Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor-related Protein 1 (LRP1)-mediated Endocytic Clearance of a Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4) FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENCES OF NON-CATALYTIC DOMAINS OF ADAMTS-4 AND ADAMTS-5 IN LRP1 BINDING [PDF]
Degradation of the cartilage proteoglycan aggrecan is an early event in the development of osteoarthritis, and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4) and ADAMTS-5 are considered to be the major aggrecan-degrading ...

The emerging chondrocyte channelome [PDF]
Chondrocytes are the resident cells of articular cartilage and are responsible for synthesizing a range of collagenous and non-collagenous extracellular matrix macromolecules. Whilst chondrocytes exist at low densities in the tissue (1-10% of the total tissue volume in mature cartilage) they are extremely active cells and are capable of responding to a

Background: Exosomes secreted by human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have been shown to promote cartilage regeneration. This study aimed to explore whether exosomal lncRNA-KLF3-AS1 derived from hMSCs can promote chondrocyte proliferation via miR-206 ...

The role of changes in extracellular matrix of cartilage in the presence of inflammation on the pathology of osteoarthritis. [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that affects various tissues surrounding joints such as articular cartilage, subchondral bone, synovial membrane, and ligaments.

Role of galectin-3 in bone cell differentiation, bone pathophysiology and vascular osteogenesis [PDF]
Galectin-3 is expressed in various tissues, including the bone, where it is considered a marker of chondrogenic and osteogenic cell lineages. Galectin-3 protein was found to be increased in the differentiated chondrocytes of the metaphyseal plate ...

SOX9 governs differentiation stage-specific gene expression in growth plate chondrocytes via direct concomitant transactivation and repression. [PDF]
Cartilage and endochondral bone development require SOX9 activity to regulate chondrogenesis, chondrocyte proliferation, and transition to a non-mitotic hypertrophic state.

Superoxide dismutase downregulation in osteoarthritis progression and end-stage disease [PDF]
Oxidative stress is proposed as an important factor in osteoarthritis (OA). To investigate the expression of the three superoxide dismutase (SOD) antioxidant enzymes in OA.
