Osteoarthritis (OA) was previously thought of as 'wear and tear' as humans age, however there is increasing evidence to support an inflammatory theory. The nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of arthritic disorders, producing proinflammatory cytokines and degradative enzymes such as Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) which drive cartilage degeneration and synovial inflammation. This review aims to summarise the evidence of NLRP3 involvement in OA. Currently, treatment options focus on management of the disease and to date there is no cure. The development of novel biomarkers for OA could improve diagnosis, treatment and management. Importantly, this review provides detail on the involvement of the NLRP3 inflammasome in OA pathology and how its members could act as potential biomarkers to assist clinical decisions.
