LncRNA Malat-1 From MSCs-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Suppresses Inflammation and Cartilage Degradation in Osteoarthritis

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Purpose: Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) derived from hMSCs, have the potential to alleviate cartilage damage and inflammation. We aimed to explore the effects of EVs derived from lncRNA malat‐1-overexpressing human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) on ...

The chondrocyte primary cilium [PDF]

open access: yesOsteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2014
The presence and role of primary, or non-motile, cilia on chondrocytes has confused cartilage researchers for decades. Initial explanations attributed a vestigial nature to chondrocyte cilia. Evidence is now emerging that supports the role of the chondrocyte primary cilium as a sensory organelle, in particular, in mechanotransduction and as a ...

Neural cell adhesion molecule regulates chondrocyte hypertrophy in chondrogenic differentiation and experimental osteoarthritis

open access: yesStem Cells Translational Medicine, 2020
Chondrocyte hypertrophy‐like change is an important pathological process of osteoarthritis (OA), but the mechanism remains largely unknown. Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is highly expressed and involved in the chondrocyte differentiation of ...

Mechanics of chondrocyte hypertrophy [PDF]

open access: yesBiomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, 2011
Chondrocyte hypertrophy is a characteristic of osteoarthritis and dominates bone growth. Intra- and extracellular changes that are known to be induced by metabolically active hypertrophic chondrocytes are known to contribute to hypertrophy. However, it is unknown to which extent these mechanical conditions together can be held responsible for the total

Doxycycline preserves chondrocyte viability and function in human and calf articular cartilage ex vivo

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2020
Prolonging chondrocyte survival is essential to ensure fresh osteochondral (OC) grafts for treatment of articular cartilage lesions. Doxycycline has been shown to enhance cartilage growth, disrupt terminal differentiation of chondrocytes, and inhibit ...

Smad4 regulates growth plate matrix production and chondrocyte polarity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Smad4 is an intracellular effector of the TGFβ family that has been implicated in Myhre syndrome, a skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, brachydactyly and stiff joints.

Detection and characterization of Sp1 binding activity in human chondrocytes and its alterations during chondrocyte dedifferentiation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
We have detected DNA binding activity for a synthetic oligonucleotide containing an Sp1 consensus sequence in nuclear extracts from human chondrocytes. Changes in the levels of Sp1 oligonucleotide binding activity were examined in nuclear extracts from ...

The chondro-osseous continuum: is it possible to unlock the potential assigned within? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Endochondral ossification (EO), by which long bones of the axial skeleton form, is a tightly regulated process involving chondrocyte maturation with successive stages of proliferation, maturation, and hypertrophy, accompanied by cartilage matrix ...

Mechanotransduction pathways in the regulation of cartilage chondrocyte homoeostasis

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2020
Mechanical stress plays a critical role in cartilage development and homoeostasis. Chondrocytes are surrounded by a narrow pericellular matrix (PCM), which absorbs dynamic and static forces and transmits them to the chondrocyte surface.
