Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic and chronic inflammatory disease. Synoviocyte migration and invasion were found to be essential to the pathology of RA. Upregulation of long noncoding RNA ZFAS1 has been observed in cancers and promotes cell migration and invasion. To date, the functions and mechanisms of ZFAS1 in RA have not been revealed. In this study, we analyzed expression pattern of ZFAS1 in RA patients and found that ZFAS1 expression was increased in synovial tissue and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from RA patients (RA-FLS) compared with that in healthy donors. Functional assays showed that silence of ZFAS1 suppressed RA-FLS migration and invasion, while overexpression of ZFAS1 showed the opposite effect. Further investigation demonstrated that ZFAS1 directly interacted with miR-27a and decreased miR-27a expression. ZFAS1 promotes RA-FLS migration and invasion in an miR-27a-dependent manner. Taken together, the present study provides the first evidence that ZFAS1 promotes cell migration and invasion through miR-27a in RA-FLS, suggesting that ZFAS1 may be an effective therapeutic target for RA patients.
