Brief Report: Induction of Matrix Metalloproteinase Expression by Synovial Wnt Signaling and Association With Disease Progression in Early Symptomatic Osteoarthritis
5 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Increased Wnt signaling in chondrocytes is associated with development of osteoarthritis (OA). However, OA is considered a disease of the entire joint, where the synovium has been attributed an important role in disease pathogenesis and progression. This study was undertaken to determine whether Wnt signaling in synovial tissue could contribute to pathologic development of OA through the production of...
