The outcomes demonstrated that miR-197 appearance was considerably down-regulated in the OA cartilage tissue compared with regular cartilage tissue, followed by up-regulation of EIF4G2 appearance. An inverse relationship was discovered between EIF4G2 and miR-197 expressions in OA cartilage tissue. Treatment with miR-197 mimics marketed the development and migration skills of chondrocytes, while miR-197 inhibitors induced the contrary effects. Furthermore, recovery of miR-197 reduced IL-1, IL-6, and TNF- appearance, whereas knockdown of miR-197 resulted in a induction in these inflammatory mediators. Furthermore, EIF4G2 was confirmed and predicted being a directly focus on of miR-197. Overexpressed miR-197 could down-regulate EIF4G2 appearance in chondrocytes, while miR-197 knockdown could elevate EIF4G2 appearance. Additionally, EIF4G2 overexpression reversed the consequences of miR-197 mimics on chondrocytes proliferation, migration, and irritation. Taken jointly, our study showed that miR-197 promotes chondrocyte proliferation, boosts migration, and inhibits irritation in the pathogenesis of OA by concentrating on EIF4G2, indicating the therapeutic targets from the miR-197/EIF4G2 axis for OA treatment. significantly less than 0.05 was considered to significant statistically.

The performance of miR-197 overexpression and knockdown in chondrocytes was proven in Amount 2A (P<0.001). Through the use of MTT assay, we discovered that overexpression of miR-197 marketed the proliferation of chondrocytes obviously, while down-regulation of miR-197 considerably suppressed chondrocytes development (Amount 2B, P<0.001). Likewise, miR-197 mimics facilitated the migration of chondrocytes, while miR-197 inhibitors induced the contrary effects (Amount 2C, P<0.001). Furthermore, we analyzed the difference in cell inflammation after miR-197 knockdown and overexpression by ELISA assay.

The expression of EIF4G2 was regulated by miR-197 in chondrocytes To investigate the molecular mechanism of miR-197 in pathogenesis of OA, the potential target genes of miR-197 were predicted using TargetScanHuman 7.2 (http://www.targetscan.org/vert_72/), miRBase (http://www.mirbase.org/), and microRNA.org (http://www.microrna.org/microrna/). The EIF4G2 gene with high binding scores was selected from the overlapping gene set. The 3-UTR sequences of EIF4G2 mRNA (UGGUGA) had a complementary binding site for miR-197 (ACCACU) (Physique 3A). Subsequently, we conducted quantitative real-time PCR analysis and Western blotting to detect the effects of miR-197 overexpression and knockdown on EIF4G2 expression in chondrocytes. In chondrocytes, overexpressed miR-197 significantly down-regulated EIF4G2 mRNA and protein expression in chondrocytes (Physique 3B, P<0.001), while miR-197 suppression strongly elevated EIF4G2 mRNA and protein expression (Figure 3C, P<0.001).
