## Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the messenger rna (mrna) expression of the disintegrin metalloproteinase mdc15 (metargidin, or adam-15) in normal and osteoarthritic (oa) articular cartilage. ## Methods: In situ hybridization experiments and reverse transcription-polymerase c

Objective. In previous studies, we suggested that cathepsin B, which is present at sites of cartilage remodeling in osteoarthritis (OA), may act as an antagonist of cartilage repair, an enhancer of the action of metalloproteinases, and a mediator of cartilage neovascularization and mineralization. A
## Abstract The regulation of cell growth can be achieved at many levels but ultimately the regulatory factors must alter protein synthesis since growing cells always exhibit an increased rate of protein synthesis compared to resting cells. Some studies using growing and nongrowing mammalian cells
Objective. To determine whether patients with osteoarthritis (OA) express cellular immunity to cartilage link protein (LP) and the G1 globular domain of proteoglycan (PG) aggrecan, and whether immunity to the G1 domain is influenced by the removal of keratan sulfate (KS). Methods. LP and the G1 glo
To compare quantitatively the in vivo expression of collagenase messenger RNA (mRNA) and stromelysin mRNA in the joint tissues of human osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and in two animal models of acute inflammatory arthritis. Methods. In vivo levels of metalloproteinase m
The biochemical measure of success in assisted cartilage repair is normally judged by repair tissue cell density, mRNA and protein expression, and accumulation of extracellular matrix molecules. Existing methods to solubilize cartilage matrix proteoglycans and cellular DNA for quantification, such a
