Synovial lining macrophages mediate osteophyte formation during experimental osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE In human osteoarthritis (OA), various forms of pathology are observed. Besides cartilage damage and fibrosis, neogenesis of bone, osteophyte formation, also occurs. Osteophytes are thought to limit joint movement and cause pain. The objective of this study was to investigate whether synovial macrophages are involved in osteophyte formation in experimental OA, and if they are, to study...
متن کاملKnee Osteoarthritis in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Does Insulin Therapy Retard Osteophyte Formation?
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not radiographic changes observed in knee osteoarthritis (OA) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients on insulin therapy differed from those not on insulin. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed in 311 subjects: 211 T2DM patients and 100 without diabetes (controls) in Mubarak Hospital, Kuwait. Patients were...
متن کاملInhibition of endogenous TGF-beta during experimental osteoarthritis prevents osteophyte formation and impairs cartilage repair.
Osteoarthritis has as main characteristics the degradation of articular cartilage and the formation of new bone at the joint edges, so-called osteophytes. In this study enhanced expression of TGF-beta1 and -beta3 was detected in developing osteophytes and articular cartilage during murine experimental osteoarthritis. To determine the role of endogenous TGF-beta on osteophyte formation and artic...
متن کاملMRI software measurement of osteophyte volume in knee osteoarthritis: a longitudinal validation study
Osteoarthritis (OA) currently affects 41 million Americans, and knee OA (KOA) alone causes the highest risk of mobility disability of any medical condition in people 65 years and older. There are no current treatments to reverse the degenerative changes of KOA, and research is aimed at finding biomarkers of KOA progression to aid in the development of effective therapies. Osteophytes are a hall...
متن کاملCyst Formation in Osteoarthritis.
In the advanced stages of osteoarthritis cystic formations are frequently encountered, ranging in size from that of a pin-point to that of a cherry. They occur mainly in relation to the weight-bearing joints, and in those regions of the articular surface that are subjected to a major load and where, in advanced osteoarthritis, the cartilaginous surface has been either entirely or largely worn a...
