MicroRNA-145 has been shown to regulate chondrocyte homeostasis. It seems that miR-145 is implicated in cartilage dysfunction in Osteoarthritis (OA). However, the functional role of miR-145 in interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta)-induced extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation of OA cartilage has never been clarified. Here, we show that miR-145 expression increased in OA chondrocytes and in response to IL-1 beta stimulation. We confirm that mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (Smad3), a key factor in maintaining chondrocyte homeostasis, is directly regulated by miR-145. Modulation of miR-145 affects the expression of Smad3 causing a change of its downstream target gene expression as well as IL-1 beta-induced ECM degradation in OA chondrocytes. This indicates that miR-145 contributes to impaired ECM in OA cartilage probably in part via targeting Smad3. (C) 2014 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V.
