Abstract

Epigenetics, present a new discipline that attempts to explain significant differences in phenotypes among patients with the same disease. In contrast to the other epigenetic mechanisms that modulate gene transcription, non-coding RNAs act at the post-transcriptional level. They directly modulate the gene expression of mRNA genes leading to mRNA target cleavage and degradation and translation repression. Bioinformatic predictions indicate that non coding RNAs may be involved in the regulation of 60% of the coding genes and each non-coding RNA can have multiple target genes, and each gene may be regulated by more than one non-coding RNAs. In the last decade several studies have shown a significant role of non-coding RNAs in the regulation of bone metabolism and function of bone cells opening a new era in the understanding of bone biology in health and disease.
