LncRNA RMRP promotes chondrocyte injury by regulating the FOXC1/RBP4 axis

Central European Journal of Immunology
The main pathological feature of osteoarthritis (OA) is chondrocyte injury. LncRNA mitochondrial RNA processing endoribonuclease (RMRP) has been shown to be a chondrogenic differentiation factor. This study aimed to explore the role of RMRP in chondrocyte injury.Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and TUNEL assays were used to determine lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
