The nature of the gastrointestinal microbiome determines the reservoir of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which can migrate from the gut into the circulation, where it contributes to low-grade inflammation. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a low-grade inflammatory condition, and the elevation of levels of LPS in association with obesity and metabolic syndrome could contribute to OA. A bifactorial model of OA susceptibility and potentiation suggests that LPS primes the proinflammatory innate immune response via toll-like receptor 4 and that progression to a full-blown inflammatory response and structural damage of the joint results from coexisting complementary mechanisms, such as inflammasome activation or assembly by damage-associated molecular patterns in the form of fragmented cartilage-matrix molecules. LPS could be considered a major hidden risk factor that provides a unifying mechanism to explain the association between obesity, metabolic syndrome and OA.
