Integrins and chondrocyte–matrix interactions in articular cartilage
The integrin family of cell adhesion receptors plays a major role in mediating interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. Normal adult articular chondrocytes express α1β1, α3β1, α5β1, α10β1, αVβ1, αVβ3, and αVβ5 integrins, while chondrocytes from osteoarthritic tissue also express α2β1, α4β1, α6β1. These integrins bind a host of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, most ...
متن کاملArticular cartilage and changes in Arthritis: Collagen of articular cartilage
The extracellular framework and two-thirds of the dry mass of adult articular cartilage are polymeric collagen. Type II collagen is the principal molecular component in mammals, but collagens III, VI, IX, X, XI, XII and XIV all contribute to the mature matrix. In developing cartilage, the core fibrillar network is a cross-linked copolymer of collagens II, IX and XI. The functions of collagens I...

protein-chondroitin sulfate bonds.8 No similar mammalian enzymes in joint tissues were found until Ziff, et al.' demonstrated an agent extracted from the synovial membrane in cases of acute rheumatoid arthritis and related this to its content of granulocytes. Since this type of inflammation is not usually seen in osteoarthritis, it is of considerable interest that Lack' has suggested blood plas...
متن کاملCalcification in articular cartilage.
A man of fifty-seven was admitted to Queen Mary’s Hospital, Roehampton, in December I 957 complaining of general listlessness, effort dyspnoea and angina of effort of some fourteen months’ duration. Previously he had had attacks of left-sided renal colic, which started in 1928 and which necessitated a left nephro-lithotomy in 1944 and a left nephrectomy in 1948. Thereafter he remained moderatel...
متن کاملIntegrins in ageing cartilage tissue in vitro.
Matrix-cell interactions are of great importance for numerous cell functions whereby integrins play an essential role as transmitters of extracellular signals. In cultures of ageing cartilage tissue (organoid or high density cultures) cartilage cells occur on the surface of which thick fibrils of collagen type I are deposited. Since integrins, in their role as receptors, cause an interaction be...
