Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) MIR22HG on proliferation,apoptosis and inflammatory response of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) and its molecular mechanism.
Methods:Synovial tissue samples were collected from 37 RA patients and 30 joint trauma patients in our hospital,and the expression levels of MIR22HG and miR-22-5p in synovial tissue were detected by qRT-PCR. RA-FLSs in human was isolated ,cultured and identified in vitro. MIR22HG siRNA interference plasmid (si-MIR22HG) and its negative control plasmid (si-NC) ,miR-22-5p inhibitor and its negative control (inhibitorNC) were transfected into RA-FLSs respectively or simultaneously.The expression levels of MIR22HG and miR- 22-5p were detected by qRT-PCR. CCK-8 was used to detect the proliferation activity of cells in various groups. Annexin Ⅴ- FITC / PI was used to detect the apoptosis rates of cells in various groups.ELISA was used to detect the levels of TNF-α , IL-1 β and IL-6 in the supernatant of cells in various groups.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of Bcl-2,Bax and Cleaved caspase-3 of cells in various groups.The targeting relationship between MIR22HG and miR-22-5p was verified by dual luciferase reporter gene assay.
Results :Compared with joint trauma patients,the expression level of MIR22HG in synovial tissues of RA patients increased (P<0. 05) , while the expression level of miR-22-5p decreased (P<0. 05) .Interference with MIR22HG inhibited the proliferation activity of RA-FLSs,decreased the levels of TNF-α , IL-1 β and IL-6 in cell supernatant and the protein expression level of Bcl-2 in cells (P<0. 05) ,and increased the apoptosis rate,the expression level of miR-22-5p and the protein expression levels of Bax and Cleaved casepase-3 (P <0. 05 ) .However,inhibition of miR-22-5p expression reversed the effects of MIR22HG gene silencing on proliferation,apoptosis and inflammation of RA-FLSs (P<0. 05) .Dual luciferase reporting assay showed that miR-22-5p was a potential downstream miRNA target of MIR22HG.
Conclusion: MIR22HG is highly expressed in synovial tissues of RA patients,and it may promote the proliferation and the inflammatory response of RA-FLSs and inhibit cell apoptosis by down regulating the expression of miR-22-5p.
