As world population growing older, burden of age-related conditions soars. One of them is osteoarthritis (OA), a debilitating joint disease with no effective treatment. Articular cartilage degeneration is a central event in OA, and changes in expression of many genes in OA cartilage are well-documented. Still, the specific mechanisms are rarely known. We showed that in OA cartilage the increased abundance of many proteins, including extracellular matrix protein Fibronectin (Fn1) and an orphan nuclear receptor Nr4a1 is translationally controlled and requires inactivation of 4EBP, an inhibitor of cap-dependent translation. Importantly, intra-articular injection of the translation inhibitor 4E1RCat reduces Fn1 and Nr4a upregulation in a rodent OA model and delays cartilage degeneration. Our results support the hypothesis that maintaining proper translational control is an important homeostatic mechanism, the loss of which contributes to OA development.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
