Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the function of microRNA-138 (miR-138) in human articular chondrocytes (HACs). METHODS: The expression of miR-138 in intact cartilage and cultured chondrocytes and the effects of miR-138 overexpression on chondrocyte marker genes were investigated. Targets of miR-138 relevant to chondrocytes were identified and verified by overexpression of synthetic miRNA mimics and inhibitors,...
