Key Points

The study investigates the role of IGF2BP2 deficiency in cartilage degeneration and cellular aging.
Assessed the role of IGF2BP2 in chondrocytes and its effect on HIF-1α regulation.
Examined the PINK1/Parkin pathway and its association with mitochondrial dysfunction.
Investigated the impact of IGF2BP2 on cellular senescence and articular cartilage integrity.
Downregulation of IGF2BP2 resulted in decreased HIF-1α levels, contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction.
The activation of the PINK1/Parkin pathway was implicated in the senescence of chondrocytes.
Cartilage degeneration was exacerbated due to cellular aging linked to IGF2BP2 deficiency.

Abstract

A reader IGF2BP2 in the pathogenesis of cartilage degeneration through downregulation of HIF-1α and extends the potential role of the PINK1/Parkin pathway, downregulation of which leads to the onset of mitochondrial dysfunction and senescence in the progression of articular cartilage loss.
