Abstract:Objective To identify the effects of miR-31-5p on osteoarthritis chondrocytes.Methods Osteoarthritis models of rats were established according to Hulth method,and primary chondrocytes were isolated and treated by interleukin 1β (IL-1β).The expression of miR-31-5p was evaluated by qRT-PCR.The potential target of miR-31-5p was predicted by TargetScanHuman database,and verified by luciferase reporter assay.Effects of miR-31-5p on proliferation and apoptosis of primary chondrocytes were determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Flow Cytometry.Results The expression of miR-31-5p was downregulated in osteoarthritis models of rats.miR-31-5p mimics promoted proliferation of chondrocytes,and miR-31-5p inhibitor led to apoptosis of chondrocytes.Moreover,miR-31-5p inhibitor promoted expression of IL-6 and matrix metalloprotein 13 (MMP-13).Further investigation revealed Notch1 was the direct target of miR-31-5p,and Notch1 overexpression partially limited the protective role of miR-31-5p mimics in chondrocytes.Conclusion The downregulated miR-31-5p mediated apoptosis and limited proliferation of chondrocytes in osteoarthritis,which might contribute to pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.
