Long Noncoding RNA UFC1 Promotes Proliferation of Chondrocyte in Osteoarthritis by Acting as a Sponge for miR-34a

Abstract excerpt

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common prevalent chronic joint diseases. Emerging pieces of evidence have demonstrated that chondrocytes survival was closely associated with the destruction of joints in OA patients. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), defined as >200 nucleotides in length, also have been implicated in a variety of disease states. However, there are few studies on the role of lncRNAs in OA, and...
