Regulation of senescence-associated secretory phenotypes in osteoarthritis by cytosolic UDP-GlcNAc retention and O-GlcNAcylation by Donghyun Kang, Jeeyeon Lee, Geunho Yook, Sehan Jeong, Jungkwon Shin, Mi-Sung Kim, Yi-Jun Kim, Hyeryeon Jung, Jinsung Ahn, Tae Woo Kim, Moon Jong Chang, Chong Bum Chang, Seung-Baik Kang, Won Ho Yang, Yong-ho Lee, Jin Won Cho, Eugene C. Yi, Chanhee Kang, Jin-Hong Kim

“…Mechanistically, upregulated O-GlcNAcylation governs the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) by stabilizing GATA4 via O-GlcNAcylation at S406, which compromises its degradation by p62-mediated selective autophagy. Elevated O-GlcNAcylation in the superficial layer of osteoarthritic cartilage coincides with increased GATA4 levels. …”
