LncRNA NEAT1 promotes proliferation of chondrocytes via down‐regulation of miR‐16‐5p in osteoarthritis

Abstract

The suppression of miR-16-5p, as mediated by NEAT1 overexpression, could promote proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of chondrocytes. It was also revealed that NEAT1 is a "double-edged sword" during the development of OA.
