MMPs and ADAMTSs: functional studies.
Members of the MMP (matrix metalloproteinase) and ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type I motifs) families of enzymes are capable of cleaving a diverse array of cellular, extracellular and extracellular matrix substrates, including collagens and procollagens, proteoglycans, cytokines and cytokine ligands, chemokines, elastin and von Willebrand factor, thereby modu...
متن کاملCorrelation between the histological grade of chondrosarcoma and the expression of MMPs, ADAMTSs and TIMPs.
BACKGROUND The malignant degree of human chondrosarcoma can be difficult to determine using only histological findings. We, therefore, assessed the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTSs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in chondrosarcoma and ascertained the relationships to histological de...
متن کاملTargeting senescence to combat osteoarthritis
developmental stage, and nutritional environment. Kobayashi et al. identified Holliday junction resolvase as a key factor in the dynamism of chloroplast nucleoids in the unicellular green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The gene encoding the resolvase is ubiquitously conserved among green plants. Disruption or down-regulation of this gene also disturbed chloroplast nucleoid organization and se...
متن کاملTargeting subchondral bone in osteoporotic osteoarthritis
The identification of well-defined phenotypes along the course of the disease may open new avenues for personalized management in osteoarthritis (OA). In vivo research carried out in various animal models as well as epidemiological and clinical data support the existence of a particular phenotype - osteoporotic OA. In fact, subchondral bone has become a potential therapeutic target in OA. Depen...
متن کاملProtection from osteoarthritis: targeting mTOR and autophagy
BACKGROUND and OBJECTIVES: mTOR (a serine/threonine protein kinase) is a major repressor of autophagy, a cell survival mechanism. The specific in vivo mechanism of mTOR signalling in OA pathophysiology is not fully characterised. We determined the expression of mTOR and known autophagy genes in human OA cartilage as well as mouse and dog models of experimental OA. We created cartilage-specific ...
