After 3\u00a0weeks, the condylar heads of the rats were evaluated by micro-CT, HE, immunohistochemistry, safranin O staining, and other experimental techniques. Protein was extracted from the subchondral bone, and the changes in Piezo1, Smad3, and pSmad3 levels in each group were detected by Western blotting. <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The degree of damage to the cartilage and subchondral bone in the Piezo1 inhibitor group was smaller than that in the CFA group. The expression level of Piezo1 in the CFA group was higher than that in the other groups, and the difference was statistically significant.
