Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as important mediators of intercellular communication in response to cartilage damage. In this study, we sought to characterize the inhibitory role of microRNA (miR)-31 encapsulated in synovial MSC (SMSC)-derived EVs in knee osteoarthritis (OA). The expression of miR-31, lysine demethylase 2A (KDM2A), E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1), and pituitary tumor transforming gene 1 (PTTG1) was validated in cartilage tissues of knee OA patients. Following SMSC-EV extraction and identification, chondrocytes with the miR-31 inhibitor were added with SMSC-EVs, whereupon the effects of miR-31 on proliferation and migration of chondrocytes were assessed. The interaction among miR-31, KDM2A, E2F1, and PTTG1 in chondrocyte activities was probed in vitro, along with an in vivo mouse knee OA model. We identified downregulated miR-31, E2F1, and PTTG1 and upregulated KDM2A in cartilage tissues of knee OA patients. SMSC-EV-packaged miR-31 potentiated chondrocyte proliferation and migration as well as cartilage formation by targeting KDM2A. Mechanistically, KDM2A bound to the transcription factor E2F1 and inhibited its transcriptional activity. Enrichment of E2F1 in the PTTG1 promoter region activated PTTG1 transcription, accelerating chondrocyte proliferation and migration. SMSC-EVs and EVs from miR-31-overexpressed SMSCs alleviated cartilage damage and inflammation in knee joints in vivo. SMSC-EV-encapsulated miR-31 ameliorates knee OA via the KDM2A/E2F1/PTTG1 axis.
