Long Non-coding RNA RASSF8-AS1 Promotes M1 Macrophage Polarization in Osteoarthritis via Moderating miR-27a-3p.
Long non-coding RNAs are major regulators in the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA), which involves the dysfunction of cartilage and synovium. The aim of this study was, therefore, to discover the role of RASSF8-AS1 in cartilage degradation and M1 macrophage polarization during OA. Healthy and OA cartilage and synovium were collected. After measuring RASSF8-AS1 levels in tissues and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- or IL-1β-induced cells, the role of RASSF8-AS1 in the expression of cartilage degradation markers and M1 macrophage molecules was assessed in vitro. The apoptotic rate of IL-1β-stimulated chondrocytes, with or without RASSF8-AS1 overexpression, was quantified using flow cytometry. RASSF8-AS1 was significantly upregulated not only in cartilage and synovium from OA patients, but also in IL-1β- or LPS-induced cells, compared to normal controls. A decrease in RASSF8-AS1 level increased the expression of chondrogenic markers, but reduced the expression of genes encoding matrix-degrading proteases, thereby reducing cell apoptosis. Downregulation of RASSF8-AS1 reduced the M1 macrophage markers in RAW264.7 cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages. RASSF8-AS1 may be a ceRNA for miR-27a-3p. These findings support the role of RASSF8-AS1 as a promoting factor of cartilage degradation and M1 macrophage polarization in OA.
期刊介绍:
Our mission is to publish peer-reviewed papers in all branches of medical sciences including basic medicine, social medicine, clinical medicine, nursing sciences and disaster-prevention science, and to present new information of exceptional novelty, importance and interest to a broad readership of the TJEM.
The TJEM is open to original articles in all branches of medical sciences from authors throughout the world. The TJEM also covers the fields of disaster-prevention science, including earthquake archeology. Case reports, which advance significantly our knowledge on medical sciences or practice, are also accepted. Review articles, Letters to the Editor, Commentary, and News and Views will also be considered. In particular, the TJEM welcomes full papers requiring prompt publication.
