Abstract Background Synovial fibroblasts (SFs) with the abnormal expressions of miRNAs are the key regulator in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Low-expressed miR-140-3p was found in RA tissues. Therefore, we attempted to investigate the effect of miR-140-3p on SFs of RA. Methods RA and normal synovial fibrous tissue were gathered. The targets of miR-140-3p were found by bioinformatics and luciferase analysis. Correlation between the expressions of miR-140-3p with sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. After transfection, cell viability and apoptosis were detected by cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry. The expressions of miR-140-3p, SIRT3, Ki67, Bcl-2, Bax, and cleaved Caspase-3 were detected by RT-qPCR or western blot. Results Low expression of miR-140-3p and high expression of SIRT3 were found in RA synovial fibrous tissues. SIRT3 was a target of miR-140-3p. SIRT3 expression was negatively correlated to the expression of miR-140-3p. MiR-140-3p mimic inhibited the MH7A cell viability and the expressions of SIRT3, Ki67, and Bcl-2 and promoted the cell apoptosis and the expressions of Bax and cleaved Caspase-3; miR-140-3p inhibitor showed an opposite effect to miR-140-3p mimic on MH7A cells. SIRT3 overexpression not only promoted the cell viability and inhibited cell apoptosis of MH7A cells but also reversed the effect of miR-140-3p mimic had on MH7A cells. Conclusions The results in this study revealed that miR-140-3p could inhibit cell viability and promote apoptosis of SFs in RA through targeting SIRT3.
