Project description:BackgroundThe infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) and synovium are reported to act as a functional unit, with emerging roles in the pathophysiology of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of KOA, especially in cartilage homeostasis regulation. Nevertheless, the regulatory mechanisms of circRNAs in the KOA IPFP/synovium unit remain to be elucidated. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate alterations in the expression of circRNAs and predict their functions in the KOA IPFP/synovium unit using bioinformatics analysis.MethodsIn brief, 6 synovium and IPFP specimens were collected, in which 3 from patients with KOA and 3 from controls. Then, circRNA sequencing was conducted on 2 KOA synovium and IPFP specimens as well as 1 control to investigate the expression profiles of circRNAs. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Reactome signaling pathway analyses were employed to predict the functions of the differentially expressed circRNAs. Based on the miRNA sponge theory, we constructed a circRNA-miRNA network to predict the molecular regulatory mechanism of these circRNAs. Venn analysis was performed to confirm the circRNAs and miRNAs expressed in both synovium and IPFP. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was also used to validate the expression levels of circRNAs that were co-expressed in both synovium and IPFP.ResultsA total of 65 and 72 circRNAs were differentially expressed in KOA synovium and IPFP, respectively (fold change ≥2, P<0.05). After obtaining the parental genes of differentially expressed circRNAs, the top 10 enrichment GO entries, KEGG pathways, and Reactome pathways were annotated. Furthermore, hsa_circ_0005265 was found to be down-regulated in both synovium and IPFP, which was validated by qRT-PCR. The circRNA-miRNA network was created to annotate the probable regulatory mechanisms of the differentially expressed circRNAs, which consequently confirmed 2 target miRNAs (hsa-miR-6769b-5p and hsa-miR-1249-5p) associated with hsa_circ_0005265 in both synovium and IPFP.ConclusionsOur outcomes bring us closer to understanding the potential mechanism of the IPFP/synovium unit in the progression of KOA and finding new molecular targets for KOA therapy.
