      [Abstract] To evaluate the influence of mitochondrial DNA haplogroups on the risk of knee OA in terms of their interaction with obesity, in a population from Mexico. Samples were obtained from (n = 353) knee OA patients ...
    • Soluble inflammatory mediators of synoviocytes stimulated by monosodium urate crystals induce the production of oxidative stress, pain, and inflammation mediators in chondrocytes 

      López-Reyes, Alberto; Medina-Luna, Daniel; Santamaría-Olmedo, Mónica; Martínez-Flores, Karina; Zamudio-Cuevas, Yessica; Fernández-Torres, Javier; Martínez-Nava, Gabriela Angélica; Olivos-Meza, Anell; Camacho-Rea, Carmen; Fernández-Moreno, Mercedes; Blanco García, Francisco J; Pineda, Carlos (Springer, 2021-03-16)
      [Abstract] We hypothesized that the secretion of inflammatory mediators from synoviocytes affects the chondrocyte homeostasis of articular cartilage. This study was a preliminary attempt to elucidate the molecular mechanisms ...
