The n-acetyl phenylalanine glucosamine derivative attenuates the inflammatory/catabolic environment in a chondrocyte-synoviocyte co-culture system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent degenerative joint disease, still lacks a true disease-modifying therapy. The involvement of the NF-κB pathway and its upstream activating kinases in OA pathogenesis has been recognized for many years.

Rapamycin protects chondrocytes against IL-18-induced apoptosis and ameliorates rat osteoarthritis

open access: yesAging, 2020
Interleukin 18 (IL-18) promotes inflammation and apoptosis in chondrocytes, thereby contributing to the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA).

Human iPSC-derived chondrocytes mimic juvenile chondrocyte function for the dual advantage of increased proliferation and resistance to IL-1β

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy, 2017
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 ...

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.

Runx2 is essential for the transdifferentiation of chondrocytes into osteoblasts

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2020
Chondrocytes proliferate and mature into hypertrophic chondrocytes. Vascular invasion into the cartilage occurs in the terminal hypertrophic chondrocyte layer, and terminal hypertrophic chondrocytes die by apoptosis or transdifferentiate into osteoblasts.

Differences in Cartilage-Forming Capacity of Expanded Human Chondrocytes from Ear and Nose and Their Gene Expression Profiles

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2011
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of culture-expanded human auricular and nasoseptal chondrocytes as cell source for regeneration of stable cartilage and to analyze the differences in gene expression profile of expanded chondrocytes ...

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 ...

Expressions of local renin-angiotensin system components in chondrocytes

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2014
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 ...

Management of Osteoarthritis with Avocado/Soybean Unsaponifiables. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful and life-altering disease that severely limits the daily activity of millions of Americans, and is one of the most common causes of disability in the world. With obesity on the rise and the worlds population living longer,
