Use of Omics Data in Fracture Prediction; a Scoping and Systematic Review in Horses and Humans.
Abstract: Despite many recent advances in imaging and epidemiological data analysis, musculoskeletal injuries continue to be a welfare issue in racehorses. Peptide biomarker studies have failed to consistently predict bone injury. Molecular profiling studies provide an opportunity to study equine musculoskeletal disease. A systematic review of the literature was performed using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines to assess the use of miRNA profiling studies in equine and human musculoskeletal injuries. Data were extracted from 40 papers between 2008 and 2020. Three miRNA studies profiling equine musculoskeletal disease were identified, none of which related to equine stress fractures. Eleven papers studied miRNA profiles in osteoporotic human patients with fractures, but differentially expressed miRNAs were not consistent between studies. MicroRNA target prediction programmes also produced conflicting results between studies. Exercise affected miRNA profiles in both horse and human studies (e.g., miR-21 was upregulated by endurance exercise and miR-125b was downregulated by exercise). MicroRNA profiling studies in horses continue to emerge, but as yet, no miRNA profile can reliably predict the occurrence of fractures. It is very important that future studies are well designed to mitigate the effects of variation in sample size, exercise and normalisation methods.

Summary
This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.
The research article discusses how molecular profiling studies, particularly those involving miRNA, have been used in an attempt to predict bone injuries in horses and humans – an objective that has not been fully accomplished due to inconsistency and variability in results.
Objective and Methodology
- The study aims to review and assess the use of miRNA profiling studies in predicting musculoskeletal injuries in both horses and humans.
- A systematic review is conducted in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. This approach ensures that the review is thorough, standardized, and of high quality.
- The review involved extracting data from 40 papers published between 2008 and 2020. The articles chosen were those that primarily studied miRNA profiles linked to musculoskeletal diseases.
Findings
- Out of the 40 papers, only three were found to study miRNA profiles connected to equine musculoskeletal disease. However, none offered relevant insight into equine stress fractures – a common injury in racehorses.
- Eleven papers had studied miRNA profiles in osteoporotic human patients with fractures. Nevertheless, the identified differentially expressed miRNAs were inconsistent across the studies.
- In terms of fitness activities, miRNA profiles did show alterations in both horse and human subjects following exercise. For example, miR-21 was found to increase following endurance exercise, while miR-125b was found to decrease.
Limitations and Future Directions
- The research highlighted that miRNA profiling is still evolving in the field of fracture prediction, with no profile having demonstrated a reliable ability to anticipate fracture occurrence to date.
- Large variations in sample size, normalization methods, and the exercise undertaken by subjects were identified as major contributing factors to inconsistent findings across studies.
- The study encourages future research to be more meticulously designed so as to negate the variability caused by these factors. Such careful planning is projected to lead to more consistent results, enhancing the practical use of miRNA profiling in fracture prediction.
