Comparative proteomic analysis of hypertrophic chondrocytes in osteoarthritis
(2015)Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multi-factorial disease leading progressively to loss of articular cartilage and subsequently to loss of joint function. While hypertrophy of chondrocytes is a physiological process ... -
Differential expression of leptin and leptin's receptor isoform (Ob-Rb) mRNA between advanced and minimally affected osteoarthritic cartilage; effect on cartilage metabolism
(2007)Objective: To investigate leptin's effect on cartilage metabolism and the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and protein levels of leptin and leptin's receptor isoforms were ... -
Hypoxia-induced collagen crosslinking as a mechanism for enhancing mechanical properties of engineered articular cartilage
(2013)Objective: The focus of tissue engineering of neocartilage has traditionally been on enhancing extracellular matrix and thus biomechanical properties. Emphasis has been placed on the enhancement of collagen type and quantity, ... -
Induced Collagen Cross-Links Enhance Cartilage Integration
(2013)Articular cartilage does not integrate due primarily to a scarcity of cross-links and viable cells at the interface. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that lysyl-oxidase, a metalloenzyme that forms ... -
Molecular changes indicative of cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis development in patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury Pathophysiology of musculoskeletal disorders
(2016)Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is considered a risk factor for osteoarthritis development. The purpose of our study was to investigate the expression levels of the apoptotic enzyme caspase 3, pro-inflammatory ...
