Abstract Background: Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is an end-stage disease that seriously affects
the patients’ quality of life. Molecular insights in advancing our understanding of TMJOA are the need of the hour.
Methods: We performed RNA high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of differentially expressed
(DE) long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and messenger RNA (mRNAs) in human synovial
TMJOA tissues. Firstly, synovium samples of TMJOA patients and non-TMJOA controls were collected for highthroughput sequencing of lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs. We then performed biological function analysis of the top
100 mRNAs with more than 2-fold differential expression, and… More >
