The study investigated the role of long non-coding RNA XIST in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), showing that down-regulation of XIST can inhibit synovial fibroblast proliferation by regulating the expression levels of miR-126-3p/NF-kappa B, thereby inhibiting the occurrence and progression of RA.
The role and mechanism of lncRNA XIST (XIST) in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was explored in this study. RT-qPCRs were performed to detect the expression of XIST and miR-126-3p in synovial tissues and cells. Target gene prediction and luciferase gene reporter assay were used to validate downstream target genes of XIST. MTT assay, EdU staining and Annexin V/PI staining were performed to explore the effects of XIST and miR-126-3p on cell proliferation and apoptosis. Western blotting analysis was used to detect the expression of related proteins. We found that the expression levels of XIST in tissues and cells were significantly higher than that in normal tissues and cells. Down-regulation of XIST could inhibit cell proliferation rate and increase apoptosis rate. Luciferase gene reporter assay showed that miR-126-3p was a downstream target gene of XIST. Overexpression of miR-126-3p significantly inhibited RA-FLS cell proliferation and induced RA-FLS cell apoptosis. In addition, down-regulation of XIST could increase the ratio of caspase-3 and Bax/Bcl-2. In addition, overexpression of miR-126-3p could inhibit the NF-kappa B signalling pathway by reducing the expression levels of p-p65 and p-I kappa B alpha in RA-FLS cells. In conclusion, down-regulation of XIST can inhibit the proliferation of synovial fibroblasts by increasing the expression levels of miR-126-3p/NF-kappa B, thereby inhibiting the occurrence and development of RA.
