Baicalin (BAI) exerts regulatory effects in a wide range of orthopedic diseases including OA, but its effect on ferroptosis of chondrocytes (CHs) is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of BAI on ferroptosis in human OA chondrocytes (OACs), and to explore its possible mechanism.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      CHs were treated with IL-1\u03b2 (10\u00a0ng\/mL) to simulate inflammation in vitro.

Besides, BAI reversed IL-1\u03b2-induced decrease of Collagen II and increase of MMP13 in CHs. Meanwhile, BAI attenuated IL-1\u03b2-induced CH toxicity and promoted Nrf2 antioxidant system activation. When Nrf2 was knocked down by siRNA, the effects of BAI on IL-1\u03b2-induced ferroptosis-related proteins and antioxidant stress in CHs were significantly weakened.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study demonstrates that IL-1\u03b2 can induce CH ferroptosis. BAI is able to inhibit IL-1\u03b2-induced CH ferroptosis and ECM degradation, and the specific mechanism may be that it can inhibit IL-1\u03b2-induced CH ferroptosis by activating Nrf2 antioxidant system to attenuate the accumulation of intracellular ROS and lipid ROS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13018-023-04483-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,2]],"date-time":"2024-01-02T22:02:09Z","timestamp":1704232929000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Baicalin inhibits IL-1\u03b2-induced ferroptosis in human osteoarthritis chondrocytes by activating Nrf-2 signaling pathway"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Jiuxiang","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiangqi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Zuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"4483_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1578","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joca.2019.06.011","volume":"27","author":"RR Bannuru","year":"2019","unstructured":"Bannuru RR, Osani MC, Vaysbrot EE, Arden NK, Bennell K, Bierma-Zeinstra SMA, et al.
