Correlation between interleukin-6 expression in articular cartilage bone and osteoarthritis.
This study aimed to investigate the expressional profile of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in articular cartilage bone of osteoarthritis (OA) patients and its correlation with OA. A total of 30 articular cartilage bone samples from knee OA patients, which were collected by knee arthroscopy or articular surgery, comprised the study group, and 30 samples of normal articular cartilage tissue comprised the c...
متن کاملIncreased type II collagen cleavage by cathepsin K and collagenase activities with aging and osteoarthritis in human articular cartilage
INTRODUCTION The intra-helical cleavage of type II collagen by proteases, including collagenases and cathepsin K, is increased with aging and osteoarthritis (OA) in cartilage as determined by immunochemical assays. The distinct sites of collagen cleavage generated by collagenases and cathepsin K in healthy and OA human femoral condylar cartilages were identified and compared. METHODS Fixed fr...
متن کاملOsteoarthritis and Articular Cartilage: Biomechanics and Novel Treatment Paradigms
Background: Osteoarthritis is a widespread highly painful disabling age-related disease with no known cure. Although novel strategies for ameliorating osteoarthritic damage abound, it is likely that none will be successful over time if the entire spectrum of the disease and the effects of joint biomechanics on joint tissues are not carefully considered. Objectives: 1) To detail the structure of...
متن کاملVitamin D and Its Effects on Articular Cartilage and Osteoarthritis
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) currently affects 10% of the American population. There has been a recent push to determine exactly what causes OA and how it can be treated most effectively. Serum vitamin D levels have been associated with OA and may have an effect on articular cartilage remodeling. PURPOSE To critically review the published research on the effect of vitamin D on articular car...
متن کاملArticular cartilage and changes in Arthritis: Cell biology of osteoarthritis
The reaction patterns of chondrocytes in osteoarthritis can be summarized in five categories: (1) proliferation and cell death (apoptosis); changes in (2) synthetic activity and (3) degradation; (4) phenotypic modulation of the articular chondrocytes; and (5) formation of osteophytes. In osteoarthritis, the primary responses are reinitiation of synthesis of cartilage macromolecules, the initiat...
