Developmental Mechanisms in Articular Cartilage Degradation in Osteoarthritis

چکیده

Osteoarthritis is the most common arthritic condition, which involves progressive degeneration of articular cartilage. The most recent accomplishments have significantly advanced our understanding on the mechanisms of the disease development and progression. The most intriguing is the growing evidence indicating that extracellular matrix destruction in osteoarthritic articular cartilage resembles that in the hypertrophic zone of fetal growth plate during endochondral ossification. This suggests common regulatory mechanisms of matrix degradation in OA and in the development and can provide new approaches for the treatment of the disease by targeting reparation of chondrocyte phenotype.

Hypertrophic differentiation of chondrocytes in osteoarthritis: the developmental aspect of degenerative joint disorders

Osteoarthritis is characterized by a progressive degradation of articular cartilage leading to loss of joint function. The molecular mechanisms regulating pathogenesis and progression of osteoarthritis are poorly understood. Remarkably, some characteristics of this joint disease resemble chondrocyte differentiation processes during skeletal development by endochondral ossification. In healthy a...

The comparison of the effect of an aerobic training period and ozone therapy on gene expression of Beclin-1, AMPK and mTOR of articular cartilage tissue in rats model of osteoarthritis

Introduction The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks’ exercise training and ozone therapy on articular cartilage tissue mRNA Beclin-1, AMPK, and mTOR gene expression in rat’s model of osteoarthritis (OA). Materials and Methods In this experimental study, 40 adult male rats 210±10 gr were randomly divided into 5 groups: 1) control (CN), 2) OA, 3) OA + ozone, 4) OA + ex...

CD147 (Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinase Inducer-EMMPRIN) Expression by Human Articular Chondrocytes

Background: Integrins are a family of transmembrane proteins that allow communication between the extracellular matrix and the interior of cells. Chondrocytes, cells of articular cartilage, express integrins and these molecules appear to have a variety of roles including mechanotransduction. Integrins are known to associate with a number of accessory molecules such as CD147 that may act to regu...

Protective effects of human placenta extract on cartilage degradation in experimental osteoarthritis.

This study investigated the effect of human placenta extract (HPE) on cartilage degradation in vitro MG-63 cells, articular cartilage explants, and in vivo monoiodoacetate (MIA)-induced osteoarthritis (OA). Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 activity was measured in HPE-treated osteoblastic MG-63 cells. Articular cartilage explants in rabbit were cultured, and the degree of proteoglycan (PG) degr...
