Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widely prevalent chronic degenerative disease often associated with significant pain and disability. It characterized by the deterioration of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM), synovial inflammation, subchondral bone remodeling. Recent studies have highlighted pyroptosis-a form programmed cell death triggered inflammasome-as key factor in sustaining inflammation. Central to this process are inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) interleukin-18 (IL-18), which play crucial roles mediating intra-articular pyroptosis through NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. This paper investigates role pathway perpetuating diseases its linkage OA. Furthermore, it explores mechanisms pyroptosis, mediated nuclear κB (NF-κB), purinergic P2X ligand-gated ion channel 7 (P2X7R), adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated kinase (AMPK), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Additionally, examines interactions among various cellular components context These insights indicate that targeting regulation presents promising therapeutic approach for prevention treatment OA, offering valuable theoretical perspectives effective management.
