BACKGROUND:Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disease,and the etiology and development of its pathogenesis are still unclear.Timely diagnosis and treatment of early osteoarthritis are crucial,and there is currently no definite and effective method.Extracellular vesicles come from a wide range of sources,including non-coding RNAs such as small RNAs,circular RNAs,and long chain non-coding RNAs.Extracellular vesicles non-coding RNAs can be directly delivered from primitive cells to neighboring or remote cells,regulating cell activity through intercellular communication and playing an important regulatory role in reshaping the bone and joint microenvironment.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the intervention effects of exosome-derived non-coding RNAs on the joint microenvironment of osteoarthritis and the progress made in clinical application,and to clarify the potential of exosome-derived non-coding RNAs in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis.METHODS:Search terms "exosomes,non-coding RNA,osteoarthritis,application,signal pathway,synovial fluid,cartilage cells,cartilage matrix,subchondral,mechanism" were used for the search on PubMed database.Finally,66 related articles were included for review analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Exosome-derived non-coding RNAs play an important regulatory role in the joint microenvironment during the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis,mainly reflected in:exosome non-coding RNAs regulating the inflammatory response in the joint,degeneration of chondrocytes and cartilage matrix,subchondral bone remodeling,and intercellular communication.(2) The non-coding RNAs in exosomes can serve as biomarkers for osteoarthritis,aiding in the early diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression and prognosis.(3) Exosome non-coding RNAs serve as therapeutic targets for osteoarthritis.Exosomes carry miRNAs to the articular chondrocytes and cartilage matrix to play a regulatory role.(4) Exosomes non-coding RNAs can improve the effect of cartilage tissue engineering by regulating gene expression and promoting intercellular communication to repair or regenerate damaged cartilage.(5) In future research,researchers should continue to explore the intervention mechanism of non-coding RNAs derived from exosomes on osteoarthritis,and apply them to clinical practice in combination with the latest research outcomes in cartilage tissue engineering,which will effectively help solve the pain of osteoarthritis patients.

The circadian levels of norepinephrine ( NE ) and dopamiae (DA) in the whole brain were determined spectrofluorometrically in control mice and in mice pretreated with ginseng saponin. All animals were adapted for a minimum period of 2 weeks to an environmental room equipped with, an automatically timed 12h-light and 12h-dark illumination cycle before experiment. Data obtained at 4 h intervals for 48h spans were analyzed by the mean cosinor method.It has been proved that the catecholamine concentrations in the brain vary diurnally. The whole brain NE and DA contents were highest during the middle of dark phase and decreased to a low levels after the onset of light phase. In administration of ginseng saponin altered the circadian pattern and ( or ) levels of brain catecholamine over controls. In order to check the above results reserpine was injected to mice. The levels of NE and DA remarkedly depleted at the times studied, and they showed a significant circadian rhythms as well.It seems that ginseng saponin selectively modulates the circadian variations of brain NE and DA, and its effects may be as a cosinor function of the time of day.
