In vitro comprehensive analysis of VA692 a new chemical entity for the treatment of osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2018-08-25)
[Abstract] Selective cyclooxigenase (COX)-2 inhibitors were developed to prevent traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (tNSAIDs) gastro-intestinal adverse effects. VA692, a recently disclosed selective COX-2 ...
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 ...
Nitric Oxide Compounds Have Different Effects Profiles on Human Articular Chondrocyte Metabolism
(BioMed Central, 2013-09-11)
[Abstract] Introduction. The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the production of high amounts of nitric oxide (NO), as a consequence of up-regulation of chondrocyte-inducible nitric oxide synthase ...
A Meta-Analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies Identifies Novel Variants Associated with Osteoarthritis of the Hip
(BMJ, 2013-08-29)
[Abstract] OBJECTIVES:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis with a clear genetic component. To identify novel loci associated with hip OA we performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies ...
Cryopreservation effect on proliferative and chondrogenic potential of human chondrocytes isolated from superficial and deep cartilage
(Bentham Open, 2012-04-06)
[Abstract]
Objectives: To compare the proliferative and chondrogenic potential of fresh and frozen chondrocytes isolated from superficial and deep articular cartilage biopsies.
Materials and Methodology: The study ...
Mitochondrial haplogroups define two phenotypes of osteoarthritis
(Frontiers, 2012-05-11)
[Abstract] Objective: To assess a mitochondrion-related phenotype in patients with osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: Serum levels of the following OA-related biomarkers: matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1); MMP-3; MMP-13; ...
Long-term effects of hydrogen sulfide on the anabolic-catabolic balance of articular cartilage in vitro
(Elsevier, 2017-08-15)
[Abstract] Healthy cartilage maintenance relies on an equilibrium among the anabolic and catabolic processes in chondrocytes. With the onset of osteoarthritis (OA), increased interleukin (IL)-1β levels induce an inhibition ...
The nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor/heme oxygenase-1 axis is critical for the inflammatory features of type 2 diabetes–associated osteoarthritis
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2017-07-06)
[Asbtract] Epidemiological findings support the hypothesis that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA). Moreover, OA cartilage from patients with T2DM exhibits a greater response to ...
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 ...
