Among the environmental risk factors for osteoarthritis (OA), tobacco consumption features prominently but is still controversial today. Among the 4,000 compounds present in cigarette smoke, nicotine is one of the most physiologically active molecules. The aim of the study is to measure the impact of nicotine on human chondrocytes and on the proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of Wharton’s Jelly stem cells (WJ-MSC). We found that nicotine at the concentrations used had no effect on the proliferation of primary human OA chondrocytes, but induced an increase in the expression of matrix metalloproteases (MMP13). It unravels the catabolic effects of nicotine in the joint by stimulating matrix degradation. This result suggests a pro-c...
