Exosite inhibition of ADAMTS-5 by a glycoconjugated arylsulfonamide [PDF]
ADAMTS-5 is a major protease involved in the turnover of proteoglycans such as aggrecan and versican. Dysregulated aggrecanase activity of ADAMTS-5 has been directly linked to the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA).

Inhibition of SMAD3 effectively reduces ADAMTS-5 expression in the early stages of osteoarthritis [PDF]
Objective As one of the most important protein-degrading enzymes, ADAMTS-5 plays an important role in the regulation of cartilage homeostasis, while miRNA-140 is specifically expressed in cartilage, which can inhibit the expression of ADAMTS-5 and delay ...

ADAMTS-1, ADAMTS-5 and ADAMTS-13 are considered potential targets in the treatment of frozen shoulder [PDF]
Background Frozen shoulder (FS) is a condition that causes shoulder pain and restricted movement, primarily due to inflammation, fibrosis, and adhesion of the shoulder joint capsule. It commonly affects individuals aged 30 to 60 years.

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

ADAMTS-5: The story so far [PDF]
The recent discovery of ADAMTS-5 as the major aggrecanase in mouse cartilage came as a surprise. A great deal of research had focused on ADAMTS-4 and much less was known about the regulation, expression and activity of ADAMTS-5. Two years on, it is still
