Cover Story: We know that pollution can negatively affect human and animal health; however, its impact on musculoskeletal health remains vastly unknown. Our study aimed to investigate whether hydroquinone (HQ), an environmental pollutant, could affect the homeostasis of articular cartilage. Our data showed that HQ could exacerbate the pro-degenerative effect of inflammatory molecules in the tissue, promoting the degradation and reducing the content of proteoglycans, and increasing oxidative stress. We showed that HQ mediates catabolic activity through the activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor. In summary, our findings demonstrate the harmful effects of HQ on articular cartilage health, showing how exposure to pollutants can favor the onset and/or sustain the progression of articular diseases.
