in the osteoporosis subjects. COCH knockdown improved the osteogenic differentiation of HBMSCs. Meanwhile, COCH inhibition compensated for the suppression of osteogenic differentiation of HBMSCs by miR-1303 knockdown. Further, KCNMA1-AS1 knockdown promoted osteogenic differentiation of HBMSCs through downregulating COCH by sponging miR-1303. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the KCNMA1-AS1/miR-1303/COCH axis is a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The incidence of musculoskeletal disorders affecting bones, joints, and muscles is dramatically increasing in parallel with the increased longevity of the worldwide population, severely impacting on the individual's quality of life and on the healthcare costs. Inactivity and sedentary lifestyle are nowadays considered the main drivers of age-associated musculoskeletal disorders and exercise may counteract such alterations also in other bone- and muscle-centered disorders. This review aims at clarifying the potential use of exercise training to improve musculoskeletal health. RECENT FINDINGS Both the skeletal muscle and the bone are involved in a complex crosstalk determining, in part through tissue-specific and inflammatory/immune released factors, the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders. Exercise is able to modulate the levels of those molecules and several associated molecular pathways. Evidence from preclinical and clinical trials supports the adoption of exercise and the future use of exercise mimicking drugs will optimize the care of individuals with musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by lowing bone mineral density. This study aimed to investigate the genes, miRNAs, pathways, and miRNA-gene interaction pairs involved in the pathogenesis of female osteoporosis. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs, GSE62402), differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs, GSE63446), and differentially methylated genes (GSE62588) between females with low- and high-hip bone mineral density were identified. Genes common to DEGs, differentially methylated genes, DEmiRNAs' targets, and osteoporosis-related genes were retained and used to construct the miRNA-mRNA-pathway regulatory network. The expression of hub nodes was validated in microarray datasets (genes in GSE56116 and miRNAs in GSE93883). Thirty-four DEmiRNAs and 179 DEGs with opposite expression-methylation profiles were identified. Functional enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were associated with pathways including "hsa00380:Tryptophan metabolism," "hsa04670:Leukocyte transendothelial migration," "hsa04630:Jak-STAT signaling pathway," and "hsa04062:Chemokine signaling pathway." The miRNA-mRNA-pathway network included 10 DEGs, 9 miRNAs, and 4 osteoporosis-related pathways. The miRNA-gene-pathway axes including hsa-miR-27b-5p/3p-IFNAR1-hsa04630, hsa-miR-30a-5p/3p-IFNAR1-hsa04630, hsa-miR-30a-5p/3p-ALDH2-hsa00380, and hsa-miR-194-5p/3p-NCF2-hsa04670 were included in the network. Microarray validation showed that IFNAR1, NCF2, and ALDH2 were upregulated, and hsa-miR-30a-3p/5p, hsa-miR-194-3p/5p, hsa-miR-27b-3p/5p, and hsa-miR-34a-3p were downregulated in osteoporotic samples compared with control. Axes including hsa-miR-27b/30a-IFNAR1-Jak-STAT signaling pathway, hsa-miR-30a-ALDH2-Tryptophan metabolism, and hsa-miR-194-NCF2-Leukocyte transendothelial migration were involved in osteoporosis pathogenesis.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a systemic metabolic bone disease in postmenopausal women. It has been known that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a regulatory role in the progression of osteoporosis. However, the mechanism underlying the effects of exosome-derived lncRNA on regulating the occurrence and development of PMOP remains unclear. Exosomes in the serum of patients PMOP were collected and identified. RNA sequencing was performed to obtain the expression profile of exosome-derived lncRNAs in the serum of PMOP patients. RNA sequencing identified 26 differentially expressed lncRNAs from the exosomes between healthy people and PMOP patients. Among them, the expression of TCONS_00072128 was dramatically down-regulated. A co-location method was employed and searched its potential target gene caspase 8. TCONS_00072128 knockdown notably decreased the expression of caspase 8, while the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs was also reduced. Reversely, TCONS_00072128 overexpression enhanced caspase 8 expression and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Moreover, the continuous expression of caspase 8 regulated by TCONS_00072128 significantly activated inflammation pathways including NLRP3 signaling and NF-κB signaling. Simultaneously, RIPK1 which has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of a wide range of human neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases, was also phosphorylated. The results of the present study suggested that exosome-derived lncRNA TCONS_00072128 could promote the progression of PMOP by regulating caspase 8. In addition, caspase 8 expression in BMSCs was possible to be a key regulator that balanced cell differentiation and inflammation activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis (OP) is the most common bone disease, which is listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the third major threat to life and health among the elderly. The etiology of OP is multifactorial, and its potential regulatory mechanism remains unclear. