Additionally, rat chondrocytes were treated with quercetin and then stimulated with IL-1β. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α) were detected by ELISA.Cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry and Hoechst staining. ROS levels were measured using a DCFH-DA probe. Protein expression was evaluated by Western blotting, immunohistochemical staining, and immunofluorescence.&#x00A0Results: Our data showed that quercetin attenuated the degeneration and erosion of articular cartilage, suppressed inflammation and apoptosis, and downregulated the levels of IRAK1, NLRP3, and caspase-3 expression. In vitro data showed that overexpression of NLRP3 could reverse the suppressive effect of quercetin on IL-1β-induced rat chondrocyte injuries. Importantly, rescue experiments confirmed that quercetin inhibited IL-1β-induced rat chondrocyte injuries in vitro by suppressing the IRAK1/NLRP3 signaling pathway.Conclusion: Our study indicated that quercetin inhibits IL-1β-induced inflammation and cartilage degradation by suppressing the IRAK1/NLRP3 signaling pathway.Keywords: quercetin, osteoarthritis, IRAK1, NLRP3, inflammation, apoptosisLi WWang YTang YLu HQi YLi GHe HLu FYang YSun HDove Medical Pressarticlequercetinosteoarthritisirak1nlrp3inflammationapoptosisPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
