Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative bone and joint disease that can lead to disability and severely affect the quality of life of patients. However, its etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. It is currently believed that articular cartilage lesions are an important marker of the onset and development of osteoarthritis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of multifunctional regulatory RNAs that are involved in various physiological functions. There are many differentially expressed lncRNAs between osteoarthritic and normal cartilage tissues that play multiple roles in the pathogenesis of OA. Here, we reviewed lncRNAs that have been reported to play regulatory roles in the pathological changes associated with osteoarthritic cartilage and their potential as biomarkers and a therapeutic target in OA to further elucidate the pathogenesis of OA and provide insights for the diagnosis and treatment of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disease, which is associated with progressive articular cartilage loss, synovial inflammation, subchondral sclerosis and meniscus injury. The molecular mechanism underlying OA pathogenesis is multifactorial. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-protein coding RNAs with length more than 200 nucleotides. They have various functions such as modulating transcription and protein activity, as well as forming endogenous small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNA (miRNA) sponges. Emerging evidence suggests that lncRNAs might be involved in the pathogenesis of OA which opens up a new avenue for the development of new biomarkers and therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current clinical and basic experiments related to lncRNAs and OA with a focus on the extensively studied H19, GAS5, MALAT1, XIST and HOTAIR. The potential translational value of these lncRNAs as therapeutic targets for OA is also discussed.

Abstract
LINC00461 is located in the intergenic region between the protein-coding genes MEF2C and TMEM161B. LINC00461 upregulation was associated with the risk of 13 tumors and was strongly associated with clinicopathologic features and poor prognosis in 11 tumors. LINC00461 is involved in resistance to four anticancer drugs, including sunitinib for renal cell carcinoma, cisplatin for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and rectal cancer, temozolomide for glioma, and docetaxel for breast cancer. LINC00461 can sponge 18 miRNAs to form a complex ceRNA network that regulates the expression of a large number of downstream genes. LINC00461 is involved in the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby promoting tumorigenesis. Notably, knockdown of LINC00461 in exosomes antagonizes tumor cell proliferation in multiple myeloma. This article summarizes the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic value of LINC00461 in various tumors, and systematically describes the ceRNA network and signaling pathways associated with LINC00461, providing potential directions for future LINC00461 research.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint disease that affects millions of older adults around the world. With increasing rates of incidence and prevalence worldwide, OA has become an enormous global socioeconomic burden on healthcare systems. Long non-coding ribonucleic acids (lncRNAs), essential functional molecules in many biological processes, are a group of non-coding RNAs that are greater than approximately 200 nucleotides in length. Fast-growing and recent developments in lncRNA research are captivating and represent a novel and promising field in understanding the complexity of OA pathogenesis. The involvement of lncRNAs in OA's pathological processes and their altered expressions in joint tissues, blood and synovial fluid make them attractive candidates for the diagnosis and treatment of OA. We focus on the recent advances in major regulator mechanisms of lncRNAs in the pathophysiology of OA and discuss potential diagnostic and therapeutic uses of lncRNAs for OA. We investigate how upregulation or downregulation of lncRNAs influences the pathogenesis of OA and how we can use lncRNAs to elucidate the molecular mechanism of OA. Furthermore, we evaluate how we can use lncRNAs as a diagnostic marker or therapeutic target for OA. Our study not only provides a comprehensive review of lncRNAs regarding OA's pathogenesis but also contributes to the elucidation of its molecular mechanisms and to the development of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE LINC00461 is a highly conserved intergenic non-protein coding RNA that was implicated in schizophrenia at the genome-wide level. We aim to explore potential mechanisms underlying the involvement of LINC00461 in schizophrenia. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association of LINC00461 rs410216 with schizophrenia, and evaluate the effects of the rs410216 on hippocampal volume and function using the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis. We utilized the GTEx dataset to profile the expression distribution of LINC00461 across different brain regions, and to investigate the potential impact of the risk SNPs on the expression of LINC00461 and other nearby genes. We compared blood expression levels of LINC00461 between schizophrenia patients and controls. RESULTS Here we show that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in regulatory elements spanning the LINC00461 region are significantly associated with schizophrenia (index SNP rs410216, Pmeta = 1.43E-05); subjects carrying the risk allele of rs410216 showed decreased hippocampal volume. However, no significant association of the rs410216 variant with hippocampal activation was observed. Moreover, the expression level of LINC00461 mRNA was significantly lower in first-onset schizophrenia patients, and the risk allele also predicts a lower transcriptional level of LINC00461 in the hippocampus. CONCLUSION Together, these convergent lines of evidence implicate inadequate LINC00461 expression in the hippocampus in the development of schizophrenia, providing novel insight into the genetic architecture and biological etiology of schizophrenia.