Abstract
PURPOSE Recently, a surgical suction filter device was introduced which aims at generating a suction filter-derived bone grafting substitute (SF-BGS). The osteogenic capacity of this grafting material, however, is unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and osteogenic mRNAs may influence these processes. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the quality of the SF-BGS by determining the expression of miRNAs and osteogenic mRNAs. METHODS Samples were collected during non-union surgery. Upon exposure of the intramedullary canal, the surgical vacuum system was fitted with the suction filter device containing collagen complex and synthetic β-TCP: (Ca3(PO4)2, granule size 5-8 mm, total volume 10 mL (Cerasorb Foam®, Curasan AG, Kleinostheim, Germany). As a control, venous blood was used as in current clinical practice. Samples were snap-frozen and mechanically disrupted. MiRNAs and mRNAs were isolated, transcribed, and pooled for qPCR analysis. Lastly, mRNA targets were determined through in silico target analyses. RESULTS The study population consisted of seven patients with a posttraumatic long bone non-union (4♀; mean age 54 ± 16 years). From the array data, distinct differences in miRNA expression were found between the SF-BGS and control samples. Osteogenic marker genes were overall upregulated in the SF-BGS. Qiagen IPA software identified 1168 mRNA targets for 43 of the overall deregulated miRNAs. CONCLUSION This study revealed distinctly deregulated and exclusively expressed osteogenic miRNAs in SF-BGS, as well as overall enhanced osteogenic marker gene expression, as compared to the venous blood control group. These expression profiles were not seen in control samples, indicating that the derived material displays an osteogenic profile. It may therefore be a promising tool to generate a BGS or graft extender when needed.

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.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:782. [PMID: 37853466 PMCID: PMC10583363 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04242-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteogenesis is the key process of bone homeostasis differentiation. Numerous studies have manifested that circular RNA (circRNA) is a critical regulator of osteogenesis. The research was to explore circRNA-mediated mechanisms in osteogenesis. METHODS Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were cultured and induced to osteogenic differentiation (OD). Then, oe-circ-FKBP5, oe-NC, si-circ-FKBP5, si-NC, miR-205-5p mimic, mimic NC, miR-205-5p inhibitor, inhibitor NC, sh-RUNX2, or sh-NC were transfected into BMSCs. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was detected by ALP staining, cell mineralization was detected by alizarin red staining, cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8, and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Then, the expression of circ-FKBP5, miR-205-5p, RUNX2 and osteogenic marker genes was detected by RT-qPCR, and the expression of RUNX2 protein was detected by Western blot. Finally, the targeting relationship between miR-205-5p and circ-FKBP5 or RUNX2 was verified by bioinformation website analysis and dual luciferase reporter gene detection. RESULTS Circ-FK501 binding protein 51 (FKBP5) was distinctly elevated during OD of BMSCs. Elevated circ-FKBP5 boosted the proliferation and OD, as well as expression of osteogenic marker genes while reduced apoptosis of BMSCs. Down-regulation of circ-FKBP5 inhibited BMSCs proliferation, OD and osteogenic marker gene expression, and promoted apoptosis of BMSCs. Subsequently, circ-FKBP5 combined with miR-205-5p and constrained miR-205-5p expression. Silenced miR-205-5p boosted proliferation, OD, and expression of osteogenic marker genes and suppressed apoptosis of BMSCs. However, up-regulation of miR-205-5p inhibited BMSC proliferation, OD and osteogenic marker gene expression, and promoted apoptosis. Additionally, miR-205-5p targeted Runt-associated transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). Repression of RUNX2 turned around the effect of circ-FKBP5 overexpression on BMSCs. CONCLUSION In brief, circ-FKBP5 boosted BMSC proliferation and OD by mediating the miR-205-5p/RUNX2 axis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence demonstrates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with the development of osteoporosis. This study aimed to investigate the effect of MALAT1 on osteogenic differentiation in osteoporosis. METHODS The MALAT1 levels were detected by Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). Moreover, the levels of osteogenic differentiation-related factors (Bmp4, Col1a1, and Spp1) were measured by RT-qPCR and western blot. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was detected using ALP staining assay. RESULTS The MALAT1 levels were downregulated in hindlimb unloading (HU) mice and simulated microgravity (MG) treated MC3T3-E1 cells. Moreover, MG treatment induced the downregulation of the expression of ALP, BMP4, Col1a1 and Spp1, while overexpression of MALAT1 abolished the downregulation. MG also inhibited ALP activity, while MALAT1 reversed the effect. Furthermore, miR-217 was identified as a target of MALAT1, and AKT3 was verified as a target of miR-217. Overexpression of miR-217 rescued the promotion of osteogenic differentiation induced by MALAT1 in MG treated cells. Knockdown of AKT3 abolished the facilitation of osteogenic differentiation induced by downregulation of miR-217. CONCLUSION MALAT1 promotes osteogenic differentiation through regulating miR-217/AKT3 axis, suggesting that MALAT1 is a potential target to alleviate osteoporosis.

