Human articular cartilage zone specific gene expression profiling
Introduction: Human articular cartilage (HAC) possesses a unique structure and composition with variations in matrix biochemical composition, cell morphology, cell density, cell metabolism and pericellular matrix (PCM) in discretely organized zonal architectures. The superficial zone (SZ) spans the first 10-20% of full thickness HAC. The middle zone (MZ) is about 40-60% and the deep zone (DZ) t...
متن کاملDegradome expression profiling in human articular cartilage
INTRODUCTION The molecular mechanisms underlying cartilage destruction in osteoarthritis are poorly understood. Proteolysis is a key feature in the turnover and degradation of cartilage extracellular matrix where the focus of research has been on the metzincin family of metalloproteinases. However, there is strong evidence to indicate important roles for other catalytic classes of proteases, wi...
متن کاملGene Expression Profiling Reveals Similarities between the Spatial Architectures of Postnatal Articular and Growth Plate Cartilage
Articular and growth plate cartilage are discrete tissues but arise from a common cartilaginous condensation and have comparable spatial architectures consisting of distinct layers of chondrocytes. To investigate similarities and differences between articular and growth plate cartilage and to explore transcriptional changes that occur during the onset of their divergence, we performed manual mi...
متن کاملA non-enzymatic microsurgical dissection technique of mouse embryonic tissues for gene expression profiling applications.
With the increased use of gene expression profiling to identify molecular regulators of cellular and developmental mechanisms, developmental biologists face a new challenge in dissecting tissues without cross-contamination or change in RNA profile, and with intact RNA integrity. We have developed a technique that overcomes these problems. We took the dissection of rudimentary mouse embryonic ma...
متن کاملGene therapy for articular cartilage repair.
Articular cartilage serves as the gliding surface of joints. It is susceptible to damage from trauma and from degenerative diseases. Restoration of damaged articular cartilage may be achievable through the use of cell-regulatory molecules that augment the reparative activities of the cells, inhibit the cells' degradative activities, or both. A variety of such molecules have been identified. The...
