Constructing a competing endogenous RNA network for osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common diseases in elderly people; however, the correlation between molecular alterations and the occurrence and progression of OA are still not well understood. We conducted this study to investigate the molecular changes in OA via the competing endogenous ribonucleic acid (ceRNA) network.

Methods

We downloaded the messenger RNA (mRNA) data set, GSE48556, the microRNA (miRNA) data set, GSE105027, and the long non-coding (lncRNA) data set, GSE126963 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and examined the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in these data sets. Further, we constructed a ceRNA network of the differentially expressed miRNAs, mRNAs, and lncRNAs. To determine the biological functions of the ceRNA networ
