Objective To summarize the mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in signal pathways related to osteogenic differentiation. Methods  Relevant domestic and foreign researches in recent years were consulted. The characteristics and biological functions of lncRNA were introduced, and the specific mechanism of lncRNA regulating related signal pathways in osteogenic differentiation was elaborated. Results  The exertion and maintenance of normal function of bone requires the closed coordination of transcription networks and signal pathways. However, most of these signal pathways or networks are dysregulated under pathological conditions that affect bone homeostasis. lncRNA can regulate the differentiation of various bone cells by activating or inhibiting signal pathways to achieve the balance of bone homeostasis, thereby reversing the pathological state of bones and achieving the purpose of treating bone metabolic diseases. Conclusion  At present, the research on the mechanism of lncRNA regulating various osteogenic differentiation pathways is still in the early stage. Its in-depth regulator mechanism, especially the cross-talk of complex signal pathways needs to be further studied. And how to apply these molecular targets to clinical treatment is also a big challenge.
