INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect and detailed mechanisms of morin, an anti‐arthritis compound widely distributed in foods of plant origin, on the pathological migration of fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS). METHODS AND RESULTS: The migration of FLS collected from arthritis rats and MH7A cells is induced by platelet‐derived growth factor, and an arthritis model in rats is established by Freund's complete adjuvant. The results show that morin remarkably restrains FLS migration but slightly affects FLS apoptosis and proliferation. Moreover, in the progression of FLS migration, focal adhesion (FA) turnover is inhibited by morin via lowering the activation of Paxillin and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and internalization of integrin β1. Morin disrupts the formation of mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2) and the activation of AKT (S473) and PKCα (S657), and MHY1485 reverses morin‐limited FLS migration. Of note, the protein stability of Prickle1, a binding factor of Rictor, is reduced by morin, and MG132 but not Baf A1 shows a repressive effect. Finally, the target protein is identified as ubiquitin‐specific protease 7 (USP7) but not USP9X. USP7 overexpressing plasmid weakens morin‐affected protein and ubiquitination of Prickle1, and mechanisms are confirmed in vivo by using an overexpressing plasmid and inhibitor. CONCLUSION: Morin restricts FLS migration and arthritis by intervening in “USP7‐Prickle1‐mTORC2” signaling and FA turnover.
