Osteoporosis is a complex multifactorial disorder linked to various risk factors and medical conditions. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) dysfunction potentially plays a critical role in osteoporosis pathogenesis. Herein, the study identified that miR-4739 was upregulated in BMSC cultures harvested from osteoporotic subjects. BMSCs were isolated from normal and osteoporotic bone marrow tissues and identified for their osteogenic differentiation potential. In osteoporotic BMSCs, miR-4739 overexpression significantly inhibited cell viability, osteoblast differentiation, mineralized nodule formation, and heterotopic bone formation, whereas miR-4739 inhibition exerted opposite effects. Through direct binding, miR-4739 inhibited distal-less homeobox 3 (DLX3) expression. In osteoporotic BMSCs, DLX3 knockdown also inhibited BMSC viability and osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, DLX3 knockdown partially attenuated the effects of miR-4739 inhibition upon BMSCs. Altogether, the miR-4739/DLX3 axis modulates the capacity of BMSCs to differentiate into osteoblasts, which potentially plays a role in osteoporosis pathogenesis. The in vivo and clinical functions of the miR-4739/DLX3 axis require further investigation.

Abstract Background Little is known about the implications of circRNAs in the effects of melatonin (MEL) on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenic differentiation and osteoporosis (OP) progression. The aim of our study was to investigate circRNAs in MEL-regulated BMSC differentiation and OP progression. Methods BMSC osteogenic differentiation was measured by qRT-PCR, western blot (WB), Alizarin Red, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining. Differential circRNA and mRNA profiles of BMSCs treated by MEL were characterized by deep sequencing, followed by validation using RT-PCR, Sanger sequencing, and qRT-PCR. Silencing and overexpression of circ_0003865 were conducted for functional investigations. The sponged microRNAs and targeted mRNAs were predicted by bioinformatics and validated by qRT-PCR, RNA pull-down, and dual-luciferase reporter assay. The function of miR-3653-3p and circ_0003865/miR-3653-3p/growth arrest-specific gene 1 (GAS1) cascade was validated for the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs by CCK-8, qRT-PCR, WB, Alizarin Red, and ALP staining. The effects of circ_0003865 on OP development were tested in murine OP model. Results MEL promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. RNA sequencing revealed significant alterations in circRNA and mRNA profiles associated with multiple biological processes and signaling pathways. Circ_0003865 expression in BMSCs was significantly decreased by MEL treatment. Silencing of circ_0003865 had no effect on proliferation while promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Overexpression of circ_0003865 abrogated the promotion of BMSC osteogenic differentiation induced by MEL, but proliferation of BMSCs induced by MEL had no change whether circ_0003865 was overexpression or not. Furthermore, circ_0003865 sponged miR-3653-3p to promote GAS1 expression in BMSCs. BMSC osteogenic differentiation was enhanced by miR-3653-3p overexpression while BMSC proliferation was not affected. By contrast, miR-3653-3p silencing mitigated the promoted BMSC osteogenic differentiation caused by circ_0003865 silencing, but had no effect on proliferation. Finally, circ_0003865 silencing repressed OP development in mouse model. Conclusion MEL promotes BMSC osteogenic differentiation and inhibits OP pathogenesis by suppressing the expression of circ_0003865, which regulates GAS1 gene expression via sponging miR-3653-3p.

Recent evidence has demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can release a large number of functionally specific microRNA (miRNA) microvesicles that play a role in promoting osteogenic differentiation, but the specific mechanism is not yet clear. Under such context, this study aims to elucidate the mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (BMSC-Exo) promoting fracture healing in mice. We isolated and identified the BMSC-Exo. Bioinformatics analysis predicted high expression of miRNA in exosomes and verified the transfer of miR-25 in exosomes by immunofluorescence. Targeting relationship between miR-25 and Smad ubiquitination regulatory factor-1 (SMURF1) was predicted and verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Immunoprecipitation and protein stability assays were used to detect Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) ubiquitination and the effect of SMURF1 on Runx2 ubiquitination, respectively. The effect of miR-25 in BMSC-Exo on fracture healing in mice was assessed using X-ray imaging. alkaline phosphatase, alizarin red staining, EdU, CCK-8, and Transwell were used to evaluate the effects of exosomes transferred miR-25 on osteogenic differentiation, proliferation, and migration of osteoblasts. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that miR-25 expression in exosomes increased significantly. Moreover, the targeted regulation of SMURF1 by miR-25 was verified. SMURF1 inhibited Runx2 protein expression by promoting ubiquitination degradation of Runx2. Notably, miR-25 secreted by BMSC-Exo can accelerate osteogenic differentiation, proliferation, and migration of osteoblasts through SMURF1/Runx2 axis. Our results demonstrate that miR-25 in BMSC-Exo regulates the ubiquitination degradation of Runx2 by SMURF1 to promote fracture healing in mice.

Amniotic membrane of human placenta is a source of abundant mesenchymal stem cell (hAMSC) which makes it a potential source of allogeneic multipotent cell for bone healing.  However, much has to be explored about its isolation procedure and the osteogenic differentiation potential. The aims of this study are to establish the procurement procedure of human amniotic membrane, the isolation   and culture   of hAMSC, the MSC phenotypic characterization, and the in vitro osteogenic differentiation of hAMSC.  Results of the study are as follows. The quality of human amniotic membrane would be best if procured from Caesarean operation under highly aseptic condition to avoid fungal and bacterial contamination on the culture.  Isolation procedure using modified   Soncini protocol yielded large amount of MSC with high proliferative capacity in culture medium.  Characterization of hAMSC showed that the majority of the target cells exhibited specific MSC markers (CD10S and CD90) with a small number of these cells expressing CD45the marker of hematopoeitic cells. The in vitro osteogenic differentiation of hAMSC  followed by Alizarin  Red staining showed that  osteoblastic differentiation  was  detected in a significantly   high  number  of cells.  This study concludes that hAMSCs isolated from human amniotic membrane have the capacity for in vitro osteogenesis which makes them be one of the potential allogeneic stem cells for application in maxillofacial bone reconstruction.
