Knockdown of ADAMTS4 by scAAV6 mediated shRNA. [PDF]
1 x 105 NP cells were transduced with 5000 vg/c of recombinant scAAV6 vectors AAV6-Ctrl or AAV6-ADAMTS4. On day 3 of post-transduction monolayer transduced and non-transduced NP cells were transferred to scaffold and harvested on day 8, 16, 24, 32 and 48.

Single Nucleotide Variants of Candidate Genes in Aggrecan Metabolic Pathway Are Associated with Lumbar Disc Degeneration and Modic Changes. [PDF]
Lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) is genetically determined and severity of LDD is associated with Modic changes. Aggrecan is a major proteoglycan in the intervertebral disc and end plate. Progressive reduction of aggrecan is a main feature of LDD and Modic

Specific impact AAV6-ADAMTS4 on the levels of ADAMTS4 and aggrecan. [PDF]
To examine whether AAV6-ADAMTS4 induces unspecific changes in the expression levels of catabolic, inflammatory and matrix proteins in degenerative NP cells, the expression levels of ADAMTS5, IL-1β, TNF-α and collagen II were examined by using ELISA.

A novel association between TGFb1 and ADAMTS4 in coronary artery disease: A new potential mechanism in the progression of atherosclerosis and diabetes [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery disease is characterized by atherosclerosis in the vessel wall. Recently, it has been thought that increasing LDL-binding capacity of subendothelial proteoglycan fragments that are formed by protease activity can be responsible

Antioxidative behavior of a2-macroglobulin in intervertebral disc degeneration [PDF]
Background: To clarify if a2-macroglobulin (a2M) has an antioxidative effect during the progression of the intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). Methods: The content of a2M and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured to compare mildly and severely

Relationship between ADAMTS4 and carotid atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability in humans [PDF]
Rupture of atherosclerotic plaques and the resulting thrombosis are vital causes of clinical ischemic events. Recent studies have shown that ADAMTS4 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4) is a pathogenic factor of plaque vulnerability in mice.

Enhancement of aggrecan induced by scAAV6 mediated knockdown of ADAMTS4. [PDF]
Viral dose of 5000 vg/c from recombinant scAAV6 vectors AAV6-Ctrl or AAV6-ADAMTS4 were used for transduction of 1 x 105 NP cells. On day 3 of post-transduction, treated and untreated NP cells were transferred to scaffold and harvested on day 8, 16, 24 ...

Regulation of ADAMTS Proteases
A disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type I motifs (ADAMTS) proteases are secreted metalloproteinases that play key roles in the formation, homeostasis and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Cell Death–associated ADAMTS4 and Versican Degradation in Vascular Tissue [PDF]
High blood flow through baboon polytetrafluorethylene aorto-iliac grafts increases neointimal vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) death, neointimal atrophy, and cleavage of versican to generate the DPEAAE neoepitope, a marker of ADAMTS-mediated proteolysis.
