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...

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 that miR-3085 is a microRNA and to investigate the function of miR-3085 in signaling pathways relevant to cartilage homeostasis and osteoarthritis. Here, we confirm that miR-3085 is a microRNA and not another class of small RNA using (1) a pre-miR hairpin maturation assay, (2) expression levels in a Dicer null cell line, and (3) Ago2 pulldown. MicroRNA-3085-3p is expressed more highly in micromass than monolayer cultured chondrocytes. Transfection of miR-3085-3p into chondrocytes decreases expression of COL2A1 and ACAN, both of which are validated as direct targets of miR-3085-3p.
