OBJECTIVE: Traumatic arthritis is one of the most common diseases in orthopedics. LGR4 is involved in bone formation and bone development. However, the role of LGR4 in synovial cells of rats with traumatic osteoarthritis has not been reported.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the control group and model group. The Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Western blot, and Enzyme-Linked lmmunosorbent Assay (ELISA) were used to analyze the expression of LGR4 in synovial tissue and synovial fluid. Synovial cells were isolated and cultured, followed by transfection of LGR4-pcDNA3.1 plasmid into cells. Cell proliferation was analyzed by MTT and EdU assay, and the Caspase-3 activity was assessed using the Caspase-3 activity kit. The secretion of the inflammatory factors interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) was detected by ELISA. NF-kappa B signaling pathway changes were evaluated by the Western blot.RESULTS: In the model group. LGR4 mRNA expression in synovial tissue was significantly decreased, and the secretion of LGR4 in the synovial fluid was significantly decreased compared with the control group (p
