Leukocyte telomere length in patients with radiographic knee osteoarthritis
(Wiley, 2019-11-29)
[Abstract] Relative mean telomere sequence amount was determined by quantitative PCR (qPCR) of peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) samples obtained at recruitment (n = 310) from individuals from the Osteoarthritis (OA) ...
Generating Rho-0 cells using mesenchymal stem cell lines
(PLoS, 2016-10-20)
[Abstract] Introduction, The generation of Rho-0 cells requires the use of an immortalization process, or tumor cell selection, followed by culture in the presence of ethidium bromide (EtBr), incurring the drawbacks its ...
Mitochondrial genetics and epigenetics in osteoarthritis
(Frontiers, 2020-01-17)
[Abstract] During recent years, the significant influence of mitochondria on osteoarthritis (OA), the most common joint disease, has been consistently demonstrated. Not only mitochondrial dysfunction but also mitochondrial ...
Predictive modeling of therapeutic response to chondroitin sulfate/glucosamine hydrochloride in knee osteoarthritis
(Sage, 2019-08-24)
[Abstract] Background: In the present study, we explored potential protein biomarkers useful to predict the therapeutic response of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients treated with pharmaceutical grade Chondroitin ...
Specific premature epigenetic aging of cartilage in osteoarthritis
(Impact Journals, 2016-09-28)
[Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease affecting multiple tissues of the joints in the elderly, but most notably articular cartilage. Premature biological aging has been described in this tissue and in blood cells, ...
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups influence the progression of knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI)
(PLoS, 2014-11-12)
[Abstract] OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the influence of the mtDNA haplogroups on knee osteoarthritis progression in Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) participants through longitudinal data from radiographs and magnetic resonance ...
Mitochondrial DNA haplogroups influence the risk of incident knee osteoarthritis in OAI and CHECK cohorts: a meta-analysis and functional study
(BMJ, 2016-12-05)
[Abstract] Objective To evaluate the influence of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups in the risk of incident knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to explain the functional consequences of this association to identify potential ...
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups J and H are differentially associated with the methylation status of articular cartilage: potential role in apoptosis and metabolic and developmental processes
(Wiley, 2019-02-12)
[Abstract] Objective. To analyze the influence of mitochondrial genome variation on the DNA methylome of articular cartilage.
Methods. DNA methylation profiling was performed using data deposited in the NCBI Gene ...
Impaired metabolic flexibility in the osteoarthritis process: a study on transmitochondrial cybrids
(MDPI, 2020-03-27)
[Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most frequent joint disease; however, the etiopathogenesis is still unclear. Chondrocytes rely primarily on glycolysis to meet cellular energy demand, but studies implicate impaired ...
Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain Dysfunction Modulates Metalloproteases -1, -3 and -13 in Human Normal Chondrocytes in Culture
(BioMed Central, 2013-08-09)
[Abstract] Background. Mitochondrion has an important role in the osteoarthritis (OA) pathology. We have previously demonstrated that the alteration of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) contributes to the inflammatory ...
