Long non-coding RNA XIST promotes extracellular matrix degradation by functioning as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-1277-5p in osteoarthritis
12 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and troublesome disease among the elderly, and is characterized by extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. The function of the long non‑coding RNA X‑inactive‑specific transcript (XIST) and its working mechanism in ECM degradation remains unclear. In the present study, XIST was revealed to be upregulated in OA specimens and in articular chondrocytes (ACs) derived from OA tissue...
