Ferroptosis is involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) while suppression of chondrocyte ferroptosis has a beneficial effect on OA. However, the molecular mechanism of ferroptosis in OA remains to be elucidated. P21, an indicator of aging, has been reported to inhibit ferroptosis, but the relationship between P21 and ferroptosis in OA remains unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the expression and function of P21 in OA chondrocytes, and the involvement of P21 in the regulation of ferroptosis in chondrocytes. First, we demonstrated that high P21 expression was observed in the cartilage from OA patients and destabilized medial meniscus (DMM) mice, and in osteoarthritic chondrocytes induced by IL-1β, FAC and erastin. P21 knockdown exacerbated the reduction of Col2a1 and promoted the upregulation of MMP13 in osteoarthritic chondrocytes. Meanwhile, P21 knockdown exacerbated cartilage degradation in DMM-induced OA mouse models and decreased GPX4 expression in vivo. Furthermore, P21 knockdown sensitized chondrocytes to ferroptosis induced by erastin, which was closely associated with the accumulation of lipid peroxides. In mechanism, we demonstrated that P21 regulated the stability of GPX4 protein, and the regulation was independent of NRF2. Meanwhile, we found that P21 significantly affected the recruitment of GPX4 to linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) and regulated the level of M1-linked ubiquitination of GPX4. Overall, our results suggest that P21 plays an essential anti-ferroptosis role in OA by regulating the stability of GPX4.
