Protective effect of sinomenine on cartilage degradation and chondrocytes apoptosis.
Sinomenine (SIN), an alkaloid extracted from the stem of the Chinese medicinal plant sinomenium acutum, has been used for treating rheumatoid arthritis. But little is known whether SIN has a protective effect on osteoarthritis (OA). In this study, we investigated the protective effect of SIN on IL-1beta-induced proteoglycan degradation and apoptosis in rabbit articular cartilage and chondrocyte...
متن کاملThe protective and destructive roles played by molecular chaperones during ERAD (endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation).
Over one-third of all newly synthesized polypeptides in eukaryotes interact with or insert into the membrane or the lumenal space of the ER (endoplasmic reticulum), an event that is essential for the subsequent folding, post-translational modification, assembly and targeting of these proteins. Consequently, the ER houses a large number of factors that catalyse protein maturation, but, in the ev...
متن کاملProtective effect of androgens against inflammation induced cartilage degradation in male rodents.
OBJECTIVES Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease which predominantly affects women. Interestingly, low serum androgen levels and clinical improvement with androgen replacement have been reported in male patients. The aetiopathogenic role of sex hormones in arthritis and their potential long term effects on joint destruction and disability remains unclear, however. This study was designed to in...
متن کاملProtective effects of manganese(II) chloride on hyaluronan degradation by oxidative system ascorbate plus cupric chloride
The degradation of several high-molar-mass hyaluronan samples was investigated in the presence of ascorbic acid itself and further by an oxidative system composed of ascorbic acid plus transition metal ions, i.e. Fe(II) or Cu(II) ions. The latter oxidative system imitates conditions in a joint synovial fluid during early phase of acute joint inflammation and can be used as a model for monitorin...
متن کاملAbnormal degradation of the neuronal stress-protective transcription factor HSF1 in Huntington's disease
Huntington's Disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by poly-glutamine expansion in the Htt protein, resulting in Htt misfolding and cell death. Expression of the cellular protein folding and pro-survival machinery by heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) ameliorates biochemical and neurobiological defects caused by protein misfolding. We report that HSF1 is degraded in cells and ...
