Popis: Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and distressing chronic degenerative joint disorder characterized by damaged articular cartilage and inflamed joints. Among risk factors, obesity has emerged as the second‐leading contributor to OA after age. Obesity is believed to play a key role in the development and progression of OA. This study aimed to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced obesity in the development of OA. Our findings revealed that HFD could aggravate the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM)‐induced damage in the mouse model of obesity. Similar results were observed when macrophages obtained from HFD‐fed mice were cocultured with cartilage and subsequently stimulated with interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β). Mechanistically, we observed a decrease in the expression of intraarticular macrophagic FBW7, which was implicated in the aggravation of OA in the HFD‐fed animal. Furthermore, by modulating the immune status of macrophages, we found that reversing the macrophagic expression of FBW7 in these cells can alleviate the chondrocyte damage. In conclusion, this study provides novel insights into the pathological mechanisms underlying HFD‐related OA development by identifying the role of FBW7 in synovial macrophages. These findings open up new avenues for research and therapeutic interventions targeting HFD‐related OA.
