Silencing of CircCDH13 could reduce chondrocyte apoptosis, inhibit ECM catabolism, and promote ECM anabolism through the miR-296-3p-PTEN pathway. It provides a potential target for developing effective interventions in treating OA.
Circular RNA CircCDH13 contributes to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis via CircCDH13/miR-296-3p/PTEN axis.
