Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread chronic inflammatory disease in orthopedics, and its molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood.Objective The purpose of this work was to detect the immunological infiltration of OA and the manner of cell death utilizing bioinformatics and single-cell analysis in order to provide guidelines for clinical therapy and medicine.Methods Ferroptosis -associated genes were sourced from the ferroptosis Database, single-cell and bioinformatic expression profiles were chosen from the Gene Expression Comprehensive Database, and OA gene information was taken from GeneCards. To ascertain the categorization status of OA cells, single-cell analysis was conducted. Protein-protein interaction networks were established by SRING analysis, and functional enrichment was examined in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) databases. The important proteins of immune-ferroptosis death in OA were elucidated through co-analysis. Last but not least, network pharmacology and molecular docking support the mechanism by which resveratrol controls Ferroptosis in OA.Results The development of OA was found to be tightly related to chondrocytes and immune cells, particularly T and macrophage cells, according to single-cell analysis profile. In patients with OA, immune infiltration also revealed a notable infiltration of T cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes, and macrophages. The hub genes were shown to be enriched in immunological responses, chemokine-mediated signaling pathways, and inflammatory responses, according to enrichment analysis. The main signaling pathways included autophagy, ferroptosis, the HIF-1 signaling pathway, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and the FoxO signaling pathway. Ferroptosis is a significant cell death mechanism that contributes to the advancement of osteoarthritis. Ferroptosis in chondrocytes is lessened by resveratrol regulation of GPX4, TFRC, and SLC7A11.Conclusion Various immune cell infiltrates, especially T cells and macrophages, play an important role in the progression of OA, and resveratrol ameliorates OA by modulating chondrocyte ferroptosis.
