MiR-143-3p regulates chondrogenic differentiation of synovium derived mesenchymal stem cells under mechanical stress through the BMPR2-Smad signalling pathway by targeting BMPR2. J Oral Rehabil 2024; 51:1507-1520. [PMID: 38717032 DOI: 10.1111/joor.13726] [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: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from the synovium, known as synovium mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs), exhibit significant potential for articular cartilage regeneration owing to their capacity for chondrogenic differentiation. However, the microRNAs (miRNAs) governing this process and the associated mechanisms remain unclear. While mechanical stress positively influences chondrogenesis in MSCs, the miRNA-mediated response of SMSCs to mechanical stimuli is not well understood. OBJECTIVE This study explores the miRNA-driven mechano-transduction in SMSCs chondrogenesis under mechanical stress. METHODS The surface phenotype of SMSCs was analysed by flow cytometry. Chondrogenesis capacities of SMSCs were examined by Alcian blue staining. High throughput sequencing was used to screen mechano-sensitive miRNAs of SMSCs. The RNA expression level of COL2A1, ACAN, SOX9, BMPR2 and miR-143-3p of SMSCs were tested by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The interaction between miR-143-3p and TLR4 was confirmed by luciferase reporter assays. The protein expression levels of related genes were assessed by western blot. RESULTS High-throughput sequencing revealed a notable reduction in miR-143-3p levels in mechanically stressed SMSCs. Gain- or loss-of-function strategies introduced by lentivirus demonstrated that miR-143-3p overexpression hindered chondrogenic differentiation, whereas its knockdown promoted this process. Bioinformatics scrutiny and luciferase reporter assays pinpointed a potential binding site for miR-143-3p within the 3'-UTR of bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2). MiR-143-3p overexpression decreased BMPR2 expression and phosphorylated Smad1, 5 and 8 levels, while its inhibition activated BMPR2-Smad pathway. CONCLUSION This study elucidated that miR-143-3p negatively regulates SMSCs chondrogenic differentiation through the BMPR2-Smad pathway under mechanical tensile stress. The direct targeting of BMPR2 by miR-143-3p established a novel dimension to our understanding of mechano-transduction mechanism during SMSC chondrogenesis. This understanding is crucial for advancing strategies in articular cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, a prevalent bone disorder influenced by genetic and environmental elements, significantly increases the likelihood of fractures and bone weakness, greatly affecting the lives of those afflicted. Yet, the exact epigenetic processes behind the onset of osteoporosis are still unclear. Growing research indicates that epigenetic changes could act as vital mediators that connect genetic tendencies and environmental influences, thereby increasing the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Within these epigenetic factors, certain types of RNA, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been recognized as key regulatory elements. These RNA types wield significant influence on gene expression through epigenetic regulation, directing various biological functions essential to bone metabolism. This extensive review compiles current research uncovering the complex ways in which miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs are involved in the development of osteoporosis, especially in osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Gaining a more profound understanding of the roles these three RNA classes play in osteoporosis could reveal new diagnostic methods and treatment approaches for this incapacitating condition. In conclusion, this review delves into the complex domain of epigenetic regulation via non-coding RNA in osteoporosis. It sheds light on the complex interactions and mechanisms involving miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs within osteoblasts and osteoclasts, offering an in-depth understanding of the less explored aspects of osteoporosis pathogenesis. These insights not only reveal the complexity of the disease but also offer significant potential for developing new diagnostic methods and targeted treatments. Therefore, this review marks a crucial step in deciphering the elusive complexities of osteoporosis, leading towards improved patient care and enhanced quality of life.

Abstract
The ability to differentiate into cells of different lineages, such as bone cells, is the principal value of adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can be used with the final aim of regenerating damaged tissue. Due to its potential use and importance in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, several questions have been raised regarding the molecular mechanisms of MSC differentiation. As one of the crucial mediators in organism development, the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily directs MSCs' commitment to selecting differentiation pathways. This review aims to give an overview of the current knowledge on the mechanisms of the TGF-β superfamily in MSCs bone differentiation, with additional insight into the mutual regulation of microRNAs and TGF-β in osteogenesis.

