Obesity defined molecular endotypes in the synovium of patients with osteoarthritis provides a rationale for therapeutic targeting of fibroblast subsets
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to establish molecular endotypes in osteoarthritis soft joint tissue driven by obesity in both load-bearing and non-load bearing joints. Transcriptomic analysis found the inflammatory landscape of OA synovial fibroblasts (SF) are independently impacted by obesity, joint loading, and anatomical site with significant heterogeneity between obese and normal weight patients. These findings demonstrate the significance of obesity in changing the inflammatory landscape of synovial fibroblasts in both load bearing and non-load bearing joints. The molecular endotypes identified may provide a route for the stratification of patients in clinical trials, providing a rational for the therapeutic targeting of specific SF subsets in specific patient populations with arthritic conditions.
