Proteoglycan-induced changes in T1rho-relaxation of articular cartilage at 4T.
Proteoglycan (PG) depletion-induced changes in T1rho (spin-lattice relaxation in rotating frame) relaxation and dispersion in articular cartilage were studied at 4T. Using a spin-lock cluster pre-encoded fast spin echo sequence, T1rho maps of healthy bovine specimens and specimens that were subjected to PG depletion were computed at varying spin-lock frequencies. Sequential PG depletion was ind...
متن کاملArticular cartilage proteoglycan biosynthesis and sulfation
Glucosamine (GlcN) and glucosamine sulfate (GS) have been used to treat the patients with osteoarthritis (OA) as a disease-modifying agent. Previous in vitro studies have focused on the effects of GlcN or GS on cartilage metabolism, whereas in vivo studies have investigated their potential for the treatment of OA. Although these results have raised promises of the disease-modifying effects of G...
متن کاملMetalloproteases of human articular cartilage that digest cartilage proteoglycan at neutral and acid pH.
Extracts of human articular cartilage contain proteases capable of degrading the proteoglycan component of cartilage matrix at neutral and acid pH. These enzymes have been partially purified by ion exchange chromotography and characterized by disc electrophoresis, inhibition patterns, and action of proteoglycan. Three distinct metalloproteases are described. A neutral protease that digests prot...
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...
متن کاملAge-related changes in the structure of the proteoglycan subunits from human articular cartilage.
The proteoglycan of articular cartilage provides this tissue with its elastic properties, and the structure of these molecules plays a major role in determining the resilience of the tissue to compression. In the present paper we have shown that the structure of the proteoglycan subunits in human articular cartilage changes considerably between the fetus and the mature adult. These changes occu...
