lncRNA OIP5-AS1 attenuates the osteoarthritis progression in IL-1β-stimulated chondrocytes

In view of the association between long noncoding RNA OIP5-AS1 and osteoarthritis (OA) pathology, the corresponding potential mechanism is worthy of exploration. Primary chondrocytes were identified by morphological observation and immunohistochemical staining of collagen II. The association between...

description In view of the association between long noncoding RNA OIP5-AS1 and osteoarthritis (OA) pathology, the corresponding potential mechanism is worthy of exploration. Primary chondrocytes were identified by morphological observation and immunohistochemical staining of collagen II. The association between OIP5-AS1 and miR-338-3p was analyzed by StarBase and dual-luciferase reporter assay. After the expression of OIP5-AS1 or miR-338-3p in interleukin (IL)-1β-stimulated primary chondrocytes and CHON-001 cells was manipulated, cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis rate, apoptosis-related protein (cleaved caspase-9, Bax) expressions, extracellular matrix (ECM) (matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3, MMP-13, aggrecan, and collagen II), PI3K/AKT pathway, and mRNA expressions of inflammatory factors (IL-6 and IL-8), OIP5-AS1, and miR-338-3p were determined by cell counting kit-8, EdU, flow cytometry, Western blot, and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. As a result, the expression of OIP5-AS1 was downregulated in IL-1β-activated chondrocytes, while miR-338-3p was overexpressed. OIP5-AS1 overexpression reversed the effects of IL-1β on viability, proliferation, apoptosis, ECM degradation, and inflammation in chondrocytes. However, OIP5-AS1 knockdown exhibited opposite effects. Interestingly, the effects of OIP5-AS1 overexpression were partially offset by miR-338-3p overexpression. Furthermore, OIP5-AS1 overexpression blocked the PI3K/AKT pathway by modulating miR-338-3p expression. In sum, OIP5-AS1 promotes viability and proliferation, and inhibits apoptosis and ECM degradation in IL-1β-activated chondrocytes by targeting miR-338-3p through blocking the PI3K/AKT pathway, indicating an attractive strategy for OA treatment.
