چکیده

We have measured the concentration of cartilage-derived retinoic-acid-sensitive protein (CD-RAP) in synovial fluid (SF) from the knees of 49 patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and 79 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in order to investigate the correlation between the type of joint disease and level of CD-RAP. The mean concentration of CD-RAP in synovial fluid was significantly higher in OA than in RA. The level of CD-RAP in the group of patients with mild OA was significantly higher than in the moderate or severe groups and that in the group with mild RA was also significantly higher than in the other RA groups and decreased with progression of the disease. Immunohistochemical studies showed expression of CD-RAP in the cytoplasm of chondrocytes in newly-formed fibrocartilage. Since CD-RAP is mainly produced in young and proliferating chondrocytes, our results suggest that the level of CD-RAP in synovial fluid reflects remodelling of articular cartilage and may be used as a marker to estimate objectively the restorative reaction of chondrocytes.

مقایسه سطح پروتئین شوک حرارتی- 70 در مایع سینویال بیماران مبتلا به آرتریت روماتوئید و اوستئوآرتریت

Background: Heat-shock proteins are part of a strictly controlled biological system that allows organisms to respond to environmental stresses. Different proinflammatory cytokines are present in the synovial tissue of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Such tissues respond to stress and induce heat-shock proteins. In addition, synovial cells are exposed to mechanical stress caused by joint motion. ...

Expression of Retinoic Acid Receptor (RAR) α Protein in the Synovial Membrane from Patients with Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis

Retinoic acid receptors (RAR) are expressed in inflammatory cells and, through ligand binding, play an important role in cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as in regulation of cytokine and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) production. Inflammatory cytokines and MMPs play a significant role in cartilage destruction in osteoarthritis (OA) and in joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis...

Introduction: Pain and swelling in joints is a fundamental feature of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA),it is a chronic multisystem disease of unknown cause. Osteoarthritis (OA) has been characterized by progressive articular cartilage loss and osteophyte formation. Objective: Thisstudy was undertaken to evaluate whether it is possible to distinguish OA from RA by comparing LDH, ALP, Uric Acid and ACP ...

Regulation of the mouse cartilage-derived retinoic acid-sensitive protein gene by the transcription factor AP-2.

The expression of cartilage-derived retinoic acid-sensitive protein (CD-RAP) is initiated at the beginning of chondrogenesis and continues throughout the cartilage development. In chondrocytes, CD-RAP is down-regulated by retinoic acid. To understand the molecular mechanism underlying this regulation and the cell-specific expression, the deletion constructs of the mouse CD-RAP promoter were tra...