Abstract
It is now widely recognized that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess the capacity to differentiate into a wide array of cell types. Numerous studies have identified the role of lncRNA in the regulation of MSC differentiation. It is important to elucidate the role and interplay of microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the regulation of signalling pathways that govern MSC function. Furthermore, miRNAs and lncRNAs are important clinical for innovative strategies aimed at addressing a wide spectrum of existing and emerging disease. Hence it is important to consider their impact on MSC function and differentiation. Examining the data available in public databases, we have collected the literature containing the latest discoveries pertaining to human stem cells and their potential in both fundamental research and clinical applications. Furthermore, we have compiled completed clinical studies that revolve around the application of MSCs, shedding light on the opportunities presented by harnessing the regulatory potential of miRNAs and lncRNAs. This exploration of the therapeutic possibilities offered by miRNAs and lncRNAs within MSCs unveils exciting prospects for the development of precision therapies and personalized treatment approaches. Ultimately, these advancements promise to augment the efficacy of regenerative strategies and produce positive outcomes for patients. As research in this field continues to evolve, it is imperative to explore and exploit the vast potential of miRNAs and lncRNAs as therapeutic agents. The findings provide a solid basis for ongoing investigations, fuelling the quest to fully unlock the regenerative potential of MSCs.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of small, single-stranded, and non-protein coding RNAs about 19 to 22 nucleotides in length, that have been reported to have important roles in the control of bone development. MiRNAs have a strong influence on osteoblast differentiation through stages of lineage commitment and maturation, as well as via controlling the activities of osteogenic signal transduction pathways. Generally, miRNAs may modulate cell stemness, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis by binding the 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) of the target genes, which then can subsequently undergo messenger RNA (mRNA) degradation or protein translational repression. MiRNAs manage the gene expression in osteogenic differentiation by regulating multiple signalling cascades and essential transcription factors, including the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β)/bone morphogenic protein (BMP), Wingless/Int-1(Wnt)/β-catenin, Notch, and Hedgehog signalling pathways; the Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2); and osterix (Osx). This shows that miRNAs are essential in regulating diverse osteoblast cell functions. TGF-βs and BMPs transduce signals and exert diverse functions in osteoblastogenesis, skeletal development and bone formation, bone homeostasis, and diseases. Herein, we highlighted the current state of in vitro and in vivo research describing miRNA regulation on the canonical TGF-β/BMP signalling, their effects on osteoblast linage, and understand their mechanism of action for the development of possible therapeutics. In this review, particular attention and comprehensive database searches are focused on related works published between the years 2000 to 2022, using the resources from PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Abstract
Autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are more easily available and frequently used for bone regeneration in clinics. Osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs involves complex regulatory networks affecting bone formation phenomena. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) refer to RNAs that do not encode proteins, mainly including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, piwi-interacting RNAs, transfer RNA-derived small RNAs, etc. Recent in vitro and in vivo studies had revealed the regulatory role of ncRNAs in osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. NcRNAs had both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. During the physiological condition, osteo-stimulatory ncRNAs are upregulated and osteo-inhibitory ncRNAs are downregulated. The opposite effects might occur during bone degenerative disease conditions. Intracellular ncRNAs and ncRNAs from neighboring cells delivered via exosomes participate in the regulatory process of osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the regulatory role of ncRNAs on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs during physiological and pathological conditions. We also discuss the prospects of the application of modulation of ncRNAs function in BMSCs to promote bone tissue regeneration in clinics.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have multilineage differentiation potential and especially show a great foreground in bone regeneration engineering. The mechanism of osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs needs to be explored exactly. As a kind of endogenous and non-coding small RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in many biological processes including osteogenic differentiation. However, the mechanism of miR-153-3p in osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs is still unknown. Core-binding factors-beta (CBFβ) is a non-DNA-binding factor that combines with the runt-related transcription factor family transcription factors to mediate their DNA-binding affinities, and plays a critical role in regulating osteogenic differentiation. In this study, we explored the mechanisms of miR-153-3p and CBFβ in DPSC osteogenesis. The expression of miR-153-3p and CBFβ was tested under the osteogenic condition, and the influence led by changing the expression of miR-153-3p or CBFβ had also been detected. A luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-153-3p directly targeted to CBFβ. The osteogenic markers, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), were tested in protein level or mRNA level. ALP and Alizarin red staining were used to detect the osteoblast activity and mineral deposition. In osteogenic condition, the expressions of CBFβ and osteogenic markers were upregulated, whereas that of miR-153-3p was downregulated. miR-153-3p negatively regulated the osteogenic differentiation, and overexpression of CBFβ could offset the negative effect of miR-153-3p. Our findings provided a novel strategy for DPSC application in treatment of bone deficiencies and facilitated bone regeneration.

Abstract
Fracture healing is a complex, dynamic process that is directed by cellular communication and requires multiple cell types, such as osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and immune cells. Physiological fracture healing can be divided into several phases that consist of different processes, such as angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and bone resorption/remodelling. This is needed to guarantee proper bone regeneration after fracture. Communication and molecular regulation between different cell types and within cells is therefore key in successfully orchestrating these processes to ensure adequate bone healing. Among others, microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in cellular communication. microRNAs are small, non-coding RNA molecules of ~22 nucleotides long that can greatly influence gene expression by post-transcriptional regulation. Over the course of the past decade, more insights have been gained in the field of miRNAs and their role in cellular signalling in both inter- and intracellular pathways. The interplay between miRNAs and their mRNA targets, and the effect thereof on different processes and aspects within fracture healing, have shown to be interesting research topics with possible future diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Considering bone regeneration, research moreover focusses on specific microRNAs and their involvement in individual pathways. However, it is required to combine these data to gain more understanding on the effects of miRNAs in the dynamic process of fracture healing, and to enhance their translational application in research, as well as in the clinic. Therefore, this review aims to provide an integrative overview on miRNAs in fracture healing, related to several key aspects in the fracture healing cascade. A special focus will be put on hypoxia, angiogenesis, bone resorption, osteoclastogenesis, mineralization, osteogenesis, osteoblastogenesis, osteocytogenesis, and chondrogenesis.

Abstract
Osteoarticular diseases (OD), such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are chronic autoimmune/inflammatory and age-related diseases that affect the joints and other organs for which the current therapies are not effective. Cell therapy using mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) is an alternative treatment due to their immunomodulatory and tissue differentiation capacity. Several experimental studies in numerous diseases have demonstrated the MSCs’ therapeutic effects. However, MSCs have shown heterogeneity, instability of stemness and differentiation capacities, limited homing ability, and various adverse responses such as abnormal differentiation and tumor formation. Recently, acellular therapy based on MSC secreted factors has raised the attention of several studies. It has been shown that molecules embedded in extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from MSCs, particularly those from the small fraction enriched in exosomes (sEVs), effectively mimic their impact in target cells. The biological effects of sEVs critically depend on their cargo, where sEVs-embedded microRNAs (miRNAs) are particularly relevant due to their crucial role in gene expression regulation. Therefore, in this review, we will focus on the effect of sEVs derived from MSCs and their miRNA cargo on target cells associated with the pathology of RA and OA and their potential therapeutic impact.

