Prematurely aging mitochondrial DNA mutator mice display subchondral osteopenia and chondrocyte hypertrophy without further osteoarthritis features
28 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Mitochondrial mutations and dysfunction have been demonstrated in several age-related disorders including osteoarthritis, yet its relative contribution to pathogenesis remains unknown. Here we evaluated whether premature aging caused by accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations in PolgD275A mice predisposes to the development of knee osteoarthritis. Compared with wild type animals, homozygous PolgD275A...
