Sites of Aggrecan Cleavage by Recombinant Human Aggrecanase-1 (ADAMTS-4) [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
Aggrecan, the major proteoglycan of cartilage that provides its mechanical properties of compressibility and elasticity, is one of the first matrix components to undergo measurable loss in arthritic diseases. Two major sites of proteolytic cleavage have been identified within the interglobular domain (IGD) of the aggrecan core protein, one between ...

ADAMTS 1, 4, 12, and 13 levels in maternal blood, cord blood, and placenta in preeclampsia

Hypertension in Pregnancy, 2018
The aim of this study is to compare ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease Domains with Thrombospondins motifs) 1, 4, 12, and 13 levels in maternal and cord blood and placental tissue between preeclampsia and uncomplicated pregnancies.

Treatment of Dystrophic mdx Mice with an ADAMTS-5 Specific Monoclonal Antibody Increases the Ex Vivo Strength of Isolated Fast Twitch Hindlimb Muscles

Biomolecules, 2020
Aberrant extracellular matrix synthesis and remodeling contributes to muscle degeneration and weakness in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). ADAMTS-5, a secreted metalloproteinase with catalytic activity against versican, is implicated in myogenesis and ...

Suramin attenuates intervertebral disc degeneration by inhibiting NF-κB signalling pathway

Bone & Joint Research, 2021
Aims: Interleukin (IL)-1β is one of the major pathogenic regulators during the pathological development of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). However, effective treatment options for IDD are limited.

Immunothrombosis in cancer patients: contribution of neutrophil extracellular traps, ADAMTS-13 and von Willebrand factor

Акушерство, гинекология и репродукция, 2023
Introduction. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) are integral players in thrombosis and inflammation in cancer patients. It has been increasingly evident that an active interplay exists between NETs and vWF.

Clinical Validation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐based Cartilage Segmentation Predicting Knee Replacement

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective For cartilage morphology to serve as a scalable endpoint in clinical trials, analyses should be performed automatically without human interaction. To clinically validate artificial intelligence (AI)‐based analysis, we studied cartilage loss from MRI prior to knee replacement.

ADAMTS-7 Expression Increases in the Early Stage of Angiotensin II-Induced Renal Injury in Elderly Mice

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2014
Background/Aims: We investigated the recently described family of proteinases, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTs), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) as inflammatory mediators in inflammatory kidney damage by ...

Single‐Cell Resolution Mapping of Osteoarthritis‐Associated Chondrocyte Dynamics Using a High‐Density CMOS MEA Platform

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Single‐cell and spatially resolved impedance mapping using a high‐density CMOS‐MEA platform enables non‐invasive monitoring of osteoarthritis‐associated chondrocyte dynamics. Continuous label‐free measurements reveal heterogeneous remodeling behaviors, including proliferation, migration, and phenotypic transitions, establishing a powerful approach for ...

ADAMTS-1 and ADAMTS-4 Levels Are Elevated in Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2013
ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) is a recently identified family of extracellular metalloproteinases that has been shown to participate in tissue destruction. We hypothesized that ADAMTS-1 and ADAMTS-4 expression is increased in aortic tissues from patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections.We ...

Licochalcone A Inhibits MMPs and ADAMTSs via the NF-κB and Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathways in Rat Chondrocytes

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease in which cartilage degradation is the central pathological change. In this study, we investigated the anti-osteoarthritic effects of licochalcone A (Lico A) in rat chondrocytes. Methods: Polymerase chain
