BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one kind of degenerative joint disease that happens in articular cartilage and other joint tissues. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to serve as pivotal regulators in many diseases, including OA. However, the role and relevant regulatory mechanisms of CASC19 in OA remain unknown.
METHODS: The expression levels of CASC19, miR-152-3p, and DDX6 were identified by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell viability and apoptosis were determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry assays, respectively. The relationship between miR-152-3p and CASC19 or DDX6 was predicted by bioinformatics tools and verified by the dual-luciferase reporter assay.
RESULTS: CASC19 was verified to exhibit higher expression in OA tissues and cells. Moreover, inhibition of CASC19 weakened proinflammatory cytokine (IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α) production and cell apoptosis but facilitated cell viability. Experiments of the ceRNA mechanism elucidated that miR-152-3p was a sponge for CASC19, and miR-152-3p targeted DDX6, suggesting that CASC19 sponged miR-152-3p to release DDX6. Finally, results from rescue assays proved that the impacts of CASC19 silencing on chondrocytes apoptosis and proinflammatory cytokine production could be reversed by DDX6 overexpression.
CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that lncRNA CASC19 accelerated chondrocytes apoptosis and proinflammatory cytokine production to exacerbate osteoarthritis development through regulating the miR-152-3p/DDX6 axis. These findings may offer an effective biological target for OA treatment.
