Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic musculoskeletal disease and often causes impaired joint mobility and disability. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in OA development. This study was done to explore the role and mechanism of the lncRNA AC005165.1 in the cell model of interleukin-1β (IL)-1β-treated chondrocytes. This study recruited 20 surgically treated OA patients and 12 age- and gender-matched controls. Real-time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to examine the expression levels of AC005165.1, miR-199a-3p, and thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) in articular cartilage of patients and IL-1β-treated human chondrocytes. Cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated by cell counting kit‐8 and flow cytometry assays, respectively. The protein levels of inflammatory cytokines were assessed by western blotting. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay was conducted to detect the concentrations of the inflammatory cytokines in chondrocytes. Luciferase reporter assay and Pearson’s correlation analysis were used for analyzing the interaction and the correlation among AC005165.1, miR-199a-3p, and TXNIP. AC005165.1 expression was downregulated in cartilage of OA patients and chondrocytes treated with IL-1β, compared to that in the control groups. AC005165.1 knockdown increased apoptosis and aggravated inflammatory response in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes. AC005165.1 interacted with miR-199a-3p, and TXNIP was targeted by miR-199a-3p. In rescue assay, miR-199a-3p knockdown and TXNIP overexpression significantly reduced apoptosis and mitigated inflammatory response in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes with AC005165.1 knockdown. AC005165.1 knockdown promoted apoptosis and inflammatory response in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes via the miR-199a-3p/TXNIP axis.
