Transcriptomics of Wild‐Type Mice and Mice Lacking ADAMTS‐5 Activity Identifies Genes Involved in Osteoarthritis Initiation and Cartilage Destruction
22 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify changes in gene expression in mice with osteoarthritis (OA) in order to explore the mechanisms of the disease. METHODS: Gene expression profiling was performed in cartilage from mice with surgically induced OA. We used wild-type (WT) mice and Adamts5Δcat mice, in which ADAMTS-5 activity is lacking and aggrecan loss and cartilage erosion are inhibited, to distinguish gene expression changes...
