Purpose: Subchondral bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are present in a wide range of pathologies with different prognoses. Thus, a careful diagnosis is mandatory to address them with the proper treatment. The aim of this review was to examine BMLs aetiology and their relationship with biomechanical and biological factors, to identify BMLs and help clinicians to properly recognize and treat each of these common alterations.

Therapeutic blockade of CCL17 in obesity-exacerbated osteoarthritic pain and disease.

PLoS One

January 2025

Faculty of Medicine Dentistry and Health Sciences, Department of Medicine, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Melbourne Medical School, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia.

Objectives: We previously reported that CCL17 gene-deficient mice are protected from developing pain-like behaviour and exhibit less disease in destabilization of medial meniscus (DMM)-induced OA, as well as in high-fat diet (HFD)-exacerbated DMM-induced OA. Here, we explored if therapeutic neutralization of CCL17, using increasing doses of a neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb), would lead to a dose-dependent benefit in these two models.

Design: DMM-induced OA was initiated in male mice either fed with a control diet (7% fat) or 8 weeks of a 60% HFD, followed by therapeutic intraperitoneal administration (i.

Fasting activates optineurin-mediated mitophagy in chondrocytes to protect against osteoarthritis.

Commun Biol

January 2025

Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Autophagy and Major Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases, Key Laboratory of Prevention and Management of Chronic Kidney Disease of Zhanjiang City, Institute of Nephrology, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University, Zhanjiang, 524001, Guangdong, China.

Mitochondrial homeostasis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic musculoskeletal disorder characterized by articular cartilage degeneration and chondrocyte apoptosis. However, molecular mechanisms underlying the association between mitophagy and OA remain unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of the autophagy receptor protein optineurin (OPTN) in OA, and explore the effects of dietary intervention on OA symptoms and its relationship with OPTN-mediated mitophagy.

DNA methylation, catalyzed by DNA methyltransferases (DNMT), plays pivotal role in regulating embryonic development, gene expression, adaption to environmental stress, and maintaining genome integrity. DNMT family consists of DNMT1, DNMT3A, DNMT3B, and the enzymatically inactive DNMT3L. DNMT3A and DNMT3B establish novel methylation patterns maintained by DNMT1 during replication.

The Causal Effects of Lifestyle Factors on Osteoarthritis: A Two-sample Mendelian Randomisation Study.

Curr Rheumatol Rev

January 2025

Division of Trauma and Orthopaedics, Department of Surgery, University of Cambridge, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK.

Background: Modern sedentary lifestyles are prevalent among individuals with osteoarthritis. However, direct evidence linking such behaviours as causative factors of osteoarthritis remain limited due to the presence of confounding variables.

Objective: This study aims to determine the extent to which lifestyle factors have causal effects on osteoarthritis through a two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) study.
