Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition that affects the whole joint including bone, cartilage, ligaments and muscles. It has been recently observed that infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) may play a multifunctional role in knee joint homeostasis by being a source of stem cells for cartilage regeneration, however stressful conditions such as osteoarthritis may induce a pathogenic reprogramming of these stem cells. The aim of this study was to characterize the structural and functional properties of a new population of stem cells isolated from osteoarthritic infrapatellar fat pad (OA-IFP). OA-IFP stem cells were isolated and characterized for morphology and stemness. The long-term proliferative potential and metabolic activity were then determined where genes related to stemness and metabolic activity of OA-IFP stem cells were characterized.  A gene expression study, using these identified genes, was carried out by a single step RT-qPCR on the Magnetic Induction Cycler (MIC) to determine their links to OA-OFP.  The gene expression study was carried out by a single step RT-qPCR on a Magnetic Induction Cycler (MIC). Based on the functional characterization, OA-IFP stem cells were hypothesized to be primed by the pathological environment and to exert incomplete protective activity from OA inflammation.
