Mitochondrial DNA haplogroups associated with MRI-detected structural damage in early knee osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2018-07-20)
[Abstract] Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-detected structural features are associated with increased risk of radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA). Specific mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups have been associated ...
Oleate prevents palmitate-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in chondrocytes
(Frontiers, 2021-06-15)
[Abstract] The association between obesity and osteoarthritis (OA) in joints not subjected to mechanical overload, together with the relationship between OA and metabolic syndrome, suggests that there are systemic factors ...
Mitochondrial haplogroups H and J: risk and protective factors for ischemic cardiomyopathy
(PLoS, 2012-08-28)
[Abstract] Background. Since mitochondria are the principal source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), these organelles may play an important role in ischemic cardiomyopathy (IC) development. The mitochondrial genome may ...
Mitochondrial DNA Impact on Joint Damaged Process in a Conplastic Mouse Model After Being Surgically Induced With Osteoarthritis
(Nature, 2021-04-27)
[Abstract] It has been suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction and mtDNA variations may contribute to osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. However, the causative link to support this claim is lacking. Here, we surgically-induced ...
Plasma mitochondrial DNA levels are inversely associated with HIV-RNA levels and directly with CD4 counts: potential role as a biomarker of HIV replication
(Oxford, 2017-08-31)
[Abstract] Objectives. To evaluate plasma mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) levels among HIV-infected patients and its potential role as a biomarker of residual viral replication.
Methods. HIV-infected patients on follow-up at a ...
Design of a digital-PCR assay to quantify fragmented human mitochondrial DNA
(Wiley, 2021-06-11)
[Abstract] Digital PCR (dPCR) has been adapted to quantify the proportion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecules without and with double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs). This is based on a break-apart approach of two differentially ...
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups and serum levels of anti-oxidant enzymes in patients with osteoarthritis
(BioMed Central, 2011-11-22)
[Abstract] Background: Oxidative stress play a main role in the initiation and progression of the OA disease and leads to the degeneration of mitochondria. To prevent this, the chondrocytes possess a well-coordinated ...
PROCOAC (PROspective COhort of A Coruña) description: Spanish prospective cohort to study osteoarthritis
(Elsevier, 2021-05-03)
[Abstract] Introduction and objective: The use of well characterized osteoarthritis (OA) cohorts is mandatory for the study and knowledge of this disease. Currently, there is no prospective cohort in this pathology in ...
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) ...
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 ...
