Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein-induced complement activation in systemic sclerosis
INTRODUCTION Complexes between cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and the complement activation product C3b have been found in the circulation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. In systemic sclerosis (SSc) COMP expression in the skin is upregulated both in lesional and non-lesional skin, which is also reflected in an increased amount of circulating C...

متن کاملDegradation of Extracellular Matrix Molecules in Interleukin-1 Alpha Treated Bovine Nasal Cartilage
Background: This work aimed to show and compare the degradation time of some of cartilage extracellular matrix components using an in vitro model for cartilage degradation induced by interleukin-1 alpha. It is known that elucidation of molecular events under Interleukin-1 alpha induction of bovine nasal cartilage could obtain useful data to understand more about involving mechanisms for tissue ...
متن کاملImportance of Floating Chondrons in Cartilage Tissue Engineering
BACKGROUND Dedifferentiation of chondrocytes remains a major problem for cartilage tissue engineering. Chondrocytes loss differentiated phenotype in in vitro culture that is undesired for repair strategies. The chondrocyte is surrounded by a pericellular matrix (PCM), together forming the chondron. PCM has a positive effect on the maintenance of chondrocyte phenotype during culture in compar...
متن کاملCartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein as New Marker in Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. The early in diagnosis of RA is crucial. To facilitate diagnosis during the early stages of RA, when often not all clinical symptoms are manifest, a good serological marker is needed. Among serological markers are rheumatoid factor (RF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) C-reactive prot...
