Abstract

These data show that ox-LDL binding to LOX-1 induces stress-induced premature senescence of chondrocytes and results in suppression of telomerase activity by inactivating the PI3K/Akt pathway. Oxidized LDL may play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis by inducing chondrocyte senescence.
