Proline metabolism in vivo was studied during the development of immobilization osteoarthritis in rabbits. Collagen content was measured as the hydroxyproline concentration of the tissue in question. The incorporation of [3H]proline was used as the indicator for total protein synthesis; collagen
In an effort to clarify factors related to the pathogenesis of experimental osteoarthritis, biochemical alterations were studied in articular soft tissues of adult rabbits through the immobilization of the knee of the hind leg in extension for 3, 7, 11, 18, 35 or 56 days. The medial collateral
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine muscle and tendon protein fractional synthesis rates (FSR) at rest and after a one-legged kicking exercise in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) receiving either placebo or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
METHODS
Twenty patients
Oxaceprol, a derivative of l-proline, is an established drug for managing osteoarthritis (OA) with better safety profile than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This systematic review and meta-analysis, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses
The degradation of type II collagen has been associated with the pathology of osteoarthritis (OA). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes that are responsible for catalyzing the degradation of collagen and, therefore, are pursued as potential targets for the treatment of OA. Collagen-derived
Collagen metabolism in the focal degenerated cartilage from immature dogs with degenerative joint disease was compared with that in the adjacent 'normal' cartilage of the same joint surface. The deposition of collagen into the cartilage in vitro as measured by accumulation of hydroxy[14C]proline was
Collagen metabolism was studied in degenerative articular cartilage of dogs with spontaneous, early onset osteoarthritis. A fraction of collagen which represented about 1.5% of the total was extracted from cartilage samples with dilute phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.2% sodium dodecyl
Measurements of uptake in vivo of 3H-proline into 3H-hydroxyproline demonstrate that cartilage surfaces in rabbit knees with surgically induced osteoarthrosis (up to 3 months after operation) incorporated 2 to 5 times more activity into collagen than cartilage of control knees. The high uptake
Osteoarthrosis was induced in one knee joint of dogs by an established surgical procedure. Changes in the articular cartilage in the biosynthesis of collagen and other proteins were sought by radiochemical labelling in vivo, with the following findings. (1) Collagen synthesis was stimulated in all
The collagen in the degenerated articular cartilage from dysplastic canine hip joints was characterized as to type by examining cartilage directly and also after labeling cartilage slices with 14C-proline in vitro. Collagen analysis was by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative synovial joint disease affecting people worldwide. However, the exact pathogenesis of OA remains unclear. Metabolomics analysis was performed to obtain insight into possible pathogenic mechanisms and diagnostic biomarkers of OA. Ultra-high performance liquid
In osteoarthritis (OA), cartilage and bone fragments have been described within the synovial tissue which are surrounded by synovial cells (i.e. detritus synovitis). These cells appear to attach actively to the cartilage and bone fragments. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), on the other hand, synovial
Biomarkers play an increasingly important role for drug efficacy and safety evaluation in all stages of drug development. It is especially important to develop and validate sensitive and selective biomarkers for diseases where the onset of the disease is very slow and/or the disease progression is
Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are frequently identified by MRI in the subchondral bone in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). BMLs are known to be closely associated with joint pain, loss of the cartilage and structural changes in the subchondral trabecular bone (SCTB). Despite this, understanding The zone of calcified cartilage (ZCC) which provides the critical interface between cartilage and bone acts as the growth plate in the developing joint. In osteoarthritis, it has been hypothesized that the ZCC may again function in joint remodeling. This could result in thinning of the cartilage.
