Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) are adult stem cells residing in the bone marrow, characterized by their capacity for multi-directional differentiation, self-renewal, migration, and engraftment. Serving as seed cells, BMSCs play a pivotal role in the regeneration of bone defects. Hence, investigating the transcription factors and signaling pathways involved in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs holds significant importance. Recent research has unveiled that certain circular RNAs (circRNAs) can function as molecular sponges, influencing the osteogenic differentiation process of mesenchymal stem cells. However, many circRNAs remain undiscovered, and their precise mechanisms remain elusive. Therefore, the objective of this study is to construct an osteogenic differentiation-related circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network in hBMSCs. Subsequently, through bioinformatics analysis, we constructed a ceRNA network related to the osteogenic differentiation ability of hBMSCs, comprising 22 circRNAs, 17 miRNAs, and 15 mRNAs. The potential circRNA-miRNA-mRNA axes, including the role of hsa_circ_0001600 in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs through the targeted regulation of hsa-miR-542-3p, were validated through in vitro experiments.

Our previous studies indicate that NFI-C is essential for tooth root development and endochondral ossification. However, its exact role in calvarial intramembranous bone formation remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that the disruption of the gene leads to defects in intramembranous bone formation, characterized by decreased osteogenic proliferative activity and reduced osteoblast differentiation during postnatal osteogenesis.

The application of a three-dimensional (3D)-printed biological functional scaffold in the repair of bone defects is a promising strategy. In this study, strontium-containing hydroxyapatite (SrHA) powder was synthesized by the hydrothermal method, and then poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/HA and PCL/SrHA composite scaffolds were prepared by the high-temperature melt extrusion 3D printing technology. The basic physical and chemical properties, in vitro biological properties, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis abilities of the scaffold were studied.

Alcoholic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (AIONFH) is caused by long-term heavy drinking, which leads to abnormal alcohol and lipid metabolism, resulting in femoral head tissue damage, and then pathological necrosis of femoral head tissue. If not treated in time in clinical practice, it will seriously affect the quality of life of patients and even require hip replacement to treat alcoholic femoral head necrosis. This study will confirm whether M2 macrophage exosome (M2-Exo) miR-122 mediates alcohol-induced BMSCs osteogenic differentiation, ultimately leading to the inhibition of femoral head necrosis.

This study examines the biocompatibility, osteogenic potential, and effectiveness of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) composites for treating osteonecrosis, seeking to establish a theoretical basis for clinical application. A range of PEEK composite materials, including sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK), polydopamine-sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK-PDA), bone-forming peptide-poly-dopamine-sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK-PDA-BFP), and vascular endothelial growth factor-poly-dopamine-sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK-PDA-VEGF), were constructed by concentrated sulfuric acid sulfonation, polydopamine modification and grafting of bioactive factors. The experiments involved adult male New Zealand rabbits aged 24-28 weeks and weighing 2.

Blood clots (BCs) play a crucial biomechanical role in promoting osteogenesis and regulating mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) function and fate. This study shows that BC formation enhances MSC osteogenesis by activating Itgb1/Fak-mediated focal adhesion and subsequent Runx2-mediated bone regeneration. Notably, BC viscoelasticity regulates this effect by modulating Runx2 nuclear translocation.
