Potential involvement of SIRT1 in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis through the modulation of chondrocyte gene expressions
26 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
SIRT1 has been implicated as a key factor in aging-related diseases. Nevertheless, the role of SIRT1 in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is still unknown. We examined the expression of SIRT1 in cartilage samples and the effect of SIRT1 inhibition on chondrocyte gene expression changes to elucidate the role of SIRT1 in chondrocytes. SIRT1 expression was examined using cartilage samples from patients...
