Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that affects multiple cells and associated extracellular matrix (ECM). Chondrocytes and chondroextracellular matrix together constitute articular cartilage tissue. Any factors that affect the activity of chondrocytes and destroy the metabolic balance of the chondrocyte ECM will lead to the inability of articular cartilage to perform normal functions. The articular subchondral bone and articular cartilage must be coordinated to resist enough friction and mechanical stress, so the articular subchondral bone lesion will aggravate the articular cartilage defect and vice versa. Synoviocytes, including fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) and synovial macrophages at the joint, are also important factors that cause low-grade chronic progressive inflammation of OA. Regulation of phenotype transformation of synovial macrophages has become another possible target for the clinical treatment of OA. Ubiquitination and deubiquitination are the main post-translational protein modification pathways in the human body, which are widely involved in multiple signaling pathways and physiological processes. Naturally, they also play a very important regulatory role in the occurrence and development of OA. These effects are summarized in this review, including (A) regulating the aging and apoptosis of chondrocytes, FLSs and osteoblasts; (B) regulation of ECM degradation; (C) regulation of macrophage phenotypic transformation; (D) modulation of skeletal muscle and adipose tissues. Ubiquitination targeting drugs for OA treatment are also listed. Depending on the high efficiency of ubiquitination and deubiquitination, understanding OA-related ubiquitination pathways can help design more efficient drugs to treat OA and provide more potential targets for clinical treatment.

Ubiquitination and deubiquitination participate in the homeostasis between healthy joints and osteoarthritic joints through regulating senescence, apoptosis and autophagy of chondrocytes, fibroblast-like synoviocytes, osteoblasts, macrophages, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Digoxin, 6-Gingerol, Resveratrol, Spermidine, Alpinetin and Melatonin are potential therapeutic drugs.