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
Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are multipotent cells which can differentiate into chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and fat cells. Under pathological stress, reduced bone formation in favour of fat formation in the bone marrow has been observed through a switch in the differentiation of BMSCs. The bone/fat switch causes bone growth defects and disordered bone metabolism in bone marrow, for which the mechanisms remain unclear, and treatments are lacking. Studies suggest that small non-coding RNAs (microRNAs) could participate in regulating BMSC differentiation by disrupting the post-transcription of target genes, leading to bone/fat formation changes. This review presents an emerging concept of microRNA regulation in the bone/fat formation switch in bone marrow, the evidence for which is assembled mainly from in vivo and in vitro human or animal models. Characterization of changes to microRNAs reveals novel networks that mediate signalling and factors in regulating bone/fat switch and homeostasis. Recent advances in our understanding of microRNAs in their control in BMSC differentiation have provided valuable insights into underlying mechanisms and may have significant potential in development of new therapeutics.

Cytokines regulate stemness of mesenchymal stem cells via miR-628-5p during periodontal regeneration. J Periodontol 2021; 93:269-286.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytokines play key roles in stimulating periodontal regeneration; however, their exact mechanisms of action remain unclear. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that have self-renewal abilities and can differentiate into periodontal tissues such as bone, cementum, and periodontal ligaments following transplantation, like periodontal progenitor cells. Here, we used MSCs to identify the regulatory genes induced by periodontal regenerative cytokines. METHODS Human MSCs (hMSCs) were cultured under conditions of periodontal regenerative cytokine stimulation or silencing of undifferentiated hMSC transcription factors. To characterize the changes associated with periodontal regenerative cytokine-regulated microRNAs (miRNAs), miRNA, and mRNA expression was evaluated using miRNA arrays and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, respectively. One of the identified miRNAs, miR-628-5p, was then overexpressed or suppressed in hMSCs during osteogenesis; the effect of these changes on osteogenesis was investigated. RESULTS Cytokine-stimulated MSCs showed characteristic miRNA profiles and mRNA levels of undifferentiated hMSC transcription factors ETV1, SOX11, and GATA6. Next, we silenced these transcription factors in MSCs and examined the miRNA profiles. The levels of miR-628-5p were decreased upon all cytokine treatments and were increased upon silencing of ETV1, SOX11, and GATA6. Overexpression of miR-628-5p suppressed osteogenesis; however, its inhibition enhanced OPN, ALP, OC, BMP2, and RUNX2 mRNA levels, and bone matrix mineralization, but not OSX mRNA or ALP activity. CONCLUSIONS miR-628-5p negatively regulates MSC stemness during periodontal regeneration. Periodontal regenerative cytokines act as miR-628-5p suppressors to support periodontal regeneration. Thus, selection of effective cytokines for different MSCs, based on miRNA profiling, is important for advancing regenerative therapies.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a potential source of osteoblasts and have been widely used in clinical therapies due to their pluripotency. Recent publications have found that resveratrol (RSVL) played a crucial role in the proliferation and differentiation of BMSCs; however, the underlying molecular mechanism of RSVL-induced BMSCs osteogenic differentiation needs to be fully elucidated. The objective of this study was to explore functions of miRNAs in the RSVL-treated BMSCs and its effects on the differentiation potentials of BMSCs. The findings demonstrated that RSVL enhanced the osteogenesis and suppressed the adipogenesis of BMSCs in a dose-dependent manner. Besides, a novel regulatory axis containing miR-320c, and its target Runx2 was found during the differentiation process of BMSCs under RSVL treatment. Increase of miR-320c reduced the osteogenic potential of BMSCs, while knockdown of miR-320c played a positive role in the osteogenesis of BMSCs. In contrast, overexpression of miR-320c accelerated the adipogenic differentiation, while knockdown of miR-320c restrained the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. The results confirmed that Runx2 might be the direct target of miR-320c in RSVL-promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. This study revealed that RSVL might be used for the treatment of bone loss related diseases and miR-320c could be regarded as a novel and potential target to regulate the biological functions of BMSCs.

