Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common rheumatic disorder that affects multiple joint tissues and has complex genetic and environmental etiologies. This study explores the genetic basis of OA in the Kanpur District, India. Methods: It is examined genes related to metabolism, apoptosis, cytokine signaling, and bone metabolism. Microarray-based gene expression analysis revealed significant differences between OA patients and healthy controls. Results: The results indicated the potential involvement of apoptosis and inflammatory pathways, as evidenced by the upregulated expression of caspases, TNF receptors, and ligands. The results also suggested a proinflammatory environment that contributes to cartilage degradation, as shown by the elevated expression of cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-17D, and IL-18. Moreover, the results demonstrated extracellular matrix remodelling and immune activation in OA pathogenesis, as indicated by the increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and complement component genes. Interestingly, bone metabolism-related genes displayed varied expression patterns, with decreased expression of TGFβ isoforms and increased expression of S100 proteins. Conclusion: These findings underscore the dysregulation of apoptosis, inflammation, and extracellular matrix homeostasis in OA, offering insights into potential therapeutic targets for disease management. However, the study limitations, such as small sample size and regional specificity, warrant further investigation to confirm and extend these findings. Future research should utilize larger cohorts and diverse methodologies to enhance the understanding of OA’s molecular mechanisms and facilitate the development of targeted interventions.