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease that is pervasive in life, and the incidence and mortality of OA are increasing, causing many adverse effects on people's life. Therefore, it is very vital to identify new biomarkers and therapeutic targets in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of OA. ncRNA is a nonprotein-coding RNA that does not translate into proteins but participates in protein translation. At the RNA level, it can perform biological functions. Many studies have found that miRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA are closely related to the course of OA and play important regulatory roles in transcription, post-transcription, and post-translation, which can be used as biological targets for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of OA. In this review, we summarized and described the various roles of different types of miRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA in OA, the roles of different lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis in OA, and the possible prospects of these ncRNAs in clinical application.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OS) is the most frequent degenerative condition in the joints, disabling many adults. Several abnormalities in the articular cartilage, subchondral bone, synovial tissue, and meniscus have been detected in the course of OA. Destruction of articular cartilage, the formation of osteophytes, subchondral sclerosis, and hyperplasia of synovial tissue are hallmarks of OA. More recently, several investigations have underscored the regulatory roles of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in OA development. Different classes of non-coding RNAs, including long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been reported to affect the development of OA. The expression level of these transcripts has also been used as diagnostic tools in OA. In the present article, we aimed at reporting the role of these transcripts in this process. We need to give a specific angle on the pathology to provide meaningful thoughts on it.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal degenerative diseases (MSDDs) are pathological conditions that affect muscle, bone, cartilage, joint and connective tissue, leading to physical and functional impairments in patients, mainly consist of osteoarthritis (OA), intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are novel regulators of gene expression that play an important role in biological regulation, involving in chondrocyte proliferation and apoptosis, extracellular matrix degradation and peripheral blood mononuclear cell inflammation. Research on MSDD pathogenesis, especially on RA and AS, is still in its infancy and major knowledge gaps remain to be filled. The effects of lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis on MSDD progression help us to fully understand their contribution to the dynamic cellular processes, provide the potential OA, IDD, RA and AS therapeutic strategies. Further studies are needed to explore the mutual regulatory mechanisms between lncRNA/circRNA regulation and effective therapeutic interventions in the pathology of MSDD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis (OA), whereas the biological roles and mechanisms of the lncRNA THUMPD3-AS1 (THUMPD3 antisense RNA 1) in OA remain still unclear. This study described the role and molecular mechanism of lncRNA THUMPD3-AS1 in regulating OA biology. METHOD The knee normal and OA cartilage tissues from ten participants were sequenced to reveal the differentially expressed lncRNAs. The interleukin (IL)-1β-stimulated C28/I2 cell served as OA cells. Flow cytometry assays, Western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used for our experiments. RESULTS The results revealed that lncRNA THUMPD3-AS1 was downregulated in OA cartilage tissues and IL-1β-stimulated chondrocyte cell line. Overexpression of lncRNA THUMPD3-AS1 alleviated cell apoptosis and facilitated inflammatory responses, whereas knockdown had opposite effects. LncRNA THUMPD3-AS1 markedly increased the cyclin E2, cyclin-dependent kinase 4, B-cell lymphoma 2, tumor necrosis factor-α, nitric oxide, and IL-6 levels, and decreased the caspase-3 level. Furthermore, the target proteins of phosphorylation were identified as nuclear factor-κB p65 and mitogen-activated protein kinase p38, which could be indirectly suppressed by lncRNA THUMPD3-AS1 knockdown. CONCLUSION Our findings highlight the different effects of lncRNA THUMPD3-AS1 on cell apoptosis and inflammatory response, which extend the multiple functions of lncRNA epigenetics in OA biology.

Abstract
We investigated the functions of microRNAs in the therapeutic effects of noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) fruit juice on mouse models of acute gouty arthritis induced with monosodium urate (MSU). Compared with the model group (treated with MSU), mice in both the positive control group (treated with both MSU and colchicine) and noni fruit juice group (treated with MSU and noni fruit juice) showed a significantly decreased degree of paw swelling in 5 days, as well as the contents of two types of proinflammatory cytokines (i.e., NALP3 and TNF-α). Based on the next-generation sequencing technology, a total of 3896 microRNAs (234 known and 3662 novel) were identified in mice treated with noni fruit juice. A large amount of differentially expressed miRNAs were identified in the noni fruit juice group, suggesting the significant effects of noni fruit juice on the mice with acute gouty arthritis, while the different patterns of change in the numbers of both upregulated and downregulated miRNAs in both noni fruit juice and positive control groups indicated that the mice of acute gouty arthritis may be regulated by differential mechanisms between the treatments of noni fruit juice and colchicine. The target genes of microRNAs involved in the pathogenesis and pathology of acute gouty arthritis in mice were identified and further annotated by both Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. Our results revealed the therapeutic effects of noni fruit juice on acute gouty arthritis in mice with a group of microRNAs involved in the pharmacological mechanisms of noni fruit juice, providing scientific evidence to support both the agricultural cultivation and pharmacological significance of noni plants.

