Osteoarthritis: An Immuno‐Inflammatory Disease‐Mechanisms of Immune Cell Dysregulation and Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the immuno‐inflammatory mechanisms driving the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), extending beyond the traditional view of OA as a purely degenerative disease to incorporate immune cell infiltration, inflammatory factor release, and the formation of a chronic low‐grade inflammatory microenvironment.

Purification and Activity Determination of ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5 and Their Domain Deleted Mutants [PDF]

, 2019
A disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type-1 motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4) and ADAMTS-5 are zinc-dependent metalloproteinases that are involved in the maintenance of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) and are currently considered the major aggrecanases in the development of osteoarthritis.

Senotherapeutics for Knee Osteoarthritis

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease that imposes a significant economic burden and deteriorates quality of life. Nevertheless, current therapeutic options for OA are limited to symptomatic remedies. As such, there is a high interest in novel methods for treating or preventing OA.

Brain metastasis‐associated fibroblasts shape the tumour microenvironment to enhance cancer cell invasion

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Brain metastasis‐associated fibroblasts are active stromal components of the metastatic niche characterised by extracellular matrix remodelling and production of pro‐migratory mediators. They promote monocyte and cancer cell migration and enhance cancer cell invasion while having no growth‐promoting effect on cancer cells.

Early Intervention Strategies For Acute Cartilage Injury

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2015
Objectives: Traumatic injury to cartilage has been shown to lead to Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis (PTOA). The acute phase of PTOA is characterized with increased expression of aggrecanases and inflammatory cytokines in the injured cartilage.

The endogenous proteoglycan-degrading enzyme ADAMTS-4 promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2012
Background Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans are major inhibitory molecules for neural plasticity under both physiological and pathological conditions. The chondroitin sulfate degrading enzyme chondroitinase ABC promotes functional recovery after spinal ...

Understanding extracellular vesicles in antiaging

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Aging is a multifactorial process marked by gradual cellular dysregulation, regulated by hallmarks, including genomic instability, mitochondrial dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, have emerged as pivotal mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication with potential roles in both ...
