Abstract

Mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 is known to mediate a variety of inflammatory pathways and is also involved in the occurrence and development of many orthopedic diseases. Although its role in the inflammatory mechanism of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) has been reported, a systematic explanation is yet to be seen. This article aims to summarize the role of inflammatory responses in the pathogenesis of KOA and elucidate the mechanism by which the Piezo1-mediated inflammatory response contributes to the pathogenesis of KOA, providing a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The results indicate that in the mechanism leading to knee osteoarthritis, Piezo1 can mediate the inflammatory response through chondrocytes and synovial cells, participating in the pathological progression of KOA. Piezo1 has the potential to become a new target for the prevention and treatment of this disease. Additionally, as pain is one of the most severe manifestations in KOA patients, the inflammatory response mediated by Piezo1, which causes the release of inflammatory mediators and pro-inflammatory factors leading to pain, can be further explored.
