Human Osteoblasts-Osteoarthritis, HOb-OA, are isolated from bone of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and provide an excellent model system to study the patophisiology of that disease in vitro, including matrix mineralization, effects of inflammatory mediators and bone morphogenic proteins, physiological control of bone remodeling and regulation of bone metabolism.

Characterization: Positive for bone mineralization.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common type of arthritis. Chronic inflammation is an important contributor to the pathogenesis of OA. The maturation and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines are controlled by inflammasomes, especially NLRP1 (NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 1) and NLRP3.
