Correlation between MMP-13 and HDAC7 expression in human knee osteoarthritis
25 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggest that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors may therapeutically prevent cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis (OA). Matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease and in the present study we investigated the correlation between HDACs and MMP-13. Comparing the expression of different HDACs in cartilage from OA patients and healthy donors,...
