Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive and systemic autoimmune disease mainly characterized by symmetric multijoint synovitis. Quercetin has anti‑inflammatory, anti‑oxidation and immune regulation activities, and therefore shows high medicinal value. The present study aimed to observe the effect of quercetin on fibroblast‑like synoviocytes (FLSs) in RA. Rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast‑like synoviocytes (RAFLSs) were pretreated with 50 nmol/l quercetin for 2 h and were then stimulated using TNF‑α for 24 h for subsequent experiments. RAFLSs were transfected with short interfering (si)‑X‑inactive specific transcript (XIST), microRNA (miR)‑485 mimic, miR‑485 inhibitor or si‑PSMB8 or combination. ELISA, PCR and western blotting was used to evaluate the effect of quercetin on RAFLSs treated with TNF‑α. It was revealed that quercetin inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines and the expression of XIST in RAFLSs induced by TNF‑α. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that XIST acted as a sponge for miR‑485 and that proteasome subunit β type‑8 (PSMB8) was a direct target of miR‑485. Moreover, PSMB8 functioned as a suppressor in inflammatory cytokine production of RAFLSs induced by TNF‑α. Overall, quercetin was observed to inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines and the expression of XIST in RAFLSs induced by TNF‑α. Moreover, XIST‑silencing could suppress the inflammatory reaction by sponging miR‑485 in cells treated with TNF‑α. Altogether, quercetin could suppress the development of RA in vitro.
