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 ...
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 ...
Central Role of SREBP-2 in the Pathogenesis of Osteoarthritis
(2012)
Background: Recent studies have implied that osteoarthritis (OA) is a metabolic disease linked to deregulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism and cholesterol efflux. Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Proteins (SREBPs) ...
Clinical and molecular description of a fetus in prenatal diagnosis with a rare de novo ring 10 and deletions of 12.59 Mb in 10p15.3-p14 and 4.22 Mb in 10q26.3
(2012)
Ring chromosomes are rare cytogenetic findings and are mostly associated with an abnormal phenotype. We report on the prenatal diagnosis of a ring chromosome 10 in a fetus in which talipes equinovarus was incidentally found ...
Association of a BMP5 microsatellite with knee osteoarthritis: case-control study
(2012)
Introduction: We aimed to explore the involvement of a multiallelic functional polymorphism in knee osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility as a prototype of possible genetic factors escaping GWAS detection. Methods: OA patients ...
A large-scale replication study for the association of rs17039192 in HIF-2 alpha with knee osteoarthritis
(2012)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease with a genetic component for its etiology. Recently, a genetic association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs17039192 in HIF-2a with knee OA has been reported in a Japanese ...
