Cartilage morphogenetic proteins: role in joint development, homoeostasis, and regeneration.
BACKGROUND Articular cartilage homoeostasis is critical for joint function. The steady state homoeostasis of articular cartilage is a balance between anabolic morphogens such as cartilage derived morphogenetic proteins (CDMPs) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) of the BMP family and catabolic cytokines such as interleukin (IL)1, IL17, and tumour necrosis factor alpha. Although bone and arti...
متن کاملDoes joint cartilage require energy?
Does joint cartilage require energy? SIR, Geborek et al showed that induced increase of synovial fluid pressure decreases synovial blood flow,' which, as expected,2 decreases synovial fluid oxygen tension.3 In five minutes synovial fluid pressure raised by flexion decreased synovial fluid oxygen tension in 3/10 cases of knee trauma; these three synovial fluids contained few red cells, potential...
متن کاملImmature joint cartilage and the homograft reaction.
It is apparent from studies of the homograft reaction that cartilage is exceptional in that when it is transferred to another animal of the same species it does not provoke the same vascular and cellular responses that occur with most other tissues. In consequence, such cartilage transfers may survive for a long time in a viable state: instances of human grafts which remained healthy for as lon...
متن کاملTAK1 Regulates Cartilage and Joint Development via the MAPK and BMP Signaling Pathways
The importance of canonical transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling during cartilage and joint development is well established, but the necessity for noncanonical (SMAD-independent) signaling during these processes is largely unknown. TGF-beta activated kinase 1 (TAK1) is a MAP3K activated by TGF-beta, BMP, and other mitogen-activated protein ki...
متن کاملCartilage stresses in the human hip joint.
The total surface stress measured in vitro on acetabular cartilage when step-loaded by an instrumented hemiprosthesis are partitioned into fluid and cartilage network stresses using a finite element model of the cartilage layer and measurements of the layer consolidation. The finite element model is based on in situ measurements of cartilage geometry and constitutive properties. Unique instrume...
