Abstract:

miRNA are a small non-coding RNA (about 21 nucleotides in size) that regulate gene expression and play an important regulatory role in endochondral osteogenesis, maintenance of articular cartilage homeostasis and the disease progression of osteoarthritis. The study of chondrocyte specific miRNA and their target genes provides new insights into the pathogenesis of endochondral osteogenesis (such as skeletal development) and cartilage related diseases like osteoarthritis. As more and more miRNA′s role in the progression of osteoarthritis has been verified, the application of miRNA in the treatment of osteoarthritis has gradually become a focus of translational medicine research. This article focus on the role of chondrocytes-specific miRNA in bone development and osteoarthritis, and further elucidates the potential of miRNA for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Key words: MicroRNAs, Osteoarthritis, Genes, Endochondral ossification, Chondral homeostasis
