Abstract: Abstract Osteoarthritis is a prevalent age-related disease characterized by dysregulation of extracellular matrix metabolism, lipid metabolism, and upregulation of senescence-associated secretory phenotypes. Herein, we clarify that CircRREB1 is highly expressed in secondary generation chondrocytes and its deficiency can alleviate FASN related senescent phenotypes and osteoarthritis progression. CircRREB1 impedes proteasome-mediated degradation of FASN by inhibiting acetylation-mediated ubiquitination. Meanwhile, CircRREB1 induces RanBP2-mediated SUMOylation of FASN and enhances its protein stability. CircRREB1-FASN axis inhibits FGF18 and FGFR3 mediated PI3K-AKT signal transduction, then increased p21 expression. Intra-articular injection of adenovirus–CircRreb1 reverses the protective effects in CircRreb1 deficiency mice. Further therapeutic interventions could have beneficial effects in identifying CircRREB1 as a potential prognostic and therapeutic target for age-related OA.
