“…The incidence of meniscal injuries is on the rise, which might be partly attributed to the general aging of the population [23]. Previous studies have found that age-related meniscus denaturation induces an increase in fragility of meniscus tissue, thereby increasing the incidence of meniscus tearing in the elderly population [24].…”

Background: The compositional change in the meniscus with aging would increase the tissue vulnerability of the meniscus, which would induce meniscus tearing. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism of age-related meniscus degeneration with gene expression profiling analysis, and validate pivotal genes in vivo and in vitro models.Methods: The GSE45233 dataset, including 6 elderly meniscus samples and 6 younger meniscus samples, was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. To screen the differential expression of mRNAs, identify the miRNAs targeting hub genes, and forecast the potentially toxic drugs, we completed a series of bioinformatics analyses, including functional and pathway enrichment, protein-protein interaction network, hub genes screening, construction of a lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA network, and molecular docking of potential drugs. Furthermore, crucial genes were examined in human senescent menisci, mouse senescent meniscus tissues and mouse meniscus cells stimulated by IL-1β.Results: In total, the most significant 4 hub genes (RRM2, AURKB, CDK1, and TIMP1), 5 miRNAs (hsa-miR-6810-5p, hsa-miR-4676-5p, hsa-miR-6877-5p, hsa-miR-8085, and hsa-miR-6133) that regulated such 4 hub genes, and potential toxic drugs (Cladribine, Danusertib, Barasertib, Riviciclib, and Dinaciclib) that had a targeting effect on these genes, were finally identified. Moreover, these hub genes were decreased in meniscus cells in vitro and meniscus tissues in vivo, which indicated that hub genes were related to meniscus senescence and could serve as potential biomarkers for age-related meniscus tearing.Conclusions: In short, the integrated analysis of gene expression profile, co-expression network, and models detection identified pivotal genes, which elucidated the possible molecular basis underlying the senescence meniscus and also provided prognosis clues for early-onset age-related meniscus tearing.

Background: The incidence of meniscal injury is on the rise, partly due to the general aging of the population. The compositional change in the meniscus with aging would increase the tissue vulnerability of the meniscus, which would induce meniscus tearing. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism of age-related meniscus degeneration with gene expression profiling analysis.Methods: The GSE45233 dataset, including 6 elderly meniscus samples and 6 younger meniscus samples, which were obtained from patients undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy, was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database for subsequent bioinformatics analysis. To screen the differential expression of mRNAs, identify the miRNAs targeting hub genes, and forecast the potentially toxic drugs, we completed a series of bioinformatics analyses, including functional and pathway enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction network, hub genes screening, construction of a lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA network, and molecular docking of potential drugs. Furthermore, hub genes were examined in human senescent menisci, mouse senescent meniscus tissues and mouse meniscus cells stimulated by IL-1β.Results: In total, the most significant 4 hub genes (RRM2, AURKB, CDK1, and TIMP1), 5 miRNAs (hsa-miR-6810-5p, hsa-miR-4676-5p, hsa-miR-6877-5p, hsa-miR-8085, and hsa-miR-6133) that could regulate such 4 hub genes and potential toxic drugs (Cladribine, Danusertib, Barasertib, Riviciclib, and Dinaciclib) that may have a targeting effect on these genes, were finally identified. The functional enrichment results showed that hub genes were mainly concentrated in aging and regulation of the cell cycle process. Further pathways enrichment analysis of these miRNA revealed that these miRNAs were involved in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans. The hub genes were decreased in meniscus cells in vitro and meniscus tissues in vivo, which indicated that hub genes were related to meniscus senescence.Conclusions: In a word, our current study would provide a basis for finding markers of the aging meniscus to a certain extent.

Isolated meniscus injuries in skeletally immature children and adolescents: state of the art

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The prevalence of isolated meniscal injuries in children and adolescents is low; however, we see an increase mainly due to intensified sports-related activities at an early age. A meniscal repair should be attempted whenever possible as children present with increased meniscal healing potential. The diagnosis and management of meniscal tears involve both patient factors and tear characteristics: size, anatomical location and associated injuries. Special attention should be given to the feature of discoid menisci and related tears as they require a specific management plan. This state-of-the-art review highlights the most recent studies on clinical evaluation, surgical techniques, tips and tricks, pitfalls, outcomes, return-to-sports, geographical differences and future perspectives related to meniscal injuries in children and adolescents.
