Abstract: BACKGROUND: Histone deacetylases play a key role in bone diseases through epigenetic regulation. Recent studies have found that microRNA (miRNA), as a new treatment inhibitor, can bind with different types of histone deacetylases to affect its expression, thus influencing the occurrence and development of bone-related diseases.
OBJECTIVE: To review the effects of various miRNAs targeting different types of histone deacetylases on bone diseases, and provide a new therapeutic direction for the clinical treatment of bone diseases.
METHODS: We searched PubMed, WanFang, CNKI, Elsevier and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database for relevant literature published from 2000 to 2020. The search terms were “HDAC, miRNA; bone, mesenchymal stem cells, osteoclast, chondrocyte, osteoarthrosis, osteosarcoma” in Chinese and English, respectively. Finally, 79 articles were included for review.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Histone deacetylases can affect the occurrence and progression of bone diseases such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and osteosarcoma by regulating the osteoblastic and adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, osteoclast proliferation and viability,  as well as osteosarcoma cell invasion and metastasis. MiRNA is a type of endogenous non-coding RNA involved in post-transcriptional negative feedback regulation. Studies have reported that miRNA can regulate the expression of histone deacetylases in the bones and affect the development of bone diseases.


Key words: histone deacetylases, microRNA, bone, mesenchymal stem cell, osteoclast, chondrocyte, osteoarthrosis, osteosarcoma
