Is It Time for Epigenetics in Osteoarthritis?
(Wiley, 2014-05-16)
[Abstract] DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism of reversible gene regulation which typically results in gene silencing upon hypermethylation in high CpG density regions of promoters (termed CpG islands), and increased ...
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; ...
The mitochondrial inhibitor oligomycin induces an inflammatory response in the rat knee joint
(BioMed Central, 2017-06-12)
[Abstract]
Background. Recent findings support a connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and activation of inflammatory pathways in articular cells. This study investigates in vivo in an acute model whether ...
Hydrogen sulfide biosynthesis is impaired in the osteoarthritic joint
(Springer, 2019-11-16)
[Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and it is a leading cause of disability in the elderly. Its complete etiology is not known although there are several metabolic, genetic, epigenetic, and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
