Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic degenerative disease that affects the quality of life of middle‑aged and elderly individuals, and is one of the major factors leading to disability. Rongjin Niantong Fang (RJNTF) can alleviate the clinical symptoms of patients with KOA, but the molecular mechanism underlying its beneficial effects on KOA remains unknown. Using pharmacological analysis and in vitro experiments, the active components of RJNTF were analyzed to explore their potential therapeutic targets and mechanisms in KOA. The potential targets and core signaling pathways by which RJNTF exerts its effects on KOA were obtained from databases such as Gene Expression Omnibus, Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology and Analysis Platform. Subsequently, chondrocyte apoptosis was modeled using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay involving a poly [ADP‑ribose] polymerase‑1 (PARP1) inhibitor, DAPI staining, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR, Annexin V‑FITC/PI staining and flow cytometry, western blotting and co‑immunoprecipitation analysis were used to determine the therapeutic efficacy of RJNTF on KOA and to uncover the molecular mechanism. It was found that PARP1‑knockdown lentivirus, incubation with PARP1 inhibitor PJ34, medium and high doses of RJNTF significantly reduced H2O2‑induced chondrocyte apoptosis. Medium and high doses of RJNTF downregulated the expression of cleaved caspase‑3, cleaved PARP1 and PAR total proteins, as well as nucleus proteins of apoptosis‑inducing factor (AIF) and migration inhibitory factor (MIF), and upregulated the expression of caspase‑3, PARP1 total protein, as well as the cytoplasmic expression of AIF and MIF, suggesting that RJNTF may inhibit chondrocyte apoptosis through the PARP1/AIF signaling pathway.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) are significant health concerns with notable prevalence and economic impact. RA, affecting 0.5% to 1.0% of the global population, leads to chronic joint damage and comorbidities. OA, primarily afflicting the elderly, results in joint degradation and severe pain. Both conditions incur substantial healthcare expenses and productivity losses. The cGAS-STING pathway, consisting of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING), is a crucial component of mammalian immunity. This pathway is responsible for detecting foreign DNA, particularly double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), triggering innate immune defense responses. When cGAS recognizes dsDNA, it catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), which then binds to and activates STING. Activated STING, in turn, initiates downstream signaling events leading to the production of interferons and other immune mediators. The cGAS-STING pathway is essential for defending against viral infections and maintaining cellular balance. Dysregulation of this pathway has been implicated in various inflammatory diseases, including arthritis, making it a target for potential therapeutic interventions. Understanding the intricate molecular signaling network of cGAS-STING in these arthritis forms offers potential avenues for targeted therapies. Addressing these challenges through improved early detection, comprehensive management, and interventions targeting the cGAS-STING pathway is crucial for alleviating the impact of OA and RA on individuals and healthcare systems. This review offers an up-to-date comprehension of the cGAS-STING pathway's role in the development and therapeutic approaches for these arthritis types.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify the crucial genes involved in dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) senescence and evaluate the impact of melatonin on DPSC senescence. METHODS Western blotting, SA-β-Gal staining and ALP staining were used to evaluate the senescence and differentiation potential of DPSCs. The optimal concentration of melatonin was determined using the CCK-8 assay. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in DPSC senescence were obtained via bioinformatics analysis, followed by RT-qPCR. Gain- and loss-of-function studies were conducted to explore the role of MMP3 in DPSC in vitro expansion and in response to melatonin. GSEA was employed to analyse MMP3-related pathways in cellular senescence. RESULTS Treatment with 0.1 μM melatonin attenuated cellular senescence and differentiation potential suppression in DPSCs due to long-term in vitro expansion. MMP3 was a crucial gene in senescence, as confirmed by bioinformatics analysis, RT-qPCR and Western blotting. Furthermore, gain- and loss-of-function studies revealed that MMP3 played a regulatory role in cellular senescence. Rescue assays showed that overexpression of MMP3 reversed the effect of melatonin on senescence. GSEA revealed that the MMP3-dependent anti-senescence effect of melatonin was associated with the IL6-JAK-STAT3, TNF-α-Signalling-VIA-NF-κB, COMPLEMENT, NOTCH Signalling and PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathways. CONCLUSION Melatonin attenuated DPSC senescence caused by long-term expansion by inhibiting MMP3.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an intricate structure providing the microenvironment niche that influences stem cell differentiation. