Mapping the response of primary human chondrocytes to an osteoarthritis-relevant stimulus by single-cell RNA sequencing
Objective: To determine how fibronectin fragment (Fn-f), a matrikine that induces an osteoarthritis (OA)-like phenotype, reshapes chondrocyte states and transcriptional programs at single-cell resolution. Design: Primary human ankle chondrocytes from two cadaveric donors without OA were treated with PBS or purified recombinant Fn-f for 18 hours and profiled by single-cell RNA sequencing.…
