Key factors balancing the anabolic and catabolic pathways of the OA joint. A dysregulation of chondrocyte function leads to an imbalance of anabolic and catabolic pathways with enhanced matrix degradation and calcification, as well as reduced matrix production. Anabolic mechanisms are labeled with green color and catabolic pathways are marked with red color
