Abstract

Previous studies have identified a close association between diet and the prevalence of Kashin-Beck disease (KBD); however, the mechanisms via which the diet protects against KBD‑associated cartilage injury has remained elusive. Recent international research studies have revealed a therapeutic role of dietary exosome micro (mi)RNAs in repairing chondrocyte lesions by regulating genes and proteins associated with cellular apoptosis and extracellular matrix. Vital molecules affecting bio‑functions of chondrocytes, including miR‑23b and protein kinase cyclic AMP‑activated catalytic subunit β, were preliminarily identified to be dysregulated in cells and cartilage tissue of KBD patients. The function of dietary exosome in the repair of chondrocyte lesions in KBD is a novel topic in this field. It is worth exploring the protective role of dietary exosome‑miR‑23b against chondrocyte damage through the regulation of the protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway. The following aims are significant in future studies: i) To verify the association between exosome and cartilage damage in KBD patients; ii) to identify whether the protective mechanism of miR‑23b in cartilage damage proceeds through regulating the PKA pathway; and iii) to explore the therapeutic role of dietary exosome‑miR‑23b in repairing chondrocyte lesions induced by environmental risk factors. These ideas may help establish the therapeutic role and mechanisms of dietary exosome‑miR‑23b in repairing chondrocyte lesions at the molecular, cellular and organismal level. These studies may simultaneously elucidate the disease pathogenesis and provide evidence for novel biomarkers and therapeutic methods for KBD.
