Abstract
- • miR-182-5p downregulated the expression of TNFAIP8. • Overexpression of miR-182-5p improved cell viability and wound healing ability. • miR-182-5p targeted TNFAIP8 and regulated chondrocyte apoptosis and autophagy pathways. • ATG3 blocked the autophagy and apoptosis pathways induced through upregulation of TNFAIP8. • Exosome-derived miR-182-5p alleviated osteoarthritis by downregulating TNFAIP8. To investigate the role of exosomal miRNAs from synovial fluid (SF) in osteoarthritis (OA) patients and investigate the underlying molecular mechanism. Degenerated knee tissues were collected from male and female OA patients. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the differences in the expression of inflammatory indicators, including TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10, between the degenerative and injury groups. Exosomes were isolated from SF using the Exoquick kit, and a microarray was used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs), which were analyzed using bioinformatics. The predicted relationship between DEmiRNAs and target genes was verified using a luciferase reporter gene assay. CCK-8 and transwell assays were used to assess cell viability and migration. Immunofluorescence and TUNEL assay were used to detect cell autophagy and apoptosis. The interaction between proteins was detected by immunoprecipitation and verified by Mab rescue assay. The relative expression of TNF-α/IL6 was significantly higher in the degeneration group than in the injury group. The OA degeneration group released significantly more and smaller exosomes than the injury group. The expression of miR-182-5p was markedly reduced in OA patients and had a higher correlation with inflammatory indicators. Tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) was a target of miR-182-5p, and its overexpression promoted chondrocyte proliferation, migration, and invasion and enhanced the wound healing efficiency. We also found a direct interaction of TNFAIP8 with autophagy-related gene 3 (ATG3). TNFAIP8 triggered ATG3 LC3-mediated autophagy. The downregulation of exosomal miR-182-5p inhibits OA degeneration by targeting TNFAIP8 via the ATG/LC3 pathway. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
