    Abstract:
    Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease. Increased apoptosis of chondrocytes contributes to cartilage degradation in OA pathogenesis. The function of lncRNA MCM3AP-AS1 in regulating the viability of chondrocytes still awaits further elaboration. In this work, MCM3AP-AS1, miR-138-5p and SIRT1 mRNA expression levels in OA and normal cartilage tissues were detected by qRT-PCR. Besides, chondrocyte cell lines, CHON-001 and ATDC5 induced by interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were used to initiate the inflammatory response environment of OA. CCK-8 assay was used to examine the cell multiplication; meanwhile, transwell assay was utilized to detect migration. Western blot was adopted to determine SIRT1 expression in chondrocyte. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to evaluate inflammatory factor levels. In addition, the binding sites between MCM3AP-AS1 and miR-138-5p, miR-138-5p and 3'UTR of SIRT1 were validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RIP assay or RNA pull-down assay. It was found that MCM3AP-AS1 was declined in OA cartilage tissues, positively interrelated with SIRT1 expression while negatively correlated with miR-138-5p. MCM3AP-AS1 up-regulation enhanced the viability and migration of CHON-001 and ATDC5 cells while restraining the apoptosis and inflammatory response. Additionally, miR-138-5p overexpression counteracted the effects on chondrocytes caused by MCM3AP-AS1 overexpression. MCM3AP-AS1 could adsorb miR-138-5p, and SIRT1 was verified as a target of miR-138-5p, and SIRT1 could be up-regulated by overexpression of MCM3AP-AS1 indirectly. In conclusion, MCM3AP-AS1 has the potential to be the 'ceRNA' to regulate miR-138-5p and SIRT1 in chondrocytes, and to participate in the pathogenesis of OA.
