Long non-coding RNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 and growth arrest specific 5 regulate each other in osteoarthritis to regulate the apoptosis of chondrocytes.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) and growth arrest specific 5 (GAS5) have opposite functions in the apoptosis of chondrocytes, which are involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). The opposite roles of PVT1 and GAS5 in OA may indicate the existence of crosstalk between them in OA. This study aimed to explore the possible interaction between PVT1 and GAS5 in OA. Accumulation of PVT1 and GAS5 in OA and control synovial fluid samples was measured by RT-qPCR. The interaction between PVT1 and GAS5 in chondrocytes was explored by overexpression experiments. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to analyze the binding of PVT1 and GAS5 to each other's promoter regions. Regulatory roles of PVT1 and GAS5 in the apoptosis of chondrocytes were s
