MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of noncoding small RNAs that act as negative regulators of gene expression. The miRNAs exhibit tissue-specific expression patterns and changes in their expression may contribute to pathogenesis. The objectives of this study were to identify miRNAs expressed in articular chondrocytes, determine changes in osteoarthritic cartilage and address the function of miR-140. To identify miRNAs specifically expressed in chondrocytes, we performed gene expression profiling using miRNA microarrays and quantitative PCR with human articular chondrocytes compared to human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). The expression pattern of miR-140 was monitored during chondrogenic differentiation of hMSC in pellet cultures and in human articular cartilage from normal and osteoarthritic knee joints. We tested effects of IL-1β on miR-140 expression. Double-strand (ds) miR-140 was transfected into chondrocytes to analyze changes in the expression of genes associated with osteoarthritis. Microarray analysis showed that miR-140 has the largest difference in expression between chondrocytes and MSC. During chondrogenesis cultures of MSC miR-140 expression increased in parallel with Sox9 and Col2a1. Normal human articular cartilage expressed miR-140 and this was significantly reduced in OA tissue. In vitro treatment of chondrocytes with IL-1β suppressed miR-140 expression. Transfection of chondrocytes with ds-miR-140 downregulated IL-1β-induced ADAMTS-5 expression and rescued the IL-1β –dependent repression of Aggrecan gene expression. This study shows that miR-140 has a chondrocyte differentiation-related expression pattern. The reduction in miR-140 expression in OA cartilage and in response to IL-1β may contribute to the abnormal gene expression pattern characteristic of OA.
