MiR-375 Mediates Chondrocyte Metabolism and Oxidative Stress in Osteoarthritis Mouse Models through the JAK2/STAT3 Signaling Pathway.

Objective: The aim of this work was to determine the effect of miR-375 on chondrocyte metabolism and oxidative stress in osteoarthritis (OA) mouse models through the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Methods: Chondrocytes were divided into control, IL-1β, IL-1β + miR-375 mimic, IL-1β + miR-375 inhibitor, IL-1β + miR-NC (negative control), and IL-1β + miR-375 inhibitor + siJAK2 groups. The chondrocyte proliferation was determined by MTT assay, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels by corresponding kits, and the chondrocyte apoptosis by TUNEL staining.

TET1 partially mediates HDAC inhibitor-induced suppression of breast cancer invasion.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are important in chromatin remodeling and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have highly effective anti-metastatic and anti-angiogenic activity in various types of cancer, while the molecular mechanisms involved in this process are not fully understood. In the present study, trichostatin A (TSA), a HDACi, was found to suppress MCF-7 breast carcinoma cell invasion and upregulate TET1 expression in a dose-dependent manner.
