The role of microRNA-3085 in chondrocyte function

Abstract MicroRNAs have been shown to play a role in cartilage development, homeostasis and breakdown during osteoarthritis. We previously identified miR-3085 in humans as a chondrocyte-selective microRNA, however it could not be detected by Northern blot. The aim of the current study was to prove t...

MyD88 has been shown to be a direct target of miR-3085-3p and may be responsible for the early inhibition of NFκB signaling.

description Abstract MicroRNAs have been shown to play a role in cartilage development, homeostasis and breakdown during osteoarthritis.
