Core Tip Our study demonstrates that a brief ex vivo priming of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with locked nucleic acid-antisense oligonucleotides targeting osteoarthritis-related microRNAs improved early chondrogenic programming. In rat MSC micromasses, the miR-30b-5p/miR-193b-3p combination produced higher Sox9 and Acan, lower Runx2, and stronger histological evidence of cartilage-like matrix than single inhibitors and controls. This transient, non-integrative strategy provides molecular fine-tuning of MSCs and has the potential to enhance the consistency and durability of MSC-based therapies for cartilage repair.
