タイトル MiR-18a-3p improves cartilage matrix remodeling and inhibits inflammation in osteoarthritis by suppressing PDP1.
ジャーナル J Physiol Sci
Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease characterized by synovial inflammation. MiR-18a-3p was reported to be downregulated in knee anterior cruciate ligament of OA patients. In the present study, the specific functions and mechanism of miR-18a-3p in OA were explored. An in vitro model of OA was established using 10 ng/ml IL-1β to treat ATDC5 cells, and medial meniscus instability surgery was performed on Wistar rats to establish in vivo rat model of OA. RT-qPCR revealed that miR-18a-3p was downregulated in IL-1β-stimulated ATDC5 cells. MiR-18a-3p overexpression inhibited secretion of inflammatory cytokines and concentration of matrix metalloproteinases, as shown by ELISA and western blotting. The binding relation between miR-18a-3p and pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase catalytic subunit 1 (PDP1) was detected by luciferase reporter assays. MiR-18a-3p targeted PDP1 and negatively regulated PDP1 expression. Results of rescue assays revealed that PDP1 upregulation reserved the suppressive effect of miR-18a-3p overexpression on levels of inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases in IL-1β-stimulated ATDC5 cells. H&E staining was used to observe pathological changes of synovial tissues in the knee joint of Wistar rats. Safranin O-fast green/hematoxylin was used to stain cartilage samples of knee joints. MiR-18a-3p overexpression suppressed OA progression in vivo. Overall, miR-18a-3p improves cartilage matrix remodeling and suppresses inflammation in OA by targeting PDP1.
