Cartilage matrix remodelling homeostasis is a crucial factor in maintaining cartilage integrity. Loss of cartilage integrity is a typical characteristic of osteoarthritis (OA). Strategies aimed at maintaining cartilage integrity have attracted considerable attention in the OA research field. Recently, a series of studies have suggested dual functions of microRNA-140 (miR-140) in cartilage matrix remodelling. Here, we discuss the significance of miR-140 in promoting cartilage formation and inhibiting degeneration. Additionally, we focused on the role of miR-140 in the chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Of note, we carefully reviewed recent advances in MSC exosomes for miRNA delivery in OA treatment.
