Inhibition of TRADD ameliorates chondrocyte necroptosis and osteoarthritis by blocking RIPK1-TAK1 pathway and restoring autophagy.

ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related disease characterized by cartilage degeneration. TNFR1-associated death domain protein (TRADD) is a key upstream molecule of TNF-α signals but its role in OA pathogenesis is unknown. This study aimed to verify that whether inhibition of TRADD could protect against chondrocyte necroptosis and OA, and further elucidate the underlying mechanism. We demonstrated that TNF-α-related OA-like phenotypes including inflammation response, extracellular matrix degradation, apoptosis, and necroptosis in chondrocytes were inhibited by TRADD deficiency. Furthermore, TRADD interacted with TRAF2 and knockdown of TRADD suppressed the activation of RIPK1-TAK1-NF-κB signals and restored impaired autophagy. ICCB-19, the selective inhibitor of TRADD, also attenuated necropt
