      摘要 目的:探讨长链非编码RNA(Long non-coding RNA,LncRNA)人母系表达基因(Maternally expressed gene 3,MEG3)对骨关节炎(osteoarthritis,OA)软骨细胞增殖和凋亡的影响及作用机制。方法:选取我院住院的OA患者和半月板损伤患者各40例,采用RT-PCR检测两组患者软骨组织和细胞中MEG3的表达。在OA软骨细胞中,转染siRNA- MEG3(si- MEG3)或过表达MEG3的慢病毒载体(LV- MEG3),采用CCK8法检测细胞增殖情况,流式细胞仪检测细胞周期和凋亡情况,RT-PCR和western blot检测PCNA、Dvl2、GSK-3β、cyclinD1和β-catenin mRNA和蛋白表达。结果:OA患者膝关节软骨组织中MEG3的表达水平明显低于半月板损伤患者软骨组织(P<0.05),同时OA软骨细胞中MEG3的表达水平明显低于正常软骨细胞(P<0.05)。OA软骨细胞转染si- MEG3后,细胞增殖能力和PCNA表达明显下降(P均<0.05),G0/G1期细胞比例明显升高(P<0.05),S期细胞比例明显下降(P<0.05),细胞凋亡率明显增加(P均<0.05)。低表达MEG3能够显著降低Dvl2、GSK-3β、cyclinD1和β-catenin mRNA和蛋白表达水平(P均<0.05),增加GSK-3β mRNA和蛋白表达水平(P均<0.05)。在OA软骨细胞转染LV- MEG3后,细胞增殖能力和PCNA表达明显升高(P均<0.05),G0/G1期细胞比例明显下降(P<0.05),S期细胞比例明显增加(P<0.05),细胞凋亡率明显减少(P均<0.05)。高表达MEG3能够显著增加OA软骨细胞中Dvl2、GSK-3β、cyclinD1和β-catenin mRNA和蛋白表达水平(P均<0.05),降低GSK-3β mRNA和蛋白表达(P均<0.05)。同时,采用XAV939阻滞Wnt/β-catenin信号通路能够显著逆转过表达MEG3对OA软骨细胞增殖和凋亡的影响。结论:MEG3在OA患者和软骨细胞中均显著低表达,并能够通过阻滞Wnt/β-catenin信号通路激活影响OA软骨细胞增殖和凋亡。MEG3可能成为OA治疗的重要靶分子。
英文摘要:
      ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the effects of Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) on osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocyte proliferation and apoptosis, and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: 40 patients with OA and 40 patients with meniscus injury in our hospital were selected. MEG3 expression in OA cartilage tissues and cells were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). After transfecting OA chondrocytes with si- MEG3 or LV- MEG3, cell proliferation was detected by the cell counting kit-8(CCK8) assay, cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry analysis, and PCNA, Dvl2, GSK-3β, cyclinD1 and β-catenin were detected by RT-PCR and western blotting. Results: The expression level of MEG3 in OA cartilage tissues was lower than that in patients with meniscus injury(P<0.05) and the expression level MEG3 in OA chondrocytes was lower than that in normal chondrocytes(P<0.05). Cell proliferation, and PCNA expression decreased significantly (P<0.05), the percentage of OA chondrocytes in G0/G1 significantly increased(P<0.05), the percentage of OA chondrocytes in the S phase significantly decreased(P<0.05), and apoptosis significantly increased(P<0.05) in OA chondrocytes transfected with si- MEG3 compared to those in the si-NC group. Down regulation of MEG3 decreased DVL2, cyclin D1, and β-catenin expression(P<0.05) and increased GSK-3β expression(P<0.05). Cell proliferation, and PCNA expression increased significantly(P<0.05), the percentage of OA chondrocytes in G0/G1 significantly decreased(P<0.05), the percentage of OA chondrocytes in the S phase significantly increased(P<0.05), and apoptosis significantly decreased(P<0.05) in OA chondrocytes transfected with LV- MEG3 compared to those in the LV-NC group. Up-regulation of MEG3 increased DVL2, cyclin D1, and β-catenin expression(P<0.05) and decreased GSK-3β expression(P<0.05). Meanwhile, the effects of overexpression MEG3 on OA chondrocyte proliferation and apoptosis were reversed by inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway by XAV939. Conclusion: MEG3 expression was down-regulated in both OA patients and chondrocytes, which could affect the proliferation and apoptosis in OA chondrocytes by blocking the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. MEG3 may become an important target molecule for OA treatment.
