The expression of miR-103a-3p in cartilage tissues from the OA rat model and chondrocytes treated with LPS. (A) Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to detect the expression of miR-103a- 3p in cartilage tissues from the OA rat model. Normal rats without treatment were used as the control. ***p < 0.001, as compared with normal; (B) Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to detect the expression of miR-103a-3p in chondrocytes treated with LPS. PBS treatment was used as control. ***p < 0.001, as compared with co
