Potential mechanisms of resveratrol in relieving knee osteoarthritis. There are many molecular mechanisms involved in the occurrence and development of knee osteoarthritis. Resveratrol plays multiple positive roles in knee osteoarthritis, reducing inflammatory activation, cell apoptosis, maintaining cartilage homeostasis and promoting autophagy through several signal pathways. (A) Anti-inflammatory effects. (B) Anti-apoptotic/proliferous effects. (C) Anti-catabolic/Pro-anabolic effects. (D) Autophagy-promoting effects. ↑: up-regulation. ↓: down-regulation.
