Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP): A Biomarker of Arthritis
Arthritis is a chronic disease with a significant impact on the population. It damages the cartilage, synovium, and bone of the joints causing pain, impairment, and disability in patients. Current methods for diagnosis of and monitoring the disease are only able to detect clinical manifestations of arthritis late in the process. However, with the recent onset of successful treatments for rheuma...
متن کاملSerum levels of Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP) increase temporarily after physical exercise in patients with knee osteoarthritis
BACKGROUND COMP (Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein) is a matrix protein, which is currently studied as a potential serum marker for cartilage processes in osteoarthritis (OA). The influence of physical exercise on serum COMP is not fully elucidated. The objective of the present study was to monitor serum levels of COMP during a randomised controlled trial of physical exercise vs. standardised...
متن کاملCartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP) and Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Diagnostic Biomarkers of Knee Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA), leads to considerable morbidity and disability in elderly [1]. The condition is diagnosed basically on clinical presentation and radiographic findings. By the time changes are visible on radiographs the disease is fairly advanced. Radiographic changes are apparent only after a year or two, but changes in biomarker levels are apparent within a few months [2]. Biomarkers are ...
متن کاملSerum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) decreases in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with infliximab or etanercept
Changes in serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) were studied during a 6-month period from initiation of treatment of rheumatoid arthritis patients with either infliximab or etanercept, to elucidate whether the favourable results of tissue protection reported in clinical trials are corroborated by changing levels of circulating COMP. Rheumatoid arthritis patients commencing treatment...
متن کاملAnalysis of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in synovial fibroblasts and synovial fluids.
We investigated the expression of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in normal and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial fibroblasts. In situ hybridization (ISH) was conducted on synovial specimens from five RA patients applying specific probes for COMP or fibroblast collagen type I. ISH was combined with immunohistochemistry, applying antibodies to the macrophage marker CD68. Ribonuclease...
