ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Wnt/ß-catenin pathway plays a critical role in modulating embryonic development, cell growth, and differentiation. The over-expression of ß-catenin activates this pathway and up-regulates expression of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13), and promotes matrix degradation and occurrence of osteoarthritis (OA). This study aims to explore the effect of miR-320 expression in OA chondrocyte and underlying mechanisms. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Chondrocyte tissues from OA patients and normal individuals were collected for the detection of expression levels of miR-320, ß-catenin, MMP-13, and alpha-1 chain of type II collagen (COL2A1). Dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to test targeted regulation between miR-320 and ß-catenin. IL-1ß was used to simulate in vitro cultured chondrocytes, which were transfected with miR-320 mimic and/or si-ß-catenin, followed by quantification of miR-320, ß-catenin, MMP-13, and COL2A1.RESULTS:
In chondrocytes of OA patients, expression of microRNA (miR)-320 is decreased. Bioinformatics analysis revealed complementary binding sites between miR-320 and ß-catenin. Compared to control group, increasing levels of ß-catenin and MMP-13 expression with reduction of miR-320 and COL2A1 expressions were observed in OA chondrocytes. Transfection of miR-320 mimic and/or si-ß-catenin depressed expression of ß-catenin and MMP-13 inside chondrocytes, accompanied with elevation of COL2A1 expression.CONCLUSIONS:
MiR-320 expression in OA chondrocyte is decreased, accompanied with up regulation of ß-catenin and MMP-13. MiR-320 can inhibit ß-catenin and MMP-13 expressions, elevates COL2A1 expression, which provides novel insights for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
