The cereblon-AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) axis in chondrocytes regulates the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) dysregulation is implicated in osteoarthritis (OA), but the mechanisms underlying this dysregulation remain unclear. We investigated the role of cereblon, a substrate-recognition protein within the E3-ligase ubiquitin complex, in AMPK dysregulation and OA pathogenesis.
