Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of physical disability among aging populations, with no available drugs able to efficiently restore the balance between cartilage matrix synthesis and degradation. Also, OA has not been accurately classified into subpopulations, hindering the development toward personalized precision medicine. In the present study, we identified a subpopulation of OA patients displaying high activation level of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). With Col2a1-creERT2; Egfrf/f mice, it was found that the activation of EGFR, indicated by EGFR phosphorylation (pEGFR), led to the destruction of joints. Excitingly, EGFR inhibition prohibited cartilage matrix degeneration and promoted cartilage regeneration. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug gefitinib could efficiently inhibit EGFR functions in OA joints and restore cartilage structure and function in the mouse model as well as the clinical case report. Overall, our findings suggested the concept of the EGFR activated OA subpopulation and illustrated the mechanism of EGFR signaling in regulating cartilage homeostasis. Gefitinib could be a promising disease-modifying drug for this OA subpopulation treatment. There is a subpopulation of osteoarthritic patients with high activation level of EGFR (pEGFRhigh). Gefitinib can simultaneously promote ECM synthesis and inhibit further degradation in pEGFRhigh osteoarthritic cartilage. Intra-articular controlled-release of gefitinib could be a therapeutic strategy for pEGFRhigh OA treatment. EGFR activation regulates OA development through inhibition of autophagy. Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorder worldwide, but most treatments in clinics are designed as a “one-size-fits-all-approach”. We found that not all OA patients are the same, and specifically in this case, there is a group of people with high activation level of EGFR, a functional protein in the cells of cartilage. The anti-cancer drug gefitinib was discovered to have multiple functions in protecting articular cartilage from destruction in EGFR activated OA. Our research therefore highlighted the OA subpopulation concept and suggested a novel OA therapeutic strategy.
