骨关节炎是一种常见的关节疾病,其特征为软骨损伤和慢性炎症,严重影响患者的生活质量。近年来的研究表明,中性粒细胞作为重要的免疫细胞,在骨关节炎的发病机制中扮演着关键角色。中性粒细胞不仅在炎症反应中发挥作用,还可能对软骨的修复过程产生影响。然而,目前关于中性粒细胞在骨关节炎中作用的研究仍有待进一步深入。本文旨在综述中性粒细胞在骨关节炎中的作用及其相关机制,并评估了靶向中性粒细胞的治疗潜力,以期为未来的研究和治疗提供新的思路和方向。

Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease characterized by cartilage damage and chronic inflammation, significantly affecting the quality of life of patients. Recent studies suggest that neutrophils, as important immune cells, play a critical role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. Neutrophils are involved not only in inflammatory responses but may also influence the cartilage repair process. However, current research on the role of neutrophils in osteoarthritis still requires further investigation. This review aimed to summarize the role of neutrophils in osteoarthritis and its underlying mechanisms, and assess the therapeutic potential of targeting neutrophils, providing new insights and directions for future research and treatment.
