Dual functions of microRNA-17 in maintaining cartilage homeostasis and protection against osteoarthritis
4 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
Damaged hyaline cartilage has no capacity for self-healing, making osteoarthritis (OA) "difficult-to-treat". Cartilage destruction is central to OA patho-etiology and is mediated by matrix degrading enzymes. Here we report decreased expression of miR-17 in osteoarthritic chondrocytes and its deficiency contributes to OA progression. Supplementation of exogenous miR-17 or its endogenous induction by growth...
