CircPan3 Promotes the Ghrelin System and Chondrocyte Autophagy by Sponging miR-667-5p During Rat Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis

This study aimed to investigate the potential roles of circRNAs in regulating osteoarthritis (OA)-related ghrelin synthesis, autophagy induction, and the relevant molecular mechanisms. Results showed that Col2a1, Acan, ghrelin, and autophagy-related markers expression were downregulated, while matri...
