Distinct late-stage osteoarthritis profiles identified through NF-κB, TNF-α, and TGF-β–driven synovial inflammation and pain by Sofija Semenistaja, Liba Sokolovska, Simons Svirskis, Peteris Studers, Valerija Groma, Sandra Skuja

“…Bayesian networks revealed relationships among NF-κB, TNF-α, and pain scores, suggesting that NFκB is a primary driver of pain in low-grade synovitis, while TNF-α becomes more influential in high-grade synovitis. Cluster analysis identified four distinct patient subgroups: (1) males with severe radiographic OA, elevated NF-κB in both the synovium and fluid, and the absence of synovitis; (2) predominantly females with metabolic comorbidities, a variable degree of synovitis, and elevated TNF-α in synovial fluid; (3) patients with low pain scores and no histopathologically confirmed synovial inflammation; and (4) patients with high-grade synovitis, pronounced tissue alterations, increased NF-κB, TNF-α, and TGF-β expression in the synovial membrane, but without metabolic comorbidities. …”