Abstract
In bone tissue engineering, tailored biomaterials mimicking mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) niche could regulate cell behavior and fate decision. The mechanisms, however, remain obscure. Recently, increasing evidence has shown that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are critical modulators of the mechano-induced MSCs’ responses. Mechanosensitive ncRNAs could convert various physical forces into biochemical signals, and orchestrate signaling networks that regulate the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs in their unique microenvironment. In this review, we focus on the mechanosensitive ncRNAs which could interpret mechanical stimuli during the osteogenesis of MSCs, summarize the signaling pathway networks by which these ncRNAs drive MSCs fate, and point out the limitations and the areas waiting for further exploration.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic tissue constantly responding to environmental changes such as nutritional and mechanical stress. Bone homeostasis in adult life is maintained through bone remodeling, a controlled and balanced process between bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-forming osteoblasts. Osteoblasts secrete matrix, with some being buried within the newly formed bone, and differentiate to osteocytes. During embryogenesis, bones are formed through intramembraneous or endochondral ossification. The former involves a direct differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor to osteoblasts, and the latter is through a cartilage template that is subsequently converted to bone. Advances in lineage tracing, cell sorting, and single-cell transcriptome studies have enabled new discoveries of gene regulation, and new populations of skeletal stem cells in multiple niches, including the cartilage growth plate, chondro-osseous junction, bone, and bone marrow, in embryonic development and postnatal life. Osteoblast differentiation is regulated by a master transcription factor RUNX2 and other factors such as OSX/SP7 and ATF4. Developmental and environmental cues affect the transcriptional activities of osteoblasts from lineage commitment to differentiation at multiple levels, fine-tuned with the involvement of co-factors, microRNAs, epigenetics, systemic factors, circadian rhythm, and the microenvironments. In this review, we will discuss these topics in relation to transcriptional controls in osteogenesis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been identified in many adult tissues. MSCs can regenerate through cell division or differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes. As a result, MSCs have become an important source of cells in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine for bone tissue and cartilage. Several epigenetic factors are believed to play a role in MSCs differentiation. Among these, microRNA (miRNA) regulation is involved in the fine modulation of gene expression during osteogenic/chondrogenic differentiation. It has been reported that miRNAs are involved in bone homeostasis by modulating osteoblast gene expression. In addition, countless evidence has demonstrated that miRNAs dysregulation is involved in the development of osteoporosis and bone fractures. The deregulation of miRNAs expression has also been associated with several malignancies including bone cancer. In this context, bone-associated circulating miRNAs may be useful biomarkers for determining the predisposition, onset and development of osteoporosis, as well as in clinical applications to improve the diagnosis, follow-up and treatment of cancer and metastases. Overall, this review will provide an overview of how miRNAs activities participate in osteogenic/chondrogenic differentiation, while addressing the role of miRNA regulatory effects on target genes. Finally, the role of miRNAs in pathologies and therapies will be presented.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been identified in many adult tissues and they have been closely studied in recent years, especially in view of their potential use for treating diseases and damaged tissues and organs. MSCs are capable of self-replication and differentiation into osteoblasts and are considered an important source of cells in tissue engineering for bone regeneration. Several epigenetic factors are believed to play a role in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, including microRNAs (miRNAs). MiRNAs are small, single-stranded, non-coding RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides that are able to regulate cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis by binding the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of target mRNAs, which can be subsequently degraded or translationally silenced. MiRNAs control gene expression in osteogenic differentiation by regulating two crucial signaling cascades in osteogenesis: the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β)/bone morphogenic protein (BMP) and the Wingless/Int-1(Wnt)/β-catenin signaling pathways. This review provides an overview of the miRNAs involved in osteogenic differentiation and how these miRNAs could regulate the expression of target genes.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease characterized by decreased bone mineral density and the destruction of bone microstructure, which can lead to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture. In recent years, with the deepening of the research on the pathological mechanism of osteoporosis, the research on epigenetics has made significant progress. Epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression levels that are not caused by changes in gene sequences, mainly including DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNAs (lncRNA, microRNA, and circRNA). Epigenetics play mainly a post-transcriptional regulatory role and have important functions in the biological signal regulatory network. Studies have shown that epigenetic mechanisms are closely related to osteogenic differentiation, osteogenesis, bone remodeling and other bone metabolism-related processes. Abnormal epigenetic regulation can lead to a series of bone metabolism-related diseases, such as osteoporosis. Considering the important role of epigenetic mechanisms in the regulation of bone metabolism, we mainly review the research progress on epigenetic mechanisms (DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNAs) in the osteogenic differentiation and the pathogenesis of osteoporosis to provide a new direction for the treatment of bone metabolism-related diseases.

Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis (AP) is a life-threatening disease with up to 30% mortality. Therefore, prevention of AP aggravation and promotion of pancreatic regeneration are critical during the course and treatment of AP. Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is an established aggravating factor for AP that hinders pancreatic regeneration; however, its exact mechanism remains unclear. Using miRNA sequencing and further verification, we found that miRNA-153 (miR-153) was upregulated in the pancreas of HTG animal models and in the plasma of patients with HTG-AP. Increased miR-153 aggravated HTG-AP and delayed pancreatic repair via targeting TRAF3. Furthermore, miR-153 was transcriptionally suppressed by sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor 1c (SREBP1c), which was suppressed by lipoprotein lipase malfunction-induced HTG. Overexpressing SREBP1c suppressed miR-153 expression, alleviated the severity of AP, and facilitated tissue regeneration in vivo. Finally, therapeutic administration of insulin also protected against HTG-AP via upregulating SREBP1c. Collectively, our results not only provide evidence that HTG leads to the development of more severe AP and hinders pancreatic regeneration via inducing persistent dysregulation of SREBP1c/miR-153 signaling, but also demonstrate that SREBP1c activators, including insulin, might be used to treat HTG-AP in patients.

