چکیده

background: recent studies have provided evidence that integrins play roles in recognition of mechanical stimuli and its translation into a cellular response. integrin signaling may be regulated by a number of mechanisms including accessory proteins such as cd98 (4f2 antigen). objectives: to determine cd98 expression by human articular chondrocytes and its involvement in human articular mechanotransduction. methods: cd98 expression was assessed by immunostaining of cryostat sections of snap frozen articular cartilage and in cultured cells by western blotting. chondrocytes enzymatically isolated from macroscopically normal and osteoarthritic (oa) articular cartilage were grown in short term, primary monolayer culture and used in a resting state or following mechanical stimulation at 0.33hz. results: human articular chondrocytes express cd98 and immunoreactivity revealed a similar heterogeneous pattern of cd98 in both normal and osteoarthritic (oa) human articular cartilage. no role of cd98 was detected by electrophysiological study. conclusion: it appears that cd98 is expressed in a similar pattern in both normal and osteoarthritic (oa) cartilage. although we detected no role for cd98 in chondrocyte mechanotransduction, it may be involved in other biological functions in chondrocyte intracellular signalling events.

Differential Immunohistochemical Expression Pattern of Galectin-3 in Normal and Osteoarthritic Human Articular Cartilage

Background: Previous studies have shown that Galectin-3, a member of lectin family, is expressed in developing cartilage in mouse embryo and also in growth plate of long bones.   Objective: In the present work, the expression pattern of Galectin-3 in normal and various grades of osteoarthritic (OA) human articular cartilage has been studied.   Methods: Using immunohistochemistry and standard we...

E2F1 and TFDP1 Regulate PITX1 Expression in Normal and Osteoarthritic Articular Chondrocytes

We previously reported a loss-of-PITX1 expression in patients suffering of knee/hip osteoarthritis (OA). Search for the mechanism underlying this event led us to discover that PITX1 repression was triggered by the aberrant nuclear accumulation of Prohibitin (PHB1), an E2F1 co-repressor, in OA articular chondrocytes. In the current study, we assessed in details the involvement of E2F transcripti...

Transcriptome-Wide Analysis of Messenger RNA Decay in Normal and Osteoarthritic Human Articular Chondrocytes

OBJECTIVE Messenger RNA (mRNA) decay rates control not only gene expression levels, but also responsiveness to altered transcriptional input. We undertook this study to examine transcriptome-wide posttranscriptional regulation in both normal and osteoarthritic (OA) human articular chondrocytes. METHODS Human articular chondrocytes were isolated from normal or OA tissue. Equine articular chond...
