MicroRNA-29b Contributes to Collagens Imbalance in Human Osteoarthritic and Dedifferentiated Articular Chondrocytes

Table 1

Microarray screening of miRNAs in human IL-1β–stimulated chondrocytes. Total RNAs were isolated from “non-OA” human chondrocytes in primary culture challenged or not with 10 ng/ml of human recombinant interleukin-1β (hrIL1-β) for 48 h. Microarray analysis of miRNAs was performed with the miRCURY LNA Array 11.0 (Exiqon). Data are expressed as the ratio of chondrocyte miRNA levels measured in IL1-β over basal conditions. A/miRs being upregulated by more than 1.2-fold; B/miRs being downregulated by a factor lower than 0.8-fold. Values for miRNA levels are the median of 4 raw signal intensities.