[PMID: 33368310 DOI: 10.1111/jre.12830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2020] [Revised: 11/23/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) have potential for osteogenic differentiation and show a great foreground in treating bone diseases. Histone three lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylase lysine demethylase 6A (KDM6A) is a critical epigenetic modifier and plays an important role in regulating osteogenic differentiation. Multiple microRNAs have been found to play important roles in osteogenesis. The aim of this study was to explore the mechanisms underlying the roles of miR-153-3p and KDM6A in PDLSC osteogenesis. METHODS The levels of the osteogenic markers alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and osteopontin (OPN) were measured by western blotting. Osteoblast activity and mineral deposition were detected by ALP and Alizarin red S (ARS) staining. The levels of miR-153-3p and KDM6A were measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). A luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm the interaction between KDM6A and miR-153-3p. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays were performed to identify the roles of miR-153-3p and KDM6A in the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. RESULTS In osteogenic PDLSCs, the expression of KDM6A, ALP, Runx2, and OPN was upregulated, whereas that of miR-153-3p was downregulated. miR-153-3p downregulation or KDM6A overexpression promoted the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs, as demonstrated by increases in ALP activity, matrix mineralization, and ALP, Runx2, and OPN expression. KDM6A was confirmed to be a target of miR-153-3p, and KDM6A overexpression reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-153-3p mimic on PDLSC osteogenesis. KDM6A promoted ALP, Runx2, and OPN expression through the demethylation of H3K27me3 on the promoter regions of these genes. CONCLUSION miR-153-3p inhibited PDLSC osteogenesis by targeting KDM6A and inhibiting ALP, Runx2, and OPN transcription. These findings provide latent hope for PDLSCs application in periodontal therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone homeostasis is a tightly orchestrated process maintained by osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and a disruption of their steady-state equilibrium can lead to the occurrence of osteoporosis (OP). METHODS We investigated the differential expression of micro (mi)RNAs in the bone tissues of a postmenopausal osteoporosis rat model induced by ovariectomy (OVX). Real-time PCR was used to verify the differentially expressed miRNAs in bone samples from OP patients and controls. The specific targets of two differentially expressed miRNAs in osteogenic or osteoclast differentiation were determined by bioinformatic prediction, and mRNA and protein detection. RESULTS miR-708-5p and miR-708-3p were highly expressed in the bone tissue of OVX rats and OP patients. miR-708-5p negatively regulated osteoblast differentiation in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by targeting SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2, while miR-708-3p positively regulated osteoclast differentiation in bone marrow monocytes by targeting cerebellar degeneration associated protein 1 antisense RNA. miR-708-5p and miR-708-3p were shown to originate from the same precursor miRNA and to have a synergistic effect on the development of osteoporosis with different temporal and spatial patterns. CONCLUSION Our findings provide a referential theoretical basis and targets for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Emerging evidence is revealing that microRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in mechanosensing for regulating osteogenesis. However, no mechanoresponsive miRNAs have been identified in human bone specimens. Methods: Bedridden and aged patients, hindlimb unloaded and aged mice, and Random Positioning Machine and primary aged osteoblasts were adopted to simulate mechanical unloading conditions at the human, animal and cellular levels, respectively. Treadmill exercise and Flexcell cyclic mechanical stretching were used to simulate mechanical loading in vivo and in vitro, respectively. Results: Here, we found increased miR-138-5p levels with a lower degree of bone formation in bone specimens from bedridden and aged patients. Loss- and gain-of-function studies showed that miR-138-5p directly targeted microtubule actin crosslinking factor 1 (MACF1) to inhibit osteoblast differentiation under different mechanical conditions. Regarding translational medicine, bone-targeted inhibition of miR-138-5p attenuated the decrease in the mechanical bone anabolic response in hindlimb unloaded mice. Moreover, bone-targeted inhibition of miR-138-5p sensitized the bone anabolic response to mechanical loading in both miR-138-5p transgenic mice and aged mice to promote bone formation. Conclusion: These data suggest that miR-138-5p as a mechanoresponsive miRNA accounts for the mechanosensitivity of the bone anabolic response and that inhibition of miR-138-5p in osteoblasts may be a novel bone anabolic sensitization strategy for ameliorating disuse or senile osteoporosis.

Abstract
It has been widely reported that exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a protective effect on myocardial infarction (MI). However, the specific molecules which play a damaging role in MSCs shuttled miRNAs are much less explored. MiRNA-153-3p (miR-153-3p) is a vital miRNA which has been proved to modulate cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, peritoneal fibrosis and aortic calcification. Here, we aim to study the effect and mechanism of miR-153-3p in MSC-derived exosomes on hypoxia-induced myocardial and microvascular damage. The exosomes of MSCs were isolated and identified, and the MSCs-exosomes with low expression of miR-153-3p (exo-miR-153-3p-) were constructed to interfere with the endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes in the oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model. The viability, apoptosis, angiogenesis of endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes were determined. Additionally, ANGPT1/VEGF/VEGFR2/PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway was detected by ELISA and/or western blot. The results illustrated that exo-miR-153-3p- significantly reduced the apoptosis of endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes and promoted their viability. Meanwhile, exo-miR-153-3p- can promote the angiogenesis of endothelial cells. Mechanistically, miR-153-3p regulates the VEGF/VEGFR2/PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathways by targeting ANGPT1. Intervention with VEGFR2 inhibitor (SU1498, 1 μM) remarkably reversed the protective effect of exo-miR-153-3p- in vascular endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes treated by OGD. Collectively, MSCs-derived exosomes with low-expressed miR-153-3p notably promotes the activation of ANGPT1 and the VEGF/VEGFR2 /PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathways, thereby preventing the damages endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes against hypoxia.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disease, influenced by genetic and environmental factors, that increases bone fragility and fracture risk and, therefore, has a serious adverse effect on the quality of life of patients. However, epigenetic mechanisms involved in the development of osteoporosis remain unclear. There is accumulating evidence that epigenetic modifications may represent mechanisms underlying the links of genetic and environmental factors with increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture. Some RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been shown to be epigenetic regulators with significant involvement in the control of gene expression, affecting multiple biological processes, including bone metabolism. This review summarizes the results of recent studies on the mechanisms of miRNA-, lncRNA-, and circRNA-mediated osteoporosis associated with osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Deeper insights into the roles of these three classes of RNA in osteoporosis could provide unique opportunities for developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to this disease.

Abstract
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. There is increasing evidence that some miRNAs are involved in the pathology of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications. We hypothesized that the functions of certain miRNAs and the changes in their patterns of expression may contribute to the pathogenesis of impaired fractures due to DM. Methods In this study, 108 male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into DM and control groups. DM rats were created by a single intravenous injection of streptozotocin. Closed transverse femoral shaft fractures were created in both groups. On post-fracture days 5, 7, 11, 14, 21, and 28, miRNA was extracted from the newly generated tissue at the fracture site. Microarray analysis was conducted with miRNA samples from each group on post-fracture days 5 and 11. The microarray findings were validated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis at each time point. Results Microarray analysis revealed that, on days 5 and 11, 368 and 207 miRNAs, respectively, were upregulated in the DM group, compared with the control group. The top four miRNAs on day 5 were miR-339-3p, miR451-5p, miR-532-5p, and miR-551b-3p. The top four miRNAs on day 11 were miR-221-3p, miR376a-3p, miR-379-3p, and miR-379-5p. Among these miRNAs, miR-221-3p, miR-339-3p, miR-376a-3p, miR-379-5p, and miR-451-5p were validated by real-time PCR analysis. Furthermore, PCR analysis revealed that these five miRNAs were differentially expressed with dynamic expression patterns during fracture healing in the DM group, compared with the control group. Conclusions Our findings will aid in understanding the pathology of impaired fracture healing in DM and may support the development of molecular therapies using miRNAs for the treatment of impaired fracture healing in patients with DM.