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are the non-coding RNAs that are over 200 bases in the chain length. Increasing evidence indicates that LncRNAs are the important regulators of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, and the occurrence of OP is greatly related to the dysregulation of the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation lineage. Meanwhile, LncRNAs affect the occurrence and development of OP by regulating OP-related biological processes. METHODS In the review, we summarized and analyzed the latest findings of LncRNAs in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and related biological processes of OP. Relevant studies published in the last five years were retrieved and selected from the PubMed database using the keywords of LncRNA and OP. RESULTS/CONCLUSION The present study aimed to examine the underlying mechanisms and biological roles of LncRNAs in OP, as well as osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Our results contributed to providing new clues for the epigenetic regulation of OP, making LncRNAs the new targets for OP therapy.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and degradation of the bone microstructure, which increases bone fragility and risk of fracture. However, the molecular mechanisms of osteoporosis remain unclear. The current study attempts to elucidate the role of exosomal long non-coding RNA in the pathology of osteoporosis. Peripheral blood was collected from persons with (OP) or without (NC) osteoporosis, and the serum exosomes were extracted using ultra centrifugation process. Total RNA of exosomes was isolated, and the lncRNAs profiling was done using RNA-Seq experiments. In silico analysis resulted in identification of 393 differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs in OP vs. NC, with 296 that were up-regulated and 97 were down-regulated. Bioinformatics analysis of potential target mRNAs of lncRNAs with cis-acting mechanism showed that mRNAs co-located with DE lncRNAs were highly enriched in osteoporosis-related pathways, including regulation of insulin secretion, activation of MAPK activity, cellular response to metal ions, fucosylation and proteolysis. Together these results suggest that lncRNAs of serum exosomes could play a significant role in development of osteoporosis and such information may be helpful in developing diagnostic markers and therapeutic modules for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by systemic microarchitecture impairment and bone loss, which ultimately lead to fragility fractures. This disease is most common in older people, especially in postmenopausal women. Cancellous bone is affected by osteoporosis earlier than cortical bone, and DNA methylation microarray analysis of the hip cancellous bone of patients with osteoarthritis revealed differential methylation. In view of the important role of cancellous bone in bone development, we examined genome‐wide DNA methylation profiles in the cancellous bone from patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis versus healthy postmenopausal women using Illumina 850K methylation microarray analysis. Under a threshold of P < 0.05, we obtained a total of 8973 differentially methylated genes, such as SOX6, ACE, SYK and TGFB3. Under a threshold of P < 0.05 and |△β| > 0.2, a total of 17 and 34 key differentially methylated genes were further identified at the promoter region and cytosine‐ phosphate‐ guanine (CpG) islands (such as PRKCZ, GNA11 and COL4A1), respectively. PLEKHA2, PLEKHB1, PNPLA7, SCD, MGST3 and TSNAX were the most common differentially methylated genes at both the promoter region and CpG islands. Five important signaling pathways, including the calcium signaling pathway, the cyclic guanosine phospho‐protein kinase G (cGMP‐PKG) signaling pathway, endocytosis, the Rap1 signaling pathway and the AMPK signaling pathway were identified. Our study may be suitable as a basis for exploring the mechanisms underlying osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
The altered expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been implicated in the development and human diseases. However, functional roles and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNA as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) in osteoporosis and their potential clinical implication for osteoporosis risk are largely unexplored. In this study, we performed integrated analysis for paired expression profiles and regulatory relationships of dysregulated lncRNAs, mRNAs, and miRNAs based on “ceRNA hypothesis,” and constructed an osteoporosis-related dysregulated miRNA-mediated lncRNA–mRNA ceRNA network (DysCeNet) composed of 105 nodes (including eight miRNAs, 24 mRNAs, and 73 lncRNAs) and 515 edges. Functional analysis suggested that the DysCeNet was involved in known osteoporosis or bone metabolism-related biological processes and pathways. Then, we performed random forest-based feature selection for 73 lncRNAs with ceRNA activity and identified 25 of 73 lncRNAs as potential diagnostic biomarkers. A random forest-based classifier composed of 25 lncRNA biomarkers (RF-25lncRNA) was developed for predicting osteoporosis risk. Performance evaluation with the leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) procedure showed that the RF-25lncRNA achieved a good performance in distinguishing high- and low-bone mineral density (BMD) subjects in different osteoporosis datasets. Our study for the first time revealed a global view of lncRNA-associated ceRNA regulation in osteoporosis and provided novel lncRNAs with ceRNA activity as candidate epigenetic diagnostic biomarkers for early detection of osteoporosis risk.
