A Conplastic Mice Model of Aging Reveals That Mitochondrial DNA Variation Influences the Process of Joint Deterioration
Background/Purpose: Different studies showed interesting genetic associations between mtDNA haplogroups and OA-related features, including prevalence, incidence and progression of the disease. The aim of this…Abstract Number: 1037 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Develop an in Vitro Model to Test the Different Behavior of mtDNA in OA and Healthy Patients, Based on Mitochondrial Activity and Metabolic Response
Background/Purpose: Mitochondrial dysfunction is well documented in OA and has the capacity to alter chondrocyte function and viability, contributing to cartilage degeneration. Several studies have…Abstract Number: 1996 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adenosine A2A Receptor (A2AR) Stimulation Enhances Mitochondrial Metabolism and Mitigates Reactive Oxygen Species-Mediated Mitochondrial Injury
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting nearly 10% of the US population. With age and injury, chondrocytes have diminished mitochondrial…Abstract Number: 64 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Effect of Adenosine A2A Receptor Stimulation on Mitochondrial Metabolism in the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting nearly 10% of the US population. There is no therapy to prevent the progression…Abstract Number: 1011 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mitochondrial Haplogroups-Mediated Methylation Regulates Apoptosis in Osteoathritis Cartilage
Background/Purpose: Recent studies revealed that haplogroup J associates with a decreased rate of incident knee Osteoarthritis. Among the functional characteristics of this haplogroup, lower rates…Abstract Number: 2192 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association between Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Haplogroups and Bone Marrow Lesions at 24 Months in Osteoarthritis Subjects: Subjets from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) have been consistently associated with the development of osteoarthritis (OA); however the extent to which they are genetically driven by…Abstract Number: 1206 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Replication Study and Meta-Analysis Demonstrate the Influence of the mtDNA Haplogroups in the Rate of Incident Knee Osteoarthritis. Functional Explanation of This Association Using Transmitochondrial Cybrids
Background/Purpose: The study of the mitochondria in the context of osteoarthritis (OA) attracted much attention. In this study we aimed to evaluate the influence of…Abstract Number: 1122 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Transmitocondrial Cybrids: A Tool to Study the Role of mtDNA Haplogroups in OA Pathogenesis
Background/Purpose Mitochondria play an important role in the OA pathogenesis. mtDNA haplogroup J is significantly associated with a lower risk of OA in northwest Spanish…Abstract Number: 1008 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Autophagy Activation Protects from Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Human Chondrocytes
Background/Purpose Autophagy, is a key pathway of cellular homeostasis for removing damaged macromolecules and organelles, including mitochondria. Recent studies indicate that autophagy activation is defective…Abstract Number: 151 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The mtDNA Haplogroups Influence The Cartilage Integrity In Osteoarthritis. Data From The Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI)
Background/Purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is ideally suited for detect structural changes and degradation in cartilage against the limitations of radiographic common methods. Changes in…Abstract Number: 68 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Autophagy Activation Protects From Mitochondrial Dysfunction In Human Chondrocytes
Background/Purpose: A common feature of aging-related diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA), is the progressive accumulation of damaged macromolecules leading to cell dysfunction and death. Autophagy,…