Bone marrow niche crosses paths with BMPs: a road to protection and persistence in CML. Biochem Soc Trans 2020; 47:1307-1325.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a paradigm of precision medicine, being one of the first cancers to be treated with targeted therapy. This has revolutionised CML therapy and patient outcome, with high survival rates. However, this now means an ever-increasing number of patients are living with the disease on life-long tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, with most patients anticipated to have near normal life expectancy. Unfortunately, in a significant number of patients, TKIs are not curative. This low-level disease persistence suggests that despite a molecularly targeted therapeutic approach, there are BCR-ABL1-independent mechanisms exploited to sustain the survival of a small cell population of leukaemic stem cells (LSCs). In CML, LSCs display many features akin to haemopoietic stem cells, namely quiescence, self-renewal and the ability to produce mature progeny, this all occurs through intrinsic and extrinsic signals within the specialised microenvironment of the bone marrow (BM) niche. One important avenue of investigation in CML is how the disease highjacks the BM, thereby remodelling this microenvironment to create a niche, which enables LSC persistence and resistance to TKI treatment. In this review, we explore how changes in growth factor levels, in particular, the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, impact on cell behaviour, extracellular matrix deposition and bone remodelling in CML. We also discuss the challenges in targeting LSCs and the potential of dual targeting using combination therapies against BMP receptors and BCR-ABL1.

Abstract
Background miR-100 has been reported to closely associate with gastric cancer (GC) initiation and progression. However, the underlying mechanism of miR-100-3p in GC is still largely unclear. In this study, we intend to study how miR-100-3p regulates GC malignancy. Methods The expression levels of miR-100-3p in vitro (GES-1 and GC cell lines) and in vivo (cancerous and normal gastric tissues) were examined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). MTT and PE/Annexin V analyses were responsible for measurement of the effects of miR-100-3p on GC cell proliferation and apoptosis. Transwell assay with or without matrigel was used to examine the capacity of migration and invasion in GC cells. The interaction of miR-100-3p with bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) was confirmed through transcriptomics analysis and luciferase reporter assay. qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses were applied to determine the expression of ERK/AKT and Bax/Bcl2/Caspase3, which were responsible for the dysfunction of miR-100-3p. Results miR-100-3p was down-regulated in GC cell lines and cancerous tissues, and was negatively correlated with BMPR2. Loss of miR-100-3p promoted tumor growth and BMPR2 expression. Consistently, the effects of miR-100-3p inhibition on GC cells were partially neutralized by knockdown of BMPR2. Over-expression of miR-100-3p simultaneously inhibited tumor growth and down-regulated BMPR2 expression. Consistently, over-expression of BMPR2 partially neutralized the effects of miR-100-3p over-expression. Further study demonstrated that BMPR2 mediated the effects downstream of miR-100-3p, which might indirectly regulate ERK/AKT and Bax/Bcl2/Caspase3 signaling pathways. Conclusion miR-100-3p acted as a tumor-suppressor miRNA that down-regulated BMPR2, which consequently inhibited the ERK/AKT signaling and activated Bax/Bcl2/Caspase3 signaling. This finding provided novel insights into GC and could contribute to identify a new diagnostic and therapeutic target.

Abstract
Tumor Necrosis Factor α (TNF-α), a multifunctional pro-inflammatory cytokine, is produced by macrophages/monocytes during acute inflammation, and plays a critical role in orchestrating the cytokine cascade in various inflammatory diseases. Previous studies demonstrated that TNF-α induces inflammatory responses in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation, leading to unsatisfactory effects and limit the clinical use of BMSCs. MicroRNAs are reported to involve in inflammation by regulating the expression of their targets in inflammatory response pathway. However, whether microRNAs mediate TNF-α-induced inflammatory responses in BMSCs remains elusive. Here, we found that TNF-α treatment induced an inflammatory response by increasing the levels of key inflammatory mediators, including IL-6, IL-1β, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) in BMSCs. Moreover, real-time PCR result showed dramatically up-regulation of miR-128-3p after exposure to TNF-α. Interestingly, miR-128-3p over-expression exacerbated the TNF-α-induced inflammatory response, while suppression of miR-128-3p effectively eliminated the inflammatory response in BMSCs. Bioinformatic analysis identified sirtuin 1 is a direct target of miR-128-3p. Up-regulation of sirtuin 1 induced by resveratrol also diminished the TNF-α-induced inflammatory response in BMSCs. Altogether, our results indicated that miR-128-3p targets sirtuin 1 to mediate the TNF-α-induced inflammatory response in BMSCs, which may provide new strategies to protect against inflammatory-dependent impairments in BMSCs.

Abstract
Mechanical cues from extracellular matrix exert strong effects on stem cell differentiation. This study finds that a signaling axis consisting of PINCH-1, Smurf1, and BMPR2 senses mechanical signals from extracellular matrix and regulates BMP signaling and mesenchymal stem cell differentiation. Mechano-environment plays multiple critical roles in the control of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) fate decision, but the underlying signaling mechanisms remain undefined. We report here a signaling axis consisting of PINCH-1, SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (Smurf1), and bone morphogenetic protein type 2 receptor (BMPR2) that links mechano-environment to MSC fate decision. PINCH-1 interacts with Smurf1, which inhibits the latter from interacting with BMPR2 and consequently suppresses BMPR2 degradation, resulting in augmented BMP signaling and MSC osteogenic differentiation (OD). Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffening increases PINCH-1 level and consequently activates this signaling axis. Depletion of PINCH-1 blocks stiff ECM-induced BMP signaling and OD, whereas overexpression of PINCH-1 overrides signals from soft ECM and promotes OD. Finally, perturbation of either Smurf1 or BMPR2 expression is sufficient to block the effects of PINCH-1 on BMP signaling and MSC fate decision. Our findings delineate a key signaling mechanism through which mechano-environment controls BMPR2 level and MSC fate decision.

