Hyperlipidemic microenvironment conditionates damage mechanisms in human chondrocytes by oxidative stress
(BMC, 2017-06-12)
[Abstract] Background, Currently, two pathogenic pathways describe the role of obesity in osteoarthritis (OA); one through biomechanical stress, and the other by the contribution of systemic inflammation. The aim of this ...
A pharmacoproteomic study confirms the synergistic effect of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine
(Nature, 2014-06-10)
[Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common age-related rheumatic disease. Chondrocytes play a primary role in mediating cartilage destruction and extracellular matrix (ECM) breakdown, which are main features of the ...
Human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells as favorable source for cartilage repair
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2017-01-10)
[Abstract]
Introduction: Localized trauma-derived breakdown of the hyaline articular cartilage may progress toward osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition characterized by total loss of articular cartilage and joint ...
Multilineage differentiation potential of cells isolated from the human amniotic membrane
(Wiley, 2010-11-01)
[Abstract] The human amniotic membrane (HAM) contains two cell types from different embryological origins. Human amnion epithelial cells (hAECs) are derived from the embryonic ectoderm, while human amnion mesenchymal stromal ...
Potential use of the human amniotic membrane as a scaffold in human articular cartilage repair
(Springer, 2010-04-13)
[Abstract] The human amniotic membrane (HAM) is an abundant and readily obtained tissue that may be an important source of scaffold for transplanted chondrocytes in cartilage regeneration in vivo. To evaluate the potential ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Amentadione from the alga cystoseira usneoides as a novel osteoarthritis protective agent in an ex vivo co-culture OA model
(MDPI, 2020-12-07)
[Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) remains a prevalent chronic disease without effective prevention and treatment. Amentadione (YP), a meroditerpenoid purified from the alga Cystoseira usneoides, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory ...
Integrative metabolic pathway analysis reveals novel therapeutic targets in osteoarthritis
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB), 2020-01-24)
[Abstract] In osteoarthritis (OA), impairment of cartilage regeneration can be related to a defective chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Therefore, understanding the proteomic- and ...
