Gene expression changes in damaged osteoarthritic cartilage identify a signature of non-chondrogenic and mechanical responses
10 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Joint degeneration in osteoarthritis (OA) is characterised by damage and loss of articular cartilage. The pattern of loss is consistent with damage occurring only where the mechanical loading is high. We have investigated using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and systems analyses the changes that occur in damaged OA cartilage by comparing it with intact cartilage from the same joint. METHODS: Cartilage was...
