The development of osteoarthritis (OA) involves subchondral bone lesions, but the role of osteoblastic autophagy-related genes (ARGs) in osteoarthritis is unclear. Through integrated analysis of single-cell dataset, Bulk RNA dataset, and 367 ARGs extracted from GeneCards, 40 ARGs were found. By employing multiple machine learning algorithms and PPI networks, three key genes (DDIT3, JUN, and VEGFA) were identified. Then the RF model constructed from these genes indicated great potential as a diagnostic tool. Furthermore, the model's effectiveness in predicting OA has been confirmed through external validation datasets. Moreover, the expression of ARGs was examined in osteoblasts subject to excessive mechanical stress, human and mouse tissues. Finally, the role of ARGs in OA was confirmed through co-culturing explants and osteoblasts. Thus, osteoblastic ARGs could be crucial in OA development, providing potential diagnostic and treatment strategies.

SCAPs (Stem Cells from Apical Papilla), derived from the apex of forming wisdom teeth, extracted from teenagers for orthodontic reasons, belong to the MSCs (Mesenchymal Stromal Cells) family. They have multipotent differentiation capabilities and are a potentially powerful model for investigating strategies of clinical cell therapies. Since autophagy-a regulated self-eating process-was proposed to be essential in osteogenesis, we investigated its involvement in the SCAP model.

This study employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate the role of immune-related autophagy in the mechanism of aseptic loosening (AL) of biomaterial bone-implant. Through single-cell analysis of AL tissues, we mapped the cellular landscape, revealing various cell types and their characteristics within the context of AL. Our study specifically targeted immune cell subpopulations, including macrophages and neutrophils.

Bone homeostasis primarily stems from the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, wherein an augmented number or heightened activity of osteoclasts is a prevalent etiological factor in the development of bone loss. Nuclear Dbf2-related kinase (NDR2), also known as STK38L, is a member of the Hippo family with serine/threonine kinase activity. We unveiled an upregulation of NDR2 expression during osteoclast differentiation.

The identification of both autophagy-related material degradation and unconventional secretion has paved the way for significant breakthroughs linking autophagy to a plethora of physiological processes and disease conditions. However, the mechanisms that coordinate these two pathways remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that a switch from the lysosomal degradation to a secretory autophagy pathway is governed by protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B, encoded by PTPN1).
