Abstract
Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are progenitor cells isolated from bone marrow, which keep potential to differentiate into several kinds of cells including osteoblasts and adipocytes. A dynamic mutual regulation exists between osteogenesis and adipogenesis processes. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) performs diverse functions in biological activities including regulation of BMSCs commitment. Evidence has shown that lncRNA regulates key signaling pathways including TGFβ/BMP, Wnt and Notch pathways, and several transcription factors in BMSCs differention. Dysregulation of lncRNA in BMSCs leads to disruption of osteo-adipogenesis difffrentiation and results in impairment of bone homeostasis. In this review, we focus on the role of lncRNA in several critical signaling pathways that involved in regulation of osteo-adipogenesis of BMSC and prospects the potential clinical application of lncRNA.
