Current status of nerve growth factor antibodies for the treatment of osteoarthritis pain.
Blockade of nerve growth factor (NGF) with antibodies is a promising strategy for treatment of chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA). This narrative review describes the current status of NGF-blockade for the treatment of OA pain. We summarise briefly current evidence for the efficacy and risks of anti-NGF blockade. Two anti-NGF antibodies, tanuzemab and fasinumab, are in active deve...
متن کاملEfficacy of nerve growth factor antibody in a knee osteoarthritis pain model in mice
BACKGROUND Nerve growth factor (NGF) is not only an important factor in nerve growth but also a major contributor to the production of inflammation. It has been reported that inhibiting NGF could reduce several types of pain in several animal models. Here, we aimed to clarify the efficacy of NGF antibody in a knee osteoarthritis (OA) pain model in mice. METHOD Six-week-old male C57BR/J mice w...
متن کاملMechanism and therapeutic effectiveness of nerve growth factor in osteoarthritis pain
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of articular joint arthritis and a cause of significant morbidity. In this review, we present the role of nerve growth factor (NGF) in pain generation, relationship between NGF and OA pain, and pathogenic factors (interleukin-1β, transforming growth factor-β1, mechanical loading, and adipokines) involved in OA development. Since NGF blocking is an eff...
متن کاملNerve growth factor in human semen: Effect of nerve growth factor on the normozoospermic men during cryopreservation process
Objective(s):Althoughroutinely applied in assisted reproductive technology, human sperm cryopreservation is not a completely successful procedure. Adverse effects of cryopreservation on the fertilization capacity, motility, morphology, and viability of spermatozoa have been proven; cryopreservation has also shown a role in sperm DNA fragmentation and infertility. The post-thaw survival of sperm...
متن کاملThe nerve of osteoarthritis pain.
OBJECTIVE Cumulative data suggest that central sensitization may contribute to pain in osteoarthritis (OA) and present with symptoms typically associated with neuropathic pain (NP). We evaluated the responses from focus group participants on the knee OA pain experience for pain descriptions that suggest NP. METHODS Focus group transcripts were analyzed by 2 independent assessors for unprompte...
