Mitochondrial activity is modulated by TNFα and IL-1β in normal human chondrocyte cells
(Elsevier, 2006-05-05)
[Abstract] Objective. Pro-inflammatory cytokines play an important role in osteoarthritis (OA). In osteoarthritic cartilage, chondrocytes exhibit an alteration in mitochondrial activity. This study analyzes the effect of ...
iTRAQ-Based Analysis of Progerin Expression Reveals Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Reactive Oxygen Species Accumulation and Altered Proteostasis
(BioMed Central, 2015-06-12)
[Abstract]
Introduction. Nuclear accumulation of a mutant form of the nuclear protein Lamin-A, called Progerin (PG) or Lamin AΔ50, occurs in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) or Progeria, an accelerated aging ...
Proteomic Applications in the Study of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2014-02-07)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are undifferentiated cells with an unlimited capacity for self-renewal and able to differentiate towards specific lineages under appropriate conditions. MSCs are, a priori, a good target for ...
Lamin A Deregulation in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes an Impairment in their Chondrogenic Potential and Imbalance in their Response to Oxidative Stress
(Elsevier, 2013-07-26)
[Abstract] In the present study, we examined the effect of the over-expression of LMNA, or its mutant form progerin (PG), on the mesoderm differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human umbilical cord ...
Biodistribution and Immunogenicity of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells in a Rat Model of Intraarticular Chondrocyte Xenotransplantation
(Frontiers, 2017-11-06)
[Abstract] Xenogeneic chondrocytes and allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are considered a potential source of cells for articular cartilage repair. We here assessed the immune response triggered by xenogeneic ...
Study of Fucoidans as Natural Biomolecules for Therapeutical Applications in Osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2021-01-26)
[Abstract]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent articular chronic disease. Although, to date there is no cure for OA. Fucoidans, one of the main therapeutic components of brown algae, have emerged as promising molecules ...
Hydrogen sulfide and inflammatory joint diseases
(Bentham, 2017)
[Abstract] Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are widespread rheumatic diseases characterized by persistent inflammation and joint destruction. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous gas with ...
Effect of balneotherapy in sulfurous water on an in vivo murine model of osteoarthritis
(Springer, 2019-11-01)
[Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease that results in progressive cartilage destruction and subsequently joint dysfunction. Growing evidence indicates beneficial impact of balneological interventions ...
Intraarticular Administration Effect of Hydrogen Sulfide on an In Vivo Rat Model of Osteoarthritis
(MDPI, 2020-10-08)
[Abstract]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common articular chronic disease. However, its current treatment is limited and mostly symptomatic. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous gas with recognized physiological ...
Effect of hydrogen sulfide sources on inflammation and catabolic markers on interleukin 1β-stimulated human articular chondrocytes
(Elsevier, 2014-07)
[Abstract] Objective. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), the third gasotransmitter together with NO and CO, is emerging as a regulator of inflammation. To test if it might offer therapeutic value in the treatment of osteoarthritis ...
