Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related degenerative disease lacking disease-modifying therapies. This study investigates the role of ZMPSTE24 deficiency in OA development. Results show decreased *Zmpste24* expression in aging articular cartilage. *Zmpste24* knockout mice exhibited OA phenotypes, with transcriptome sequencing revealing that *Zmpste24* deletion or progerin accumulation affects chondrocyte metabolism, inhibits proliferation, and promotes senescence. The study elucidates the upregulation of H3K27me3 during chondrocyte senescence and the mechanism by which lamin A mutant stabilizes EZH2 expression. This aging-induced OA model provides a platform for discovering new OA therapeutics.