Cancer Biol Med 2021; 18:j.issn.2095-3941.2020.0209. [PMID: 33710813 PMCID: PMC8185866 DOI: 10.20892/j.issn.2095-3941.2020.0209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Several reports have proposed that lncRNAs, as potential biomarkers, participate in the progression and growth of malignant tumors. HIF1A-AS2 is a novel lncRNA and potential biomarker, involved in the genesis and development of carcinomas. However, the molecular mechanism of HIF1A-AS2 in renal carcinoma is unclear. METHODS The relative expression levels of HIF1A-AS2 and miR-30a-5p were detected using RT-qPCR in renal carcinoma tissues and cell lines. Using loss-of-function and overexpression, the biological effects of HIF1A-AS2 and miR-30a-5p in kidney carcinoma progression were characterized. Dual luciferase reporter gene analysis and Western blot were used to detect the potential mechanism of HIF1A-AS2 in renal carcinomas. RESULTS HIF1A-AS2 was upregulated in kidney carcinoma tissues when compared with para-carcinoma tissues (P < 0.05). In addition, tumor size, tumor node mestastasis stage and differentiation were identified as being closely associated with HIF1A-AS2 expression (P < 0.05). Knockdown or overexpression of HIF1A-AS2 either restrained or promoted the malignant phenotype and WNT/β-catenin signaling in renal carcinoma cells (P < 0.05). MiR-30a-5p was downregulated in renal cancers and partially reversed HIF1A-AS2 functions in malignant renal tumor cells. HIF1A-AS2 acted as a microRNA sponge that actively regulated the relative expression of SOX4 in sponging miR-30a-5p and subsequently increased the malignant phenotypes of renal carcinomas. HIF1A-AS2 showed a carcinogenic effect and miR-30a-5p acted as an antagonist of the anti-oncogene effects in the pathogenesis of renal carcinomas. CONCLUSIONS The HIF1A-AS2-miR-30a-5p-SOX4 axis was associated with the malignant progression and development of renal carcinoma. The relative expression of HIF1A-AS2 was negatively correlated with the expression of miR-30a-5p, and was closely correlated with SOX4 mRNA levels in renal cancers.

Fan H, Ding L, Yang Y. lncRNA SNHG16 promotes the occurrence of osteoarthritis by sponging miR‑373‑3p. Mol Med Rep 2020; 23:117. [PMID: 33300061 PMCID: PMC7751458 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2020.11756] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2019] [Accepted: 02/05/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common age‑related joint disorder, for which no effective disease‑modifying drugs are currently available. Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the occurrence of OA. lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) has been reported to regulate inflammation; however, the exact biological function of SNHG16 in OA and its underlying mechanism of action remain unclear. In this study, gene and protein expression levels were detected using reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting, respectively. Cell apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry and ELISA was performed to detect TNF‑α levels. The interactions between lncRNA SNHG16 and microRNA (miR)‑373‑3p were examined using the dual‑luciferase reporter assay. lncRNA SNHG16 was upregulated in OA tissue compared with normal joint tissue. The expression levels of collagen II were significantly reduced in OA tissue compared with normal tissue. Similarly, aggrecan expression levels were significantly reduced in IL‑1β‑treated CHON‑001 cells compared with the controls. In addition, the protein expression levels of MMP13 were significantly increased in OA tissues and IL‑1β‑treated CHON‑001 cells compared with the controls. SNHG16 knockdown significantly increased the expression levels of aggrecan, and decreased the expression levels of MMP13, cleaved caspase‑3 and p21 in IL‑1β‑treated CHON‑001 cells. In addition, IL‑1β induced CHON‑001 cell apoptosis, while SNHG16 knockdown decreased IL‑1β‑induced apoptosis. Furthermore, the luciferase activity assay suggested that SNHG16 negatively regulated miR‑373‑3p in OA. Finally, the results suggested that the proinflammatory effect of IL‑1β on CHON‑001 cells was significantly reduced by SNHG16 knockdown. In conclusion, lncRNA SNHG16 knockdown significantly limited the progression of OA by sponging miR‑373‑3p in vitro, which suggested that SNHG16 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for OA.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in many physiological and pathological processes, including osteoarthritis (OA). Recent studies have demonstrated that lncRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of OA by affecting various essential cellular features of chondrocytes, such as proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, and degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). However, there are only a limited number of studies in this area, indicating that the role of lncRNAs in OA may have been overlooked. The aim of this literature review is to summarize the versatile roles and molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs in chondrocytes involved in OA. At the end of this article, the function of the lncRNA HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) in chondrocytes in OA is highlighted. Because lncRNAs affect proliferation, apoptosis, inflammatory responses, and ECM degradation by chondrocytes in OA, they may serve as potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets for the diagnosis or treatment of OA. The specific role and related mechanisms of lncRNAs in OA warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) acts as the most common type of degenerative joint disease. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been identified to regulate the apoptosis and proliferation of chondrocyte. However, the deepgoing mechanism involved in the regulation is still unclear. This research aims to investigate the role and molecular mechanism by which lncRNA LINC00511 regulates the OA biology. Functionally, the functional experiments found that LINC00511 expression was upregulated in the IL-1β-stimulated chondrocyte (ATDC5). Knockdown of LINC00511 facilitated proliferation, and repressed the apoptosis and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis of chondrocyte. Mechanically, LINC00511 functioned as sponge of miR-150-5p and then interacted with the 3'-UTR of transcription factor (SP1). In turn, transcription factor SP1 bound with the promoter region of LINC00511 and thus upregulated LINC00511 expression. In conclusion, our findings highlight the function and prognostic value of LINC00511/miR-150-5p/SP1 feedback loop in OA and extend the importance of lncRNA epigenetics in OA biology.
