Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) play essential roles in multiple physiological processes including bone formation. Investigators have revealed that LncRNAs regulated bone formation through various signaling pathways and micro RNAs (miRNAs). However, several problems exist in current research studies on osteogenic LncRNAs, including sophisticated techniques, high cost for experiment, as well as low homology of LncRNAs between animal model and human, which hindered translational medicine research. Moreover, compared with gene editing, LncRNAs would only lead to inhibition of target genes rather than completely knocking them out. As the studies on osteogenic LncRNA gradually proceed, some of these problems have turned osteogenic LncRNA research studies into slump. This review described some new techniques and innovative ideas to address these problems. Although investigations on osteogenic LncRNAs still have obtacles to overcome, LncRNA will work as a promising therapeutic drug for osteoporosis in the near future.

Aims: The involvement of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) osteogenic differentiation during osteoporosis (OP) development has attracted much attention. In this study, we aimed to disclose how LINC01089 functions in human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) osteogenic differentiation, and to study the mechanism by which LINC01089 regulates MSC osteogenesis.
Methods: Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting were performed to analyze LINC01089, miR-1287-5p, and heat shock protein family A (HSP70) member 4 (HSPA4) expression.

Periodontitis is an inflammation of the alveolar bone and soft tissue surrounding the teeth. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been implicated in periodontal regeneration, the mechanisms by which they promote osteogenesis remain unclear. We examined whether epigenetic modifications mediated by the long-noncoding RNA (lncRNA) NR_045147, which plays a crucial role in cancer, influence the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs).

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), as a potentially new and crucial element of biological regulation, have gained widespread attention in recent years. Our previous work identified lncRNA empty spiracles homeobox 2 antisence (EMX2-AS) was significantly increased during the osteoblast differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Overexpression of lncRNA EMX2-AS promoted osteogenesis in vitro and enhanced heterotopic bone formation in vivo, whereas lncRNA EMX2-AS knockdown had the opposite effect.
