    Abstract:
    Previous studies have reported miR-217 uregulation in age-related pathologies. We investigated the impact of miR-217-5p on sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) regulation in human osteoarthritic (OA) chondrocytes. MiR-217 target enrichment analyses were performed using three public databases, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. MiR-217-5p expression levels were quantified in normal and OA chondrocytes. SIRT1 expression levels, nuclear factor kappa-B p65 subunit (NF-κBp65) and p53 acetylation levels, and expression levels of OA-related pro-inflammatory markers [tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6], pro-apoptotic markers [Bax, pro-caspase 3, cleaved caspase 3] and matrix regulators [matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, MMP-13, MMP-9, Collagen 2 (COL2A1), Aggrecan (ACAN)] were evaluated in miR-217 mimic-treated and/or miR-217 inhibitor-treated OA chondrocytes, with/without subsequent treatment with siRNA against SIRT1 (siSIRT1). MiR-217-5p was upregulated in OA chondrocytes, while target prediction/enrichment analyses revealed SIRT1 as miR-217 target-gene. Deacetylation of NF-κBp65 and p53 in miR-217 inhibitor-treated OA chondrocytes was reversed by siSIRT1 treatment. MiR-217 inhibitor-treated OA chondrocytes showed increased COL2A1, ACAN and decreased IL-1β, IL-6, TNFα, Bax, cleaved caspase 3 and MMPs expression levels, which were reversed following miR-217 inhibitor/siSIRT1 treatment. Our findings highlight the impact of miR-217-5p on SIRT1 downregulation contributing to OA pathogenesis.
