Abstract
Purpose: The strongest nongenetic risk factors for primary knee OA are advanced age and obesity. We have previously demonstrated that human cartilage exhibits a microbial DNA signature which changes in association with the development and progression of knee OA. In this study, we hypothesized that aging and obesity, known to cause gut microbiome shifts, would also produce shifts in cartilage microbial DNA patterns in mice.
