Identification of circulating miRNAs as fracture-related biomarkers

Abstract: Fracture non-unions affect many patients worldwide, however, known risk factors alone do not predict individual risk. The identification of novel biomarkers is crucial for early diagnosis and timely patient treatment. This study focused on the identification of microRNA (miRNA) related to the process of fracture healing. Serum of fracture patients and healthy volunteers was screened by RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed miRNA at various times after injury. The results were correlated to miRNA in the conditioned medium of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) during in vitro osteogenic differentiation. hsa-miR-1246, hsa-miR-335-5p, and miR-193a-5p were identified both in vitro and in fracture patients and their functional role in direct BMSC osteogenic differentiation was assessed. The results showed no influence of the downregulation of the three miRNAs during in vitro osteogenesis. However, miR-1246 may be involved in cell proliferation and recruitment of progenitor cells. Further studies should be performed to assess the role of these miRNA in other processes relevant to fracture healing
