MicroRNA-320c inhibits articular chondrocytes proliferation and induces apoptosis by targeting mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1).

miR-320c inhibits articular chondrocyte proliferation and induces apoptosis by targeting MAPK1, suggesting that miR-320c perhaps participates in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and acts as a potential target for the therapeutic treatment of osteoarthritis.