Abstract
Bone is one of the most dynamic organs in the body that continuously undergoes remodeling through bone formation and resorption. A cascade of molecules and pathways results in the osteoblast differentiation that is attributed to osteogenesis, or bone formation. The process of osteogenesis is achieved through participation of the Wnt pathway, FGFs, BMPs/TGF-β, and transcription factors such as Runx2 and Osx. The activity and function of the master transcription factor, Runx2, is of utmost significance as it can induce the function of osteoblast differentiation markers. A number of microRNAs [miRNAs] have been recently identified in the regulation of Runx2 expression/activity, thus affecting the process of osteogenesis. miRNAs that target Runx2 corepressors favor osteogenesis, while miRNAs that target Runx2 coactivators inhibit osteogenesis. In this review, we focus on the regulation of Runx2 by miRNAs in osteoblast differentiation and their potential for treating bone and bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Osteogenic differentiation is a controlled developmental process in which external and internal factors including cytokines, growth factors, transcription factors (TFs), signaling pathways and microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles. Various stimulatory and inhibitory TFs contribute to osteogenic differentiation and are responsible for bone development. In addition, cross-talk between several complex signaling pathways regulates the osteogenic differentiation of some stem cells. Although much is known about regulatory genes and signaling pathways in osteogenesis, the role of miRNAs in osteogenic differentiation still needs to be explored. miRNAs are small, approximately 22 nucleotides, single-stranded nonprotein coding RNAs which are abundant in many mammalian cell types. They paly significant regulated roles in various biological processes and serve as promising biomarkers for disease states. Recently, emerging evidence have shown that miRNAs are the key regulators of osteogenesis of stem cells. They may endogenously regulate osteogenic differentiation of stem cells through direct targeting of positive or negative directors of osteogenesis and depending on the target result in the promotion or inhibition of osteogenic differentiation. This review aims to provide a general overview of miRNAs participating in osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and explain their regulatory effect based on the genes targeted with these miRNAs.

Genome-wide microRNA screening reveals miR-582-5p as a mesenchymal stem cell-specific microRNA in subchondral bone of the human knee joint. J Cell Physiol 2019; 234:21877-21888.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) may be pathologically involved in osteoarthritis (OA). Subchondral bone (SCB) sclerosis is accounted for the knee osteoarthritis (KOA) development and progression. In this study, we aimed to screen the miRNA biomarkers of KOA and investigated whether these miRNAs regulate the differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and thus contributing to SCB. We identified 48 miRNAs in the blood samples in KOA patients (n = 5) through microarray expression profiling detection. After validation with larger sample number, we confirmed hsa-miR-582-5p and hsa-miR-424-5p were associated with the pathology of SCB sclerosis. Target genes prediction and pathway analysis were implemented with online databases, indicating these two candidate miRNAs were closely related to the pathways of pluripotency of stem cells and pathology of OA. Surprisingly, mmu-miR-582-5p (homology of hsa-miR-582-5p) was downregulated in osteogenic differentiation and upregulated in adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor C3H10T1/2 cells, whereas mmu-mir-322-5p (homology of hsa-miR-424-5p) showed no change through the in vitro study. Supplementing mmu-miR-582-5p mimics blocked osteogenic and induced adipogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells, whereas silencing of the endogenous mmu-miR-582-5p enhanced osteogenic and repressed adipogenic differentiation. Further mechanism studies showed that mmu-miR-582-5p was directly targeted to Runx2. Mutation of putative mmu-miR-582-5p binding sites in Runx2 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) could abolish the response of the 3'UTR-luciferase construct to mmu-miR-582-5p supplementation. Generally speaking, our data suggest that miR-582-5p is an important biomarker of KOA and is able to regulate osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of MSCs via targeting Runx2. The study also suggests that miR-582-5p may play a crucial role in SCB sclerosis of human KOA.

Front Genet 2018; 9:543.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) is a type of stem cell that is capable of differentiating into osteoblasts and adipocytes. The pathological perturbation of MSC fate determination is well demonstrated by the replacement of bone tissues with fat in those with osteoporosis and osteopenia. Cell fate determination can be regulated by epigenetic and post-transcriptional mechanisms. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous non-coding RNA molecules that mediates the post-transcriptional regulation of genes expression. We hypothesized that miRNA specified to PPARγ, a major transcription factor of adipogenesis, is responsible for the differentiation of MSCs into osteoblasts. Candidate miRNA that is responsible for target gene inhibition was identified from the miRNA database via bioinformatic analyses. In this study, miR-130a and miR-27b were selected for investigation on their role in specifically binding to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) via in vitro osteogenesis of human MSCs. During osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs, the expression level of miR-130a and miR-27b were found to be upregulated. In the meanwhile, adipogenic marker genes (PPARγ and C/EBPβ) were found to decrease, which is in contrary to the increased expression of osteogenic marker genes (RUNX2 and Osterix). MSCs were transfected with mimics and inhibitors of miR-130a and miR-27b during in vitro osteogenesis followed by evaluation for the presence of osteogenic markers via quantitative gene expression, Western blot analysis and alkaline phosphatase activity assay. The overexpression of miR-130a and miR-27b is shown to enhance osteogenesis by increasing the gene expression of RUNX2 and Osterix, the protein expression of RUNX2, COL1A1, and Osterix as well as the alkaline phosphatase activity. Taken altogether, these results suggested that miR-130a and miR-27b could promote osteogenesis in human MSCs by targeting the PPARγ.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRs) are involved in several physiological processes, including chondrogenic differentiation, however, their expression and roles in the chondrogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) remain to be fully elucidated to date. Our previous study showed that miR-1307-3p was significantly downregulated during chondrogenic differentiation by microarray and northern blot analysis. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of miR-1307-3p on chondrogenic differentiation and the underlying mechanisms. First, the decreased expression of miR-1307-3p was confirmed by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Subsequently, gain- and loss-of-function of miR-1307-3p experiments showed that the overexpression of miR-1307-3p suppressed the deposition of cartilage matrix proteoglycans and decreased the expression of cartilage-related markers, including sex determining region Y-box 9, collagen type II α1 chain and aggrecan, whereas the knockdown of miR-1307-3p had the opposite effect. In addition, bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) was identified as a target of miR-1307-3p. Further mechanistic investigations showed that miR-1307-3p attenuated the chondrogenic differentiation of hADSCs at least partly by inhibiting BMPR2-mothers against decapentaplegic signaling pathways. In conclusion, the findings revealed that miR-1307-3p inhibited the chondrogenic differentiation of hADSCs by targeting BMPR2 and its down-stream signaling pathway, which may provide novel therapeutic clues for the treatment of cartilage injury.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, a common and multifactorial disease, is influenced by genetic factors and environments. However, the pathogenesis of osteoporosis has not been fully elucidated yet. Recently, emerging evidence suggests that epigenetic modifications may be the underlying mechanisms that link genetic and environmental factors with increased risks of osteoporosis and bone fracture. MicroRNA (miRNA), a major category of small noncoding RNA with 20–22 bases in length, is recognized as one important epigenetic modification. It can mediate post-transcriptional regulation of target genes with cell differentiation and apoptosis. In this review, we aimed to profile the role of miRNA in bone remodeling and its therapeutic implications for osteoporosis. A deeper insight into the role of miRNA in bone remodeling and osteoporosis can provide unique opportunities to develop a novel diagnostic and therapeutic approach of osteoporosis.

