A current review of molecular mechanisms regarding osteoarthritis and pain

Abstract: Osteoarthritis afflicts millions of individuals across the world resulting in impaired quality of life and increased health costs. To understand this disease, physicians have been studying risk factors, such as genetic predisposition, aging, obesity, and joint malalignment; however have been unable to conclusively determine the direct etiology. Current treatment options are short-term or ineffective and fail to address pathophysiological and biochemical mechanisms involved with cartilage degeneration and the i… Show more

“…In the chronic inflammatory process, such as the OA, cells were under pressure and produced cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) which can cause damage to cells and phospholipids membrane release [14]. In structural components, IL-1 plays an important role in cartilage degradation [16].…”

“…It plays an important role in cartilage degradation and stimulation of nociceptive pathways. This mediator shows potent bioactivity in inhibiting synthesis of extracellular matrix (ECM), promoting cartilage damage, and suppressing the expression of an important component of ECM in chondrocytes [16].…”

“…2) Although various studies on the pathophysiological etiologies of OA are ongoing, many of the factors causing this disease are still unknown. Hence, clinical treatments of OA have been mainly focused on relieving chronic joint pain by suppressing inflammation in the degenerative joint more so than on cartilage regeneration.…”
