To explore the mechanism of hsa_circ_0134111 regulating micro RNA-103a/Smad7 axis in chondrocyte degeneration in osteoarthritis. Human chondrocytes (HUM-CO-013) were cultured in vitro and divided into si-control group and si-circ_0134111 group. Chondrocytes were induced by monoiodoacetate to establish osteoarthritis injury model, the apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry, the expression of micro RNA-103a and Smad7 messenger RNA in osteoarthritis chondrocytes were detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; the targeting relationship between hsa_circ_0134111 and micro RNA-103a was detected by double luciferase report test. The contents of malondialdehyde, L-lactate dehydrogenase and glutathione peroxidase were detected by kit and the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins (B-cell lymphoma 2, B-cell lymphoma 2-associated protein x), collagen II, matrix metalloproteinase 13 and Smad7 in osteoarthritis chondrocytes were detected by Western Blot method. The apoptosis rate of osteoarthritis chondrocytes in si-circ_0134111 group was reduced than si-control group and the micro RNA-103a and Smad7 messenger RNA in osteoarthritis chondrocytes in si-circ_0134111 group were decreased than si-control group. Micro RNA-103a could reduce the activity of wild-type circ0134111 luciferase reporter gene, but had no effect on MUT-circ0134111. The contents of malondialdehyde and L-lactate dehydrogenase in osteoarthritis chondrocytes in si-circ_0134111 group decreased and the content of glutathione peroxidase increased, while the contents of B-cell lymphoma 2 and collagen II in osteoarthritis chondrocytes in si-circ_0134111 group increased, while the contents of B-cell lymphoma 2-associated protein x, matrix metalloproteinase 13 and Smad7 decreased compared with si-control group. Hsa_circ_0134111 can participate in osteoarthritis chondrocyte degeneration through micro RNA-103a/Smad7 axis and has_circ_0134111/micro RNA-103a/Smad7 axis may be a new regulatory mechanism and therapeutic target for osteoarthritis.
