Identification of Novel Molecules with Senolytic and Autophagy Activity As Osteoarthritis Therapeutics
Background/Purpose: Disease-modifying treatments for Osteoarthritis (OA) are not available. Aging-related features such as failure of homeostasis mechanisms, including autophagy, cause extracellular matrix damage, chondrocyte senescence…Abstract Number: 905 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Regenerating Cartilage and Reversing Osteoarthritis (OA) Stimulation of Adenosine A2A Receptors (A2AR) Increases Cartilage Volume and Matrix in Vitro and In Vivo
Background/Purpose: We have recently reported that endogenously produced adenosine, interacting with A2AR, is a critical autocrine factor for maintenance of chondrocyte and cartilage homeostasis and…Abstract Number: 1931 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Targeting Cartilage Aging As Osteoarthritis Therapeutics By Drug Repurposing
Background/Purpose: Background: Effective treatments for Osteoarthritis (OA) are not available. In aging-related diseases, including OA, failure of cellular homeostasis mechanisms, such as autophagy can cause…Abstract Number: 2129 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Extracellular Adenosine Deficiency Plays a Role in the Pathogenesis of Osteoarthritis (OA) and Adenosine Replacement Prevents Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Extracellular adenosine is highly regulated and plays an important homeostatic role via occupancy of cell surface receptors (A1R, A2AR, A2BR, A3R). Mice lacking A2AR…
