Abstract

Objective

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, in which matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 plays an important role. This study aimed to investigate miRNA-140-mediated negative regulation of MMP-13 expression in interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-stimulated human cartilage cells.

Methods

The human cartilage cell line C28/I2 was cultured in the presence of IL-1β to mimic an osteoarthritic environment. Expression of miRNA-140 and MMP-13 was analyzed after 48 h by real-time RT-PCR and western blot analyses. MiRNA-140 mediated regulation of MMP-13 expression was analyzed by luciferase reporter assays and anti-miRNA-140 oligonucleotide transfection. Furthermore, miRNA-140 and MMP-13 expression was analyzed following DHMEQ treatment.

Results

Expression of miRNA-140 and MMP-13 was elevated in IL-1β-stimulated C28/I2 cells. Bioinformatic prediction showed that the 3′-UTR of MMP-13 mRNA contained a potential binding miRNA-140 site and luciferase mRNA fused with 3′-UTR of MMP-13 mRNA was shown to be repressed by miRNA-140 in reporter assays. Expression of MMP-13 was elevated in IL-1β-stimulated C28/I2 cells following anti-miRNA-140 oligonucleotide transfection. NF-κB activity was inhibited in DHMEQ treated IL-1β-stimulated C28/I2 cells and was associated with decreased miRNA-140 and MMP-13 expression.

Conclusion

Expression of miRNA-140 and MMP-13 was induced by IL-1β. Expression of miRNA-140 inhibited MMP-13 in C28/I2 cells. Expression of miRNA-140 and MMP-13 was shown to be NF-κB-dependent.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
