Long non-coding RNA HCAR promotes endochondral bone repair by upregulating VEGF and MMP13 in hypertrophic chondrocyte through sponging miR-15b-5p
摘要
Abstract
Endochondral bone formation is an important route for bone repair. Although emerging evidence has revealed the functions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in bone and cartilage development
the effect of lncRNAs in endochondral bone repair is still largely unknown. Here
we identified a lncRNA
named Hypertrophic Chondrocyte Angiogenesis-related lncRNA (HCAR)
and proved it to promote the endochondral bone repair by upregulating the expression of matrix metallopeptidase 13 (Mmp13) and vascular endothelial growth factor α (Vegfa) in hypertrophic chondrocytes. Lnc-HCAR knockdown in hypertrophic chondrocytes restrained the cartilage matrix remodeling and decrease the CD31

vessels number in a bone repair model. Mechanistically
we proved that lnc-HCAR was mainly enriched in the cytoplasm using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay
and it acted as a molecular sponge for miR-15b-5p. Further
in hypertrophic chondrocytes
lnc-HCAR competitively bound to miR-15b-5p to increase Vegfa and Mmp13 expression. Our results proved that lncRNA is deeply involved in endochondral bone repair
which will provide a new theoretical basis for future strategies for promoting fracture healing.