Abstract
As an important pathological result of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), bone destruction will lead to joint injury and dysfunction. The imbalance of bone metabolism caused by increased osteoclast activities and decreased osteoblast activities is the main cause of bone destruction in RA. MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) play an important role in regulating bone metabolic network. Recent studies have shown that miRNAs play indispensable roles in the occurrence and development of bone-related diseases including RA. In this paper, the role of miRNAs in regulating bone destruction of RA in recent years, especially the differentiation and activities of osteoclast and osteoblast, is reviewed. Our results will not only help provide ideas for further studies on miRNAs’ roles in regulating bone destruction, but give candidate targets for miRNAs-based drugs research in bone destruction therapy of RA as well.

Abstract
This study examined the hypothesis that the microRNA miR-138-5p reduces the osteodifferentiation of human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) by downregulating the expression of forkhead box C1 (FOXC1). For this, hBMSCs were separated from bone marrow and osteogenic induction medium was added to stimulate osteogenic differentiation. Flow cytometric analysis was applied to evaluate the expression of cell-surface antigens associated with hBMSCs, including CD29, CD44, CD90, CD45, and CD34. qRT-PCR assays and Western blot assays were used to measure the mRNA and protein expression of miR-138-5p, osteocalcin, runt-related transcription factor 2, bone sialoprotein, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and FOXC1. ALP staining assays and Alizarin Red staining (ARS) assays were used to confirm osteogenic differentiation. We used a luciferase assay to test the interaction between miR-138-5p and FOXC1. We demonstrated that miR-138-5p is downregulated in osteogenic differentiated hBMSCs. Further, overexpression of miR-138-5p reduced the expression of markers for osteodifferentiation, ALP activity, and ARS activity. Furthermore, we showed that FOXC1 is a downstream target gene of miR-138-5p, and that knockdown of miR-138-5p improves the osteogenesis differentiation of hBMSCs by upregulating FOXC1. The results from this study indicate miR-138-5p as a new target for osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs and the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the roles of miR-221-3p and miR-222-3p in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchyme stem cells (BMSCs) under high glucose condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expreesions of miR-221-3p, miR-222-3p and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) were detected by qRT-PCR. The protein levels of osteoblast-related proteins (Osterix, Runx-2 and Osteopontin) were detected by western blot. Whether miR-221-3p and miR-222-3p can target IGF-1 was assessed by dual luciferase reporter gene assay. RESULTS miR-221-3p and miR-222-3p were up-regulated in the mandibles of diabetic rats and BMSCs cultured in high glucose condition. Silencing miR-221-3p or/ and miR-222-3p increased ALP activity and up-regulated osteoblast-related protein levels, and the simultaneous silence the two miRNAs showed stronger effects on ALP activity and osteoblast-related protein levels. Next, we confirmed that miR-221-3p and miR-222-3p both targeted IGF-1 and cooperatively regulated its expression. Besides, miR-221-3p and miR-222-3p regulated ERK activation through IGF-1. Silencing miR-221-3p and miR-222-3p promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through IGF-1 under high glucose condition. CONCLUSION miR-221-3p and miR-222-3p inhibited osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs via IGF-1/ERK pathway under high glucose condition.

Abstract
Bone metabolism is an intricate process involving various bone cells, signaling pathways, cytokines, hormones, growth factors, etc., and the slightest deviation can result in various bone disorders including osteoporosis, arthropathy, and avascular necrosis of femoral head. Osteoporosis is one of the most prevalent disorders affecting the skeleton, which is characterized by low bone mass and bone mineral density caused by the disruption in the balanced process of bone formation and bone resorption. The current pharmaceutical treatments such as bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulator, calcitonin, teriparatide, etc., could decrease the risk of fractures but have side-effects that have limited their long term applications. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are one of many non-coding RNAs. These are single-stranded with a length of 19–25 nucleotides and can influence various cellular processes and play an important role in various diseases. Therefore, in this article, we review the different functions of different miRNA in bone metabolism and osteoporosis to understand their mechanism of action for the development of possible therapeutics.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common joint disease with a high incidence rate among middle‑aged and elderly individuals. However, the precise underlying pathological mechanisms and effective treatment of this disease remain to be determined. To explore the effect of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) on chondrocyte apoptosis and catabolism, the ATDC5 cell line was cultured as an in vitro model for cartilage research. Cultured cells were treated with recombinant HMGB1 at different concentrations. Hoechst staining and flow cytometry demonstrated that HMGB1 administration significantly induced apoptosis of ATDC5 cells, which was the same as the effect of interleukin‑1β treatment. HMGB1 also induced cartilage matrix degradation, as shown by Alcian blue staining. Moreover, HMGB1 markedly upregulated the expression levels of matrix metallopeptidases (MMPs) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS), while genetic silencing of HMGB1 significantly suppressed their expressions. The glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)‑3β/β‑catenin pathway was activated upon HMGB1 treatment. Pharmacological inhibitors or HMGB1 knockdown inactivated the GSK‑3β/β‑catenin pathway, inhibited the expression levels of downstream genes, including MMPs and ADAMTS, and attenuated the apoptosis of ATDC5 cells. Furthermore, the data demonstrated that HMGB1 promoted chondrocyte dysfunction via the regulation of estrogen sulfotransferase and Runt‑related transcription factor 2. Thus, the findings of the present study demonstrated that HMGB1 induces chondrocyte cell apoptosis via activation of GSK‑3β/β‑catenin and the subsequent expression of multiple targeted genes.

