Dysregulation of chondrogenic differentiation is associated with osteoarthritis (OA). The myokine irisin is beneficial in OA treatment; yet, the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as important regulators of chondrocyte differentiation. This study was conducted to address the role of lncRNAs in mediating irisin-induced chondrocyte differentiation.
