| Description: |
In an IL-1beta-induced osteoarthritis-like human chondrocyte model, circ_0020093 is down-regulated and functions protectively by reducing apoptosis and extracellular matrix degradation. Mechanistically, circ_0020093 sponges miR-23b to relieve repression of SPRY1, forming a circ_0020093/miR-23b/SPRY1 axis. |
