Interleukin-1β, Oxidative Stress and Basic Calcium Phosphate Crystals Induce Osteoarthritis-like Changes in Chondrocyte Phenotype By Altering the Expression of PERIOD2, a Core Component of the Chondrocyte Circadian Clock
Background/Purpose: Almost all cells contain a circadian clock. Cell clocks are key regulators of cell activity and cell differentiation. In osteoarthritis (OA), chondrocytes inappropriately undergo…Abstract Number: 2001 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adenosine A2A Receptor Stimulation Regulates Autophagy in Chondrocytes
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating condition characterized by chondrocyte dysfunction and loss of cartilage. Autophagy, a homeostatic process that occurs in times of cellular…Abstract Number: 1817 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
MicroRNA-128 Impairs Cartilage Integrity and Deteriorates Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis through Deregulating Chondrocyte Autophagy
Background/Purpose: Autophagy gets rids of unwanted proteins or organelle keeping cells to stay functional upon encountering adverse stresses. While non-coding microRNAs interfere with mRNA targets…Abstract Number: 1999 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Aberrant Expression of the GluN2B N-Methyl D-Aspartate Receptor Subunit in Osteoarthritic Chondrocytes Causes Disease-Associated Changes in Chondrocyte Phenotype through Altered Expression of Core Components of the Chondrocyte Circadian Clock
Background/Purpose: Circadian clocks are key regulators of cell behaviour. Disruption to cell clocks is implicated in a range of diseases. Expression of two core clock…Abstract Number: 904 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Deficient Autophagy Induces Lamin a/C Accumulation in Aging and Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Autophagy, an essential chondrocyte homeostasis mechanism, is defective in Aging and Osteoarthritis (OA). However, the targets regulating this mechanism are still unknown. Here, we…Abstract Number: 2124 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Maintenance of Chondrocyte Phenotypic Stability By TRPC6 Calcium Channel Activity
Background/Purpose: The ELR+ CXC chemokine CXCL6 is produced by healthy articular chondrocytes and retained within the cartilage matrix via interactions with heparan sulphate proteoglycans. There,…Abstract Number: 2127 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Dicam Promotes Proliferation and Hypertrophic Differentiation of Chondrocyte through Indian Hedgehog Signaling of Primary Cilia
Background/Purpose: Chondrocytes in growth plate is known to respond to hydrostatic loading by increasing Indian hedgehog (Ihh) signaling, and that the primary cilium is required…Abstract Number: 2141 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Terminal Uridylyl Transferase ZCCHC6-Dependent Generation of miRNA Diversity in Primary Human Chondrocytes
Terminal Uridylyl Transferase ZCCHC6-dependent Generation Of miRNA Diversity In Primary Human Chondrocytes Background/Purpose: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small, noncoding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate…Abstract Number: 1148 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Role of TRPC6 in CXCR2-Mediated Chondrocyte Phenotypic Stability
Background/Purpose: We have recently demonstrated that ELR+ CXC chemokines signaling via the CXCR2 receptor, are produced by healthy chondrocytes and are retained within the cartilage…Abstract Number: 1015 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mir-9/MCPIP1 Axis Mediated Regulation of IL-6 Expression in Osteoarthritis Chondrocytes
Background/Purpose Post-transcriptional regulation of cytokine expression is important for maintaining tissue integrity. MCPIP1 was identified as a novel protein, which destabilizes inflammatory cytokines mRNAs via…Abstract Number: 69 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Interconnected Cellular Projections and Gap Junctions Mediate Metabolic Coupling Between Chondrocytes Located In Different Layers Of The Tissue: Cell-To-Cell Communication In Normal and Osteoarthritic Cartilage
Background/Purpose: We have recently found that articular chondrocytes from human adults contain long cytoplasmic arms that cross the extracellular matrix and physically connect two chondrocytes…Abstract Number: 64 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Fibulin-3 In Joint Aging and Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease. Among the earliest lesions during OA development is disruption of the superficial zone (SZ) of articular…Abstract Number: 59 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Downregulated Forkhead-Box Class O Transcription Factors Attenuate Oxidative Stress Resistance In Human Chondrocytes
Background/Purpose: Aging-associated changes in articular chondrocytes represent a major risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA). The major signaling pathway that regulates cellular aging is the Insulin/IGF-1/Pl3k/Akt/forkhead-box…Abstract Number: 42 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Role of Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1 Alpha Through Smad and MAPK Pathway On Endochondral Ossification
Background/Purpose: The main cellular events of articular chondrocytes during osteoarthritis are a loss of the traits as permanent cartilage, and a transition to hypertrophic chondrocytes…