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of decellularized ECM derived from human dental pulp stem cells (dECM_DPSCs) and gingival-derived mesenchymal stem cells (dECM_GSCs) as an inductive scaffold for osteogenic differentiation of GSCs. The proteomic analysis demonstrated that common and signature matrisome proteins from dECM_DPSCs and dECM_GSCs were related to osteogenesis/osteogenic differentiation. RNA sequencing data from GSCs reseeded on dECM_DPSCs revealed that dECM_DPSCs upregulated genes related to the Hippo and Wnt signaling pathways in GSCs. In the inhibitor experiments, results revealed that dECM_DPSCs superiorly promoted GSCs osteogenic differentiation, mainly mediated through Hippo and Wnt signaling. The present study emphasizes the promising translational application of dECM_DPSCs as a bio-scaffold rich in favorable regenerative microenvironment for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative bone and joint disease common in middle-aged and elderly people. Currently, there is no satisfactory pharmacological treatment. Eugenol is a phenolic compound that has been shown to exert biological anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic effects in multiple systems and organs of the human body. However, its therapeutic effect on OA is unclear. This study examined the effect of eugenol on OA using an anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) model in mice and its related signaling pathways in interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-stimulated human chondrocytes. A certain concentration of eugenol inhibited the decrease in cell viability induced by IL-1β or carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). In vitro, eugenol effectively inhibited CCCP-induced chondrocyte apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential changes and inhibited the expressions of ADAMTS4 and MMP13 upregulated by IL-1β. In vivo, ACLT induced destruction of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone of the mouse tibial plateau, while eugenol effectively protected the cartilage and subchondral bone from such damage. At the same time, eugenol reduced the ACLT-induced upregulation of ADAMTS4 and MMP13 and the downregulation of type II collagen (COLII) and aggrecan in the mouse knee cartilage. Eugenol also inhibited the increased expression of cartilage metabolism signaling molecules such as C-telopeptides of COLII (CTX-II) in ACLT-induced mouse serum. Consistent with the specific changes in the messenger RNA chip, eugenol inhibited the phosphorylation of JAK3 and STAT4 induced by IL-1β. Together, these results suggest eugenol as an effective new drug for the prevention and treatment of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a worldwide chronic disease that can cause severe inflammation to damage the surrounding tissue and cartilage. There are many different factors that can lead to osteoarthritis, but abnormally progressed programmed cell death is one of the most important risk factors that can induce osteoarthritis. Prior studies have demonstrated that programmed cell death, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, autophagy, and cuproptosis, has a great connection with osteoarthritis. In this paper, we review the role of different types of programmed cell death in the generation and development of OA and how the different signal pathways modulate the different cell death to regulate the development of OA. Additionally, this review provides new insights into the radical treatment of osteoarthritis rather than conservative treatment, such as anti-inflammation drugs or surgical operation.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dynamics, including mitochondrial fission and fusion, are critical for maintaining mitochondrial functions. Evidence shows that TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) regulates mitochondrial fusion and fission and then mitophagy. Since a previous study demonstrates a strong correlation between mitophagy and osteoarthritis (OA), we herein investigated the potential role of TBK1 in OA process and mitochondrial functions. We demonstrated a strong correlation between TBK1 and OA, evidenced by significantly downregulated expression of TBK1 in cartilage tissue samples of OA patients and in the chondrocytes of aged mice, as well as TNF-α-stimulated phosphorylation of TBK1 in primary mouse chondrocytes. TBK1 overexpression significantly attenuated TNF-α-induced apoptosis and abnormal mitochondrial function in primary mouse chondrocytes. Furthermore, TBK1 overexpression induced remodeling of mitochondrial morphology by directly phosphorylating dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) at Ser637, abolishing the fission of DRP1 and preventing its fragmentation function. Moreover, TBK1 recruitment and DRP1 phosphorylation at Ser637 was necessary for engulfing damaged mitochondria by autophagosomal membranes during mitophagy. Moreover, we demonstrated that APMK/ULK1 signaling contributed to TBK1 activation. In OA mouse models established by surgical destabilization of the medial meniscus, intraarticular injection of lentivirus-TBK1 significantly ameliorated cartilage degradation via regulation of autophagy and alleviation of cell apoptosis. In conclusion, our results suggest that the TBK1/DRP1 pathway is involved in OA and pharmacological targeting of the TBK1-DRP1 cascade provides prospective therapeutic benefits for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related chronic progressive degenerative disease that induces persistent pain and disabilities. The development of OA is a complex process, and the risk factors are various, including aging, genetics, trauma and altered biomechanics. Inflammation and immunity play an important role in the pathogenesis of OA. JAK/STAT pathway is one of the most prominent intracellular signaling pathways, regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Inflammatory factors can act as the initiators of JAK/STAT pathway, which is implicated in the pathophysiological activity of chondrocyte. In this article, we provide a review on the importance of JAK/STAT pathway in the pathological development of OA. Potentially, JAK/STAT pathway becomes a therapeutic target for managing OA.
