Abstract: BACKGROUND: It has been demonstrated that osteoclast activation plays an important role in skeletal system-related diseases. The mechanism of regulation of osteoclast activation by extracellular vesicles carrying non-coding RNA has not been fully elucidated.
OBJECTIVE: To review and summarize relevant literature in and outside China, and to review the regulation of osteoclast activation by different non-coding RNAs in extracellular vesicles in different diseases, so as to provide a certain direction for subsequent research.
METHODS: “Non-coding RNA, miRNA, lncRNA, circRNA, snoRNA, osteoclasts, extracellular vesicles, exosome, microparticle, apoptotic bodies” were used as search terms to search the databases of CNKI, WanFang, and VIP. “Extracellular vesicles, exosome, microparticle, apoptotic bodies, non-coding RNA, miRNA, lncRNA, circRNA, snoRNA, osteoclast” were used as search terms to search PubMed. Finally, 71 articles were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The activation of osteoclasts is affected by many factors, among which the specific mechanism of non-coding RNA regulating osteoclast activation is not clear. (2) Extracellular vesicles can be secreted by osteoblasts, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, tumor cells and other cells. As a carrier of intercellular communication, extracellular vesicles can carry non-coding RNA to regulate osteoclast activation. (3) In the current studies on the regulation of osteoclast activation by extracellular vesicles carrying non-coding RNA, most of the diseases are osteoporosis, followed by tumor bone metastasis, and most types of non-coding RNA are miRNA. (4) There are relatively few studies on the regulation of extracellular vesicles carrying lncRNA and circRNA and snoRNA on osteoclast activation, and the regulatory mechanism is mainly ceRNA mechanism. (5) In conclusion, an in-depth study of the regulatory mechanism of extracellular vesicles carrying non-coding RNA on osteoclast activation is helpful to find key targets for the treatment of skeletal system-related diseases.
