| Core Tip |
In osteoarthritis (OA) and its associated risk factors, elevated microRNA-155 (miR-155) regulates systemic and local joint inflammatory mediators, extracellular matrix degradation, and chondrocyte apoptosis, with context-dependent roles in cartilage repair. MiR-155 also shows promise as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker. Metformin exerts cartilage-protective effects via adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase activation, nuclear factor kappa-B inhibition, and possible modulation of miR-155 expression. Combined miR-155-targeted strategies and metformin in OA could enhance anti-inflammation, cartilage-preservation, and joint regeneration through the development of innovative treatments, including novel articular delivery systems and cell-based therapies. Further research is needed to fully understand the molecular underpinnings of this relationship. |
