Octacalcium phosphate crystals directly stimulate expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase through p38 and JNK mitogen-activated protein kinases in articular chondrocytes [PDF]
Basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystals, including hydroxyapatite, octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and carbonate-apatite, have been associated with severe osteoarthritis and several degenerative arthropathies.

Background Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) provide an unlimited patient-specific cell source for regenerative medicine. Adult cells have had limited success in cartilage repair, but juvenile chondrocytes (from donors younger than 13 years of age ...

CCL2 induces articular chondrocyte MMP expression through ERK and p38 signaling pathways
Objective: In previous studies, we determined an association between increased serum and articular cartilage levels of CCL2 with osteoarthritis (OA) progression, cartilage damage and increased MMP13 in cartilage.

Response of human engineered cartilage based on articular or nasal chondrocytes to interleukin-1? and low oxygen [PDF]
Previous studies showed that human nasal chondrocytes (HNC) exhibit higher proliferation and chondrogenic capacity as compared to human articular chondrocytes (HAC).

Metaplasia of Chondrocytes into Osteoblasts
Hypertrophic chondrocytes, commonly considered as terminal cells responsible for apoptotic elimination in endochondral osteogenesis, have the potential to switch their metabolic role and enter osteoblastic differentiation, based on histochemical, immunohistochemical, biochemical and cytological analysis.

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

In vitro and in vivo validation of human and goat chondrocyte labeling by green fluorescent protein lentivirus transduction [PDF]
We investigated whether human articular chondrocytes can be labeled efficiently and for long-term with a green fluorescent protein (GFP) lentivirus and whether the viral transduction would influence cell proliferation and tissue-forming capacity.

Expressions of local renin-angiotensin system components in chondrocytes
In 2013, we reported that local renin-angiotensin system (local RAS) components express during the hypertrophic differentiation of chondrocytes and can modulate it, using ATDC5 cell line that involves differentiation from mesenchymal stem cells to ...
