Regulation of MMP-3 expression and secretion by the chemokine eotaxin-1 in human chondrocytes

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2011
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the degradation of articular cartilage, marked by the breakdown of matrix proteins. Studies demonstrated the involvement of chemokines in this process, and some may potentially serve as diagnostic ...

Lack of Skeletal Effects in Mice with Targeted Disruptionof Prolyl Hydroxylase Domain 1 (Phd1) Gene Expressed in Chondrocytes

Life, 2022
The critical importance of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)s in the regulation of endochondral bone formation is now well established. HIF protein levels are closely regulated by the prolyl hydroxylase domain-containing protein (PHD) mediated ubiquitin ...

Primary cilia disassembly down regulates mechanosensitive hedgehog signalling: a feedback mechanism controlling ADAMTS-5 expression in chondrocytes [PDF]

, 2014
SummaryObjectiveHedgehog signalling is mediated by the primary cilium and promotes cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis. Primary cilia are influenced by pathological stimuli and cilia length and prevalence are increased in osteoarthritic cartilage ...

Gene Delivery to Chondrocytes

, 2023
AbstractDelivering genes to chondrocytes offers new possibilities both clinically, for treating conditions that affect cartilage, and in the laboratory, for studying the biology of chondrocytes. Advances in gene therapy have created a number of different viral and non-viral vectors for this purpose.

Ameliorative Effects of Cardamonin on Monosodium Urate-Induced Gouty Arthritis through Inhibiting NLRP3 Inflammasome Mediation

Medicina, 2021
Background and Objectives: Gouty arthritis is an acute inflammatory response caused by the precipitation of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in joints. The triggering of MSU leads to increased production of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1β ...

The growth plate sparing effects of the selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator, AL-438 [PDF]

, 2007
Long-term use of glucocorticoids (GC) can cause growth retardation in children due to their actions on growth plate chondrocytes. AL-438, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent that acts through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) retains full anti ...

Isorhamnetin inhibits mechanical stress-induced chondrocyte apoptosis through activation of the ROS/SRC/FOXO1 signaling pathway

Scientific Reports
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), a chronic degenerative disease, is characterized by pain without a satisfactory therapeutic strategy. Excessive mechanical pressure contributes to the pathological development of IDD by inducing chondrocyte ...
