ABSTRACT
Abstract-Nowadays the possible influence of the coronavirus infection on cartilage degeneration and synovial membrane inflammation during chronic joint pathology-osteoarthritis-remains largely unelucidated. The aim of the presented work is to analyze the TGFB1, FOXO1, and COMP gene expression and free radical generation intensity in blood of patients suffering from osteoarthritis after beating the SARS-CoV2 infection. The work was carried out using molecular genetics and biochemistry methods. The decrease of the TGFB1 and FOXO1 expression level was shown to be more evident in the osteoarthritis patients after COVID-19 if compared to the group with knee osteoarthritis during simultaneous and more prominent diminishing of both superoxide dismutase and catalase activity (possibly indicating cell redox state disruption and TGF- P1-FOXO1 signaling attenuation) in patients with osteoarthritis after SARS-CoV2 disease. At the same time, the more prominent decrease of COMP gene expression level was demonstrated in patients with osteoarthritis after COVID-19 compared to the group with knee osteoarthritis and more intense increase of the COMP concentration in patients with osteoarthritis after the SARS-CoV2 infection was revealed. These data indicate more significant activation of cell destructive processes after the infection as well as further pathology progression.
