Abstract
Objective Investigate the function and underlying mechanism of SMAD ubiquitination regulatory factor 1(SMURF1)in modulating the expression of µ-opioid receptor(OPRM1)via ubiquitina-tion,as well as its impact on chondrocyte damage in humans caused by interleukin-1 β(IL-1β).Methods The cells were divided into the following groups:Control group,IL-1[3-induced group(IL-1 β),empty vec-tor group(IL-1 β+oe/siNC),overexpression group(IL-1[3+oe-OPRM1),low expression group(IL-1 β+siSMURF1),and rescue experiment group(IL-1β+siSMURF1+siOPRM1).Real-time fluorescent quanti-tative PCR and immunoblotting experiments were conducted to detect the mRNA and protein expression lev-els of OPRM1 and SMURF1.MTT assays were used to assess cell viability.Flow cytometry was employed to detect apoptosis.The levels of oxidative stress and inflammation were detected by kits.Immunoprecipitati-on,co-immunoprecipitation,and cycloheximide chase experiments were performed to investigate the inter-action between OPRM1 and SMURF1.Result The cell viability in IL-1 β+siSMURF1 group was higher than that in IL-1 β+siNC group[(69.33±5.13)%vs.(38.33±5.86)%,t=6.89,P<0.05].The ap-optosis rate,oxidative stress and inflammation levels in IL-1 β+siSMURF1 group were lower than those in IL-1β+siNC group[(10.12±0.62)%vs.(15.28±1.16)%,(2.15±0.25)μm vs.(4.24±0.12)µm,(2.63±0.11)μm vs.(5.01±0.45)µm,(0.39+0.09)U/mg vs.(0.18+0.04)U/mg,(0.05±0.01)U/mg vs.(0.12±0.01)U/mg,(88.68±5.13)pg/ml vs.(135.33±10.21)pg/ml,(128.33±11.68)pg/ml vs.(265.33±24.95)pg/ml,t=6.82,12.85,12.17,8.84,7.07,8.62,P<0.05],The results of immunoprecipitation and co-immunoprecipitation showed that the level of OPRM1 ubiquitination in siSMURF1 group was higher than that in siNC group(196.32±8.15 vs.217.68±10.05,t=3.10,P<0.05).The results of cycloheximide experiment showed that the degradation rate of OPRM1 protein in siSMURF1 group was lower than that in siNC group at 6 h and 12 h(0.72±0.07 vs.0.47±0.10,0.64±0.06vs.0.25±0.035,t=3.71,9.85,P<0.05).Conclusion SMURF1 medi-ates IL-1 β-induced chondrocyte damage to alleviate osteoarthritis by regulating the expression of OPRM1 through ubiquitination.
