MiRNA-132 regulates the development of osteoarthritis in correlation with the modulation of PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOsteoarthritis (OA) is a commonly known prevalent joint disease, with limited therapeutic methods. This study aimed to investigate the functions of miRNA-132 (miR-132) in the modulation of PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in the development and progression of osteoarthritis.
methodsEight male osteoarthritic patients and eight healthy males were recruited. Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were used for cellular experiments. QRT-PCR was performed to detect the expression levels of miR-132, PTEN, PI3K and AKT. MTT assay and apoptosis assay were carried out to measure the cell proliferation rate and cell apoptosis rate, respectively. Western blotting was employed to detect the protein expression of related RNAs and inflammatory factors.
resultsIn osteoarthritic patients, the expression level of miR-132 was decreased, compared with that in the normal group. Over-expression of miR-132 elevated cell proliferation and decreased apoptosis of chondrocytes. Down-regulation of miR-132 decreased cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in chondrocytes. In addition, down-regulation of miR-132 promoted the expression of Bax protein and activated caspase-3/9, increased inflammation divisors. PTEN inhibitor antagonized the destructive effect of the miR-132 inhibitor on cell proliferation of chondrocytes. PI3K inhibitor increased the destructive effect of the miR-132 inhibitor on osteoarthritis.
conclusionIn conclusion, miR-132 is an important regulator of osteoarthritis in chondrocytes through the PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