Abstract
Baicalin (BAI), a sort of flavonoid monomer, acquires from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, which was forcefully reported in diversified ailments due to the pleiotropic properties. But, the functions of BAI in osteoblast differentiation have not been addressed. The intentions of this study are to attest the influences of BAI in the differentiation of osteoblasts. MC3T3-E1 cells or rat primary osteoblasts were exposed to BAI, and then cell viability, ALP activity, mineralization process, and Runx2 and Ocn expression were appraised through implementing CCK-8, p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP), Alizarin red staining, western blot, and RT-qPCR assays. The microRNA-217 (miR-217) expression was evaluated in MC3T3-E1 cells or rat primary osteoblasts after BAI disposition; meanwhile, the functions of miR-217 in BAI-administrated MC3T3-E1 cells were estimated after miR-217 inhibitor transfection. The impacts of BAI and miR-217 inhibition on Wnt/β-catenin and MEK/ERK pathways were probed to verify the involvements in BAI-regulated the differentiation of osteoblasts. BAI accelerated cell viability, osteoblast activity, and Runx2 and Ocn expression in MC3T3-E1 cells or rat primary osteoblasts, and the phenomena were mediated via activations of Wnt/β-catenin and MEK/ERK pathways. Elevation of miR-217 was observed in BAI-disposed MC3T3-E1 cells or rat primary osteoblasts, and miR-217 repression annulled the functions of BAI in MC3T3-E1 cell viability and differentiation. Additionally, the activations of Wnt/β-catenin and MEK/ERK pathways evoked by BAI were both restrained by repression of miR-217. These explorations uncovered that BAI augmented the differentiation of osteoblasts via activations of Wnt/β-catenin and MEK/ERK pathways by ascending miR-217 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in osteogenic differentiation. In recent years, increasing evidences have revealed that exosomes contain specific miRNAs. However, the effect and mechanism of miR-23a-5p-containing exosomes in osteoblast remain largely unclear. METHODS We extracted exosomes from RANKL-induced RAW 264.7 cells, and identified exosomes via transmission electron microscopy, western blot and flow cytometry analysis. In addition, exosome secretion was inhibited by GW4869 and Rab27a siRNAs. miR-23a-5p expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR, and the related protein levels were examined by western blot assay. Furthermore, the number and distribution of osteoclasts were detected by TRAP staining, and early osteogenesis was evaluated by ALP staining. Combination of YAP1 and Runx2 was verified by Co-IP assay, and the regulation of miR-23a-5p and Runx2 was measured by dual luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS We successfully extracted exosomes from RANKL-induced RAW 264.7 cells, and successfully verified exosomes morphology. We also indicated that miR-23a-5p was highly expressed in exosomes from RANKL-induced RAW 264.7 cells, and osteoclast-derived miR-23a-5p-containing exosomes inhibited osteoblast activity, while its inhibition weakened osteoclasts. In mechanism, we demonstrated that Runx2 was a target gene of miR-23a-5p, YAP interacted with Runx2, and YAP or Runx2 inhibited MT1DP expression. In addition, we proved that knockdown of MT1DP facilitated osteogenic differentiation by regulating FoxA1 and Runx2. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that osteoclast-derived miR-23a-5p-containing exosomes could efficiently suppress osteogenic differentiation by inhibiting Runx2 and promoting YAP1-mediated MT1DP. Therefore, we suggested miR-23a-5p in exosomes might provide a novel mechanism for osteoblast function.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a skeleton disease affecting 55% of people over age 60, and the number is still increasing due to an ageing population. One method to prevent osteoporosis is to increase the formation of new bone while preventing the resorption of older bone. Thus, osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is of great importance in improving the treatment of osteoporosis. On the other hand, glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used to treat the chronic inflammatory disorders, but long-term exposure to GCs can induce osteoporosis. In present study, we treated BMSCs with dexamethasone (DEX) to simulate GC-induced osteoporosis. MTT assay, ALP activity, and Alizarin Red were used to evaluate the role miRNA-291a-3p in the DEX-induced osteogenic differentiation suppression. Further, we used qPCR and western blot to investigate the mechanisms of miRNA-291a-3p affecting BMSCs differentiation. The results showed that miRNA-291a-3p could improve the cell viability, osteogenic differentiation, and ALP activity, which are suppressed by DEX in BMSCs. Furthermore, we found that the osteogenesis genes Runx2, DMP1, and ALP were upregulated whereas the lipogenic genes C/EBPα and PPARγ were downregulated when miRNA-291a-3p mimics were transfected. Additionally, we demonstrated that miRNA-291a-3p promoted BMSCs' osteogenic differentiation by directly suppressing DKK1 mRNA and protein expression and subsequently activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Our study suggests that miR-291a-3p plays an important role in preventing osteoporosis and may serve as a potential miRNA osteoporosis biomarker.