A growing number of studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) widely participate in the process of osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, regulate the proliferation and apoptosis of a variety of stem cells and osteoblasts, and play an important role in maintaining the balance of bone metabolism. LncRNA H19 regulates the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) as upstream gene or through direct adsorption, changes the expressions of osteogenic differentiation related genes (RUNX2, OCN, etc.) via Wnt/β-catenin, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and Notch signal transduction pathways, and consequently adjusts the process of bone formation. This paper reviews some research progress on the effect of lncRNA H19 on bone diseases, which may help to understand the function and mechanism of lncRNA H19 in regulating the occurrence and development of bone diseases and provide more reliable theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of bone metabolism related diseases.

Plasma nitriding is one of the surface modifications that show more effectiveness than other methods. In this study, the plasma-based ion implantation (PBII) technique was performed on the surface of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V, Ti64) using a mixture of nitrogen (N) and argon (Ar), resulting in a plasma-nitrided surface (TiN-Ti64). The surface composition of the TiN-Ti64 was verified through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Periodontitis (PD) is twice as prevalent in diabetics compared to nondiabetics, and diabetes-associated PD is characterized by increased inflammation and aggravated tissue damage. Pyroptosis has recently been implicated in diabetes-associated PD; however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown, resulting in a lack of effective treatments. In this study, we investigated the role of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) in macrophage pyroptosis and found that it inhibits the osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts via pyroptotic macrophages in a diabetes-associated periodontitis mouse model.

As a GLP-1 receptor agonist widely used in treating type 2 diabetes, liraglutide shows potential applications in bone tissue engineering. This study investigated liraglutide's direct effects on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) osteogenic differentiation and its regulatory mechanism through macrophage polarization. Results showed that liraglutide significantly enhanced BMSC migration and osteogenic differentiation.

The repair of diabetic bone defects is still filled with enormous challenges. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) are regenerated in diabetic bone defect sites which is harmful to bone regeneration. Therefore, it's to a good strategy to scavenge the excess ROS to provide a friendly environment for diabetic bone defects repair.
