The regulation of PVT1 on chondrocytes depends on the regulation of the miR-497/AKT3 axis. (A) MTT assay indicated that transfection of either miR-497-inhibitor or sh-AKT3 reversed the effects of si-PVT1 transfection on the proliferation of IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. (B) FCM revealed that transfection of either miR-497 inhibitor or sh-AKT3 reversed the effects of si-PVT1 transfection on apoptotic rates of IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. (C) WB analysis revealed that transfection of either miR-497-inhibitor or sh-AKT3 reversed the effects of transfection of si-PVT1 on aggrecan, collagen, and MMP-9 expressions in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (mean ± SD); n = 24; *P < .05 versus IL-1β + si-NC group; #P < .05 versus IL-1β + si-PVT1 + miR-497 inhibitor group; $P < .05 versus IL-1β + si-PVT1 + sh-AKT3 group. IL-1β = Interleukin-1 beta, PVT1 = plasmacytoma variant translocation 1.