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), which were first discovered in bone marrow, are capable of differentiating into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, fat cells, and even myoblasts, and are considered multipotent cells. As a result of their potential for multipotential differentiation, self-renewal, immune regulation, and other effects, BMSCs have become an important source of seed cells for gene therapy, tissue engineering, cell replacement therapy, and regenerative medicine. MicroRNA (miRNA) is a highly conserved type of endogenous non-protein-encoding RNA of about 19-25 nucleotides in length, whose transcription process is independent of other genes. Generally, miRNA plays roles in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and development by binding to the 3' untranslated region of target mRNAs, whereby they can degrade or induce translational silencing. Although miRNAs play a regulatory role in various metabolic processes, they are not translated into proteins. Several studies have shown that miRNAs play an important role in the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Herein, we describe in-depth studies of roles for miRNAs during the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, as they provide new theoretical and experimental rationales for bone tissue engineering and clinical treatment.

Abstract
MicroRNA sequencing (miRNA‑seq) was performed in the present study to investigate miRNA expression profiles in infarcted brain areas following focal cerebral ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats. In total, 20 miRNAs were identified to be upregulated and 17 to be downregulated in the infarct area. The expression levels of six differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRs), miR‑211‑5p, miR‑183‑5p, miR‑10b‑3p, miR‑182, miR‑217‑5p and miR‑96‑5p, were examined by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Subsequently, a miRNA‑mRNA network was constructed. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses were performed to investigate the functions of the mRNAs targeted by these DEmiRs. The present study aimed to investigate the association between miRNAs and cerebral ischemia to provide potential insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying ischemic stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The function and the mechanism of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) on the osteogenic differentiation of maxillary sinus membrane stem cells (MSMSCs) remain largely unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression of lnc-NTF3-5 and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), Osterix (OSX), and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) was examined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in MSMSCs during the process osteogenic differentiation. Then the function of lnc-NTF3-5 was evaluated by loss- and gain-of-function techniques, as well as qRT-PCR, western blot, and Alizarin Red staining. In addition, the microRNAs (miRNAs) sponge potential of lnc-NTF3-5 was assessed through RNA immunoprecipitation, dual luciferase reporter assay, and in vivo ectopic bone formation. RESULTS Lnc-NTF3-5, RUNX2, OSX, and ALP increased alone with the differentiation. Inhibition of lnc-NTF3-5 decreased the expression of RUNX2, OSX, and ALP both at mRNA and protein levels. Alizarin red staining showed similar trend. In contrast, overexpression of lnc-NTF3-5 presented totally opposite effects. Besides, overexpression of lnc-NTF3-5 could decrease the expression of microRNA-93-3p (miR-93-3p). Enhance miR-93-3p could also inhibit the expression level of lnc-NTF3-5. RNA immunoprecipitation demonstrated that lnc-NTF3-5 is directly bound to miR-93-3p and dual luciferase reporter assay proved that miR-93-3p targets 3' UTR of RUNX2 to regulate its expression. Ultimately, in vivo bone formation study showed that lnc-NTF3-5 and miR-93-3p inhibitor co-transfection group displayed the strongest bone formation. CONCLUSIONS The novel pathway lnc-NTF3-5/miR-93-3p/RUNX2 could regulate osteogenic differentiation of MSMSCs and might serve as a therapeutic target for bone regeneration in the posterior maxilla.
