Potassium channels in articular chondrocytes [PDF]

Channels, 2012
Chondrocytes are the resident cells of cartilage, which synthesize and maintain the extracellular matrix. The range of known potassium channels expressed by these unique cells is continually increasing. Since chondrocytes are non-excitable, and do not need to be repolarized following action potentials, the function of potassium channels in these cells ...

Thermoresponsive BrushGel Microcarriers for Efficient Cell Expansion and Enzyme‐Reduced Harvesting

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Askari et al, report on temperature‐responsive microcarriers to minimize enzyme use and cost in dynamic cultures. Abstract Scaling up cell therapy requires efficient expansion of high‐quality cells. Microcarrier(MC)‐based systems offer high surface‐to‐volume ratios and reduce culture media usage.

Knockdown of TRIM8 Attenuates IL-1β-induced Inflammatory Response in Osteoarthritis Chondrocytes Through the Inactivation of NF-κB Pathway

Cell Transplantation, 2020
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease associated with inflammatory response. Tripartite motif 8 (TRIM8) is a member of TRIM family that has been found to regulate inflammation. The present study was aimed to evaluate the role of TRIM8 in OA

Comparative Effectiveness of Structural versus Regulatory Protein Gene Transfer on Articular Chondrocyte Matrix Gene Expression [PDF]

, 2019
OBJECTIVE: The production of extracellular matrix is a necessary component of articular cartilage repair. Gene transfer is a promising method to improve matrix biosynthesis by articular chondrocytes.

The role of the chondrocyte in osteoarthritis [PDF]

Arthritis & Rheumatism, 2000
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a slowly progressive degenerative disease characterized by gradual loss of articular cartilage. Since the OA lesion is often localized to weight-bearing cartilage or to sites of trauma, repetitive mechanical injury has been proposed as the critical signal for the initiation and progression of OA. It is now generally accepted that

Microphysiological Systems for Comorbidity Studies: Chronic Kidney Disease and Osteoarthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights the potential of organ‐on‐a‐chip systems for studying comorbidities, using chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoarthritis (OA) as examples. It summarizes recent advances in kidney‐on‐a‐chip and joint‐on‐a‐chip models and discusses their current and potential application in investigating CKD, OA, and CKD‐OA comorbidity, aiming to

The Regulatory Role of Signaling Crosstalk in Hypertrophy of MSCs and Human Articular Chondrocytes

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015
Hypertrophic differentiation of chondrocytes is a main barrier in application of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for cartilage repair. In addition, hypertrophy occurs occasionally in osteoarthritis (OA).

Interleukin-1β sequesters hypoxia inducible factor 2α to the primary cilium. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: The primary cilium coordinates signalling in development, health and disease. Previously we have shown that the cilium is essential for the anabolic response to loading and the inflammatory response to interleukin-1β (IL-1β).

Conditioned Media from Mechanically Stimulated Macrophages Upregulate Osteogenic Genes in Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Bone fracture healing is a complex, timely orchestrated scenario involving multiple cell types and a plethora of cytokines and regulatory factors. To gain further insight, an in vitro model to a) study macrophage polarization under mechanical load in a fibrin hydrogel and b) subsequently assess the effect of conditioned media derived from macrophages ...

Decreased levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor relevant to the ossification disturbance in femoral heads spontaneous hypertensive rats. [PDF]

, 2006
Ossification disturbance in femoral head reportedly is seen in the Spontaneously Hypertensive rats (SHR) between ages of 10 and 20 weeks. We investigated serum and tissue levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and vascular endothelial growth ...
