Aggrecan: A target molecule of autoimmune reactions

Pathology & Oncology Research, 1996
Aggrecan in cartilage forms aggregates with hyaluronan and link protein, embedded in a collagen network. It accounts for the compressive stiffness and resilience of the hyaline cartilage. Many forms of inflammatory arthritis were shown to be accompanied with aggrecan degradation and loss from the cartilage. The loss of this major component of cartilage

Review of articular cartilage repair techniques and their application in the horse

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Articular cartilage lesions represent a significant career‐limiting problem in athletic horses. A healthy articular cartilage surface is vital for optimal joint function, and defects can result in irreversible degenerative changes. Successful treatment of cartilage lesions remains a long‐standing challenge for orthopaedic surgeons, prompting ...

Proteomic signatures of equine dental tooth tissues in ageing and disease

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ageing and dental disease in horses lead to structural and functional deterioration of dental tissues, yet their molecular signatures remain poorly characterised. Understanding how these processes alter the protein composition of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp is essential for improving equine oral health and identifying ...

Cant1 Affects Cartilage Proteoglycan Properties: Aggrecan and Decorin Characterization in a Mouse Model of Desbuquois Dysplasia Type 1

Biomolecules
Desbuquois dysplasia type 1 (DBQD1) is a recessive chondrodysplasia caused by mutations in the CANT1 gene, encoding for the Golgi Calcium-Activated Nucleotidase 1 (CANT1). The enzyme hydrolyzes UDP, the by-product of glycosyltransferase reactions, but it

CD8+ T‐cells, CD86+ macrophages and TNF‐α signalling pathways are correlated with fetlock osteoarthritis in racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background There is emerging evidence for the role of the immune system in osteoarthritis (OA) pathophysiology; however, little is known about how immune cells and the synovial transcriptome are altered in naturally occurring equine OA. Objectives To evaluate synovial fluid (SF) and synovial membrane (SM) immune cell populations and the SM ...

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.

Recent Advances in Cryogel Applications for Musculoskeleatal Regeneration

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels have been widely used in tissue engineering due to their high‐water content and biocompatibility, yet their densely cross‐linked microstructure inherently limits cell infiltration, mass transport, and mechanical support. Cryogels, formed through partial freezing and crosslinking under subzero conditions, provide unique 3D macroporous

Lixisenatide attenuates advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced degradation of extracellular matrix in human primary chondrocytes

Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 2019
Osteoarthritis (OA) poses a growing threat to the health of the global population. Accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) has been shown to upregulate expression of degradative enzymes such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and a ...
