摘要
Objectives To identify circulating micro-RNAs differentially expressed in patients with erosive hand osteoarthritis (HOA) compared to patients with non-erosive HOA and patients without HOA. Methods In the screening phase, 768 well-characterized micro-RNAs using Taqman low-density array cards were measured in 30 sera from 10 patients with erosive HOA, 10 patients with non-erosive HOA, and 10 controls without HOA, matched for age and body mass index (BMI). In a second step, we validated the micro-RNAs identified at the screening phase (adjusted p value < 0.05 after false discovery rate correction using Benjamini-Hochberg method and literature review) in larger samples (60 patients with erosive HOA and 60 patients without HOA matched for age and BMI). Results In the screening phase, we identified 21 down-regulated and 4 up-regulated micro-RNAs of interest between erosive HOA and control groups. Among these, 9 micro-RNAs (miR-373-3p, miR-558, miR-607, miR-653-5p, miR-137 and miR448 were down-regulated, and miR-142-3p, miR-144-3p and miR-34a-5p were up-regulated) were previously described in chondrocytes homeostasis or OA. We found only one significantly down-regulated micro-RNA between erosive and non-erosive HOA. In the validation phase, we showed replication of a single micro-RNA the significant downregulation of miR-196–5p, that had been previously identified in the screening phase among patients with erosive HOA compared to those without HOA.After reviewing the literature and the miRNA-gene interaction prediction model, we found that this microRNA could interact with bone homeostasis and HOXC8, which could explain its role in osteoarthritis. Conclusions We found that miR-196-5p was down-regulated in patients with erosive HOA and some of its targets could explain a role in OA.