Osteoblast-targeted delivery of miR-33-5p attenuates osteopenia development induced by mechanical unloading in mice. Cell Death Dis 2018; 9:170.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence has revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating osteoblasts and bone metabolism. However, the effects of miRNAs in osteoblast mechanotransduction remain to be defined. In this study, we investigated the regulatory effect of miR-33-5p in osteoblasts and tested its anti-osteopenia effect when delivered by an osteoblast-targeting delivery system in vivo. First, we demonstrated that miR-33-5p could promote the activity and mineralization of osteoblasts without influencing their proliferation in vitro. Then our data showed that supplementing miR-33-5p in osteoblasts by a targeted delivery system partially recovered the osteopenia induced by mechanical unloading at the biochemical, microstructural, and biomechanical levels. In summary, our findings demonstrate that miR-33-5p is a key factor in the occurrence and development of the osteopenia induced by mechanical unloading. In addition, targeted delivery of the mimics of miR-33-5p is a promising new strategy for the treatment of pathological osteopenia.

Abstract
Recent studies have recognized the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the development of osteoporosis, which regulate the balance between osteogenesis and osteoclasis. In this study, we investigated the regulation by miRNA-133a-5p on the osteoblast differentiation-associated markers in the mouse osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells by RUNX2. First, we manipulated the miRNA-133a level in the MC3T3-E1 cells with 20 or 40 nM miR-133a-5p mimics, miR-133a-5p inhibitor, or scramble miRNA. Then, we quantified with real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) the expression of Collagen I, osteocalcin (OCN), and osteopontin (OPN) in the miR-133a-5p-manipulated MC3T3-E1 cells. And the confocal microscopy was also utilized to confirm the regulation by miR-133a-5p on the expression of the three molecules. We also investigated the extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in the miR-133a-5p-manipulated MC3T3-E1 cells. In addition, we explored the possible targeting by miR-133a-5p on RUNX2, which was a well-recognized promoter to osteoblast differentiation, with luciferase reporter, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting assay. Results demonstrated that the miRNA-133a-5p mimics markedly reduced, whereas the miRNA-133a-5p inhibitor significantly promoted the expression of Collagen I, OCN, and OPN, the ECM mineralization, and the ALP activity in MC3T3-E1 cells. The alignment analysis demonstrated a high homology between miRNA-133a-5p and the 3' UTR of RUNX2. Moreover, the luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miRNA-133a-5p targeted the 3' UTR of RUNX2, and inhibited the expression of RUNX2 in both mRNA and protein levels. In conclusion, we identified the inhibition by miRNA-133a-5p to the expression of osteoblast differentiation markers, to the ECM mineralization, and to the ALP activity in MC3T3-E1 cells, by targeting the 3' UTR of RUNX2. Our study suggests that miRNA-133a-5p might be an important target to inhibit osteoblast differentiation in osteoporosis.

miR-208a-3p Suppresses Osteoblast Differentiation and Inhibits Bone Formation by Targeting ACVR1. MOLECULAR THERAPY. NUCLEIC ACIDS 2017; 11:323-336.

