Lack of association of single nucleotide polymorphism in LRCH1 with knee osteoarthritis susceptibility
(2008)
A genetic association of knee osteoarthritis (OA) and a C/T transition single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs912428) located in intron 1 of the LRCH1 gene has recently been reported in European Caucasians; however, the ...
Lower fibroblast growth factor 23 levels in young adults with crohn disease as a possible secondary compensatory effect on the disturbance of bone and mineral metabolism
(2014)
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is a bone-derived circulating phosphaturic factor that decreases serum concentration of phosphate and vitamin D, suggested to actively participate in a complex renal-gastrointestinal-skeletal ...
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-3 and extracellular inorganic phosphate activate mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway through fibroblast growth factor 23 contributing to hypertrophy and mineralization in osteoarthritic chondrocytes
(2012)
Hypertrophy and impaired mineralization are two processes closely associated with osteoarthritis (OA). 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (1a,25(OH)(2)D-3) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) are two important factors that are implicated ...
The Catabolic Role of Toll-Like Receptor 2 (TLR-2) Mediated by the NF-kappa B Pathway in Septic Arthritis
(2011)
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are involved in mediating cell activation on stimulation with microbial components. Our objective was to investigate the role of 'PLR-2 mediated by the NF-kappa B pathway in septic arthritic ...
The growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) core promoter polymorphism is not associated with knee osteoarthritis in the Greek population
(2008)
Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA). A functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) +104T/C; rs143383 in the 5' UTR of the GDF5 gene was recently associated ...
Involvement of SOX-9 and FGF-23 in RUNX-2 regulation in osteoarthritic chondrocytes
(2009)
Chondrocytes' hypertrophy includes metabolic changes, matrix remodelling, proliferation and apoptosis, characteristics associated with the progression of osteoarthritis. We investigated a possible association among ...
Bone morphogenetic protein-2-induced Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway activation through enhanced low-density-lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 catabolic activity contributes to hypertrophy in osteoarthritic chondrocytes
(2012)
Introduction: Events normally taking place in the terminal chondrocyte differentiation in the growth plate are also observed during osteoarthritis (OA) development, suggesting that molecules, such as Wnts and bone morphogenetic ...
Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 5 (LRP5) Expression in Human Osteoarthritic Chondrocytes
(2010)
The aim of this study was to investigate the activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in osteoarthritis and the role of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes. The ...
Lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 (LOX-1) expression in human articular chondrocytes
(2007)
Objective To investigate the involvement of oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and the expression of its receptor lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 (LOX-1) in osteoarthritis, by determining the ...