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that many microRNAs (miRNAs) are indispensable regulators of osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. However, the role of miRNAs in mechanotransduction of osteoblasts remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to identify a mechanosensitive miRNA that regulates Activin A receptor type I (ACVR1)-induced osteogenic differentiation. After 4 weeks of hindlimb unloading (HLU) suspension of 6-month-old male C57BL/6J mice, femurs and tibias were harvested to extract total bone RNAs. Elevated levels of miR-208a-3p correlated with a lower degree of bone formation in whole-bone samples of HLU mice. However, in vitro overexpression of miR-208a-3p inhibited osteoblast differentiation, whereas silencing of miR-208a-3p by antagomiR-208a-3p promoted expression of osteoblast activity, bone formation marker genes, and matrix mineralization under mechanical unloading condition. Bioinformatics analysis and a luciferase assay revealed that ACVR1 is a target gene of miR-208a-3p that negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation under mechanical unloading environment. Further, this study also demonstrates that in vivo pre-treatment with antagomiR-208a-3p led to an increase in bone formation and trabecular microarchitecture and partly rescued the bone loss caused by mechanical unloading. Collectively, these results suggest that in vivo, inhibition of miRNA-208a-3p by antagomiR-208a-3p may be a potential therapeutic strategy for ameliorating bone loss.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common disease that affects patient quality of life, especially among the elderly population. Although inflammation contributes significantly to osteoporosis, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In this study, we found that tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, an inflammatory environment mimic, inhibits osteogenesis of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), induces miR-146a and decreases Smad4. Moreover, overexpression of miR-146a inhibited the osteogenic ability of BMSCs, whereas blocking miR-146a partially rescued the osteogenesis deficiency under TNF-α treatment. Molecularly, miR-146a decreased Smad4 expression at the protein level by binding to an element located in the Smad4 3'-untranslated region, and restoration of Smad4 reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-146a on osteogenesis. Together, our results showed that the inflammatory environment mimic TNF-α inhibits osteogenesis via upregulation of miR-146a and subsequent downregulation of Smad4, thus suggesting that therapeutic manipulation of miR-146a maybe a potential strategy to improve osteogenesis in the context of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Epigenetics describes mechanisms which control gene expression and cellular processes without changing the DNA sequence. The main mechanisms in epigenetics are DNA methylation in CpG-rich promoters, histone modifications and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). DNA methylation modifies the function of the DNA and correlates with gene silencing. Histone modifications including acetylation/deacetylation and phosphorylation act in diverse biological processes such as transcriptional activation/inactivation and DNA repair. Non-coding RNAs play a large part in epigenetic regulation of gene expression in addition to their roles at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. Osteoporosis is the most common skeletal disorder, characterized by compromised bone strength and bone micro-architectural deterioration that predisposes the bones to an increased risk of fracture. It is most often caused by an increase in bone resorption that is not sufficiently compensated by a corresponding increase in bone formation. Nowadays it is well accepted that osteoporosis is a multifactorial disorder and there are genetic risk factors for osteoporosis and bone fractures. Here we review emerging evidence that epigenetics contributes to the machinery that can alter DNA structure, gene expression, and cellular differentiation during physiological and pathological bone remodeling.

Abstract
miRNAs as non-coding, short, double-stranded RNA segments are important for cellular biological functions, such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. miRNAs mainly contribute to the inhibition of important protein translations through their cleavage or direct repression of target messenger RNAs expressions. In the last decade, miRNAs got in the focus of interest with new publications on miRNAs in the context of different diseases. For many types of cancer or myocardial damage, typical signatures of local or systemically circulating miRNAs have already been described. However, little is known about miRNA expressions and their molecular effect in skeletal diseases. An overview of published studies reporting miRNAs detection linked with skeletal diseases was conducted. All regulated miRNAs were summarized and their molecular interactions were illustrated. This review summarizes the involvement and interaction of miRNAs in different skeletal diseases. Thereby, 59 miRNAs were described to be deregulated in tissue, cells, or in the circulation of osteoarthritis (OA), 23 miRNAs deregulated in osteoporosis, and 107 miRNAs deregulated in osteosarcoma (OS). The molecular influences of miRNAs regarding OA, osteoporosis, and OS were illustrated. Specific miRNA signatures for skeletal diseases are described in the literature. Some overlapped, but also unique ones for each disease exist. These miRNAs may present useful targets for the development of new therapeutic approaches and are candidates for diagnostic evaluations.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) constitute the largest subdivision of the TGF-β family of ligands and are unequivocally involved in regulating stem cell behavior. Appropriate regulation of canonical BMP signaling is critical for the development and homeostasis of numerous human organ systems, as aberrations in the BMP pathway or its regulation are increasingly associated with diverse human pathologies. In this review, we provide a wide-perspective on strategies that increase or decrease BMP signaling. We briefly outline the current FDA-approved approaches, highlight emerging next-generation technologies, and postulate prospective avenues for future investigation. We also detail how activating other pathways may indirectly modulate BMP signaling, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between the BMP and Activin/TGF-β pathways.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) interfere with the translation of specific target mRNAs and are thought to thereby regulate many cellular processes. However, the role of miRNAs in osteoblast mechanotransduction remains to be defined. In this study, we investigated the ability of a miRNA to respond to different mechanical environments and regulate mechano-induced osteoblast differentiation. First, we demonstrated that miR-33-5p expressed by osteoblasts is sensitive to multiple mechanical environments, microgravity and fluid shear stress. We then confirmed the ability of miR-33-5p to promote osteoblast differentiation. Microgravity or fluid shear stress influences osteoblast differentiation partially via miR-33-5p. Through bioinformatics analysis and a luciferase assay, we subsequently confirmed that Hmga2 is a target gene of miR-33-5p that negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation. Moreover, miR-33-5p regulates osteoblast differentiation partially via Hmga2. In summary, our findings demonstrate that miR-33-5p is a novel mechano-sensitive miRNA that can promote osteoblast differentiation and participate in the regulation of differentiation induced by changes in the mechanical environment, suggesting this miRNA as a potential target for the treatment of pathological bone loss.

Fate decision of mesenchymal stem cells: adipocytes or osteoblasts? Cell Death Differ 2016; 23:1128-39. [PMID: 26868907 PMCID: PMC4946886 DOI: 10.1038/cdd.2015.168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 792] [Impact Index Per Article: 99.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2015] [Revised: 11/03/2015] [Accepted: 12/01/2015] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a non-hematopoietic stem cell population first discovered in bone marrow, are multipotent cells capable of differentiating into mature cells of several mesenchymal tissues, such as fat and bone. As common progenitor cells of adipocytes and osteoblasts, MSCs are delicately balanced for their differentiation commitment. Numerous in vitro investigations have demonstrated that fat-induction factors inhibit osteogenesis, and, conversely, bone-induction factors hinder adipogenesis. In fact, a variety of external cues contribute to the delicate balance of adipo-osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, including chemical, physical, and biological factors. These factors trigger different signaling pathways and activate various transcription factors that guide MSCs to commit to either lineage. The dysregulation of the adipo-osteogenic balance has been linked to several pathophysiologic processes, such as aging, obesity, osteopenia, osteopetrosis, and osteoporosis. Thus, the regulation of MSC differentiation has increasingly attracted great attention in recent years. Here, we review external factors and their signaling processes dictating the reciprocal regulation between adipocytes and osteoblasts during MSC differentiation and the ultimate control of the adipo-osteogenic balance.
