Catabolism of Fibromodulin in Developmental Rudiment and Pathologic Articular Cartilage Demonstrate Novel Roles for MMP-13 and ADAMTS-4 in C-Terminal Processing of SLRPs
2018-12-24
Abstract excerpt
Cartilage regeneration requires a balance of anabolic and catabolic processes. This study examined the susceptibility of fibromodulin (FMOD) and lumican (LUM) to degradation by MMP-13, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5, the three major degradative proteinases in articular cartilage in osteoarthritis (OA). Immunolocalisation of FMOD and LUM in foot sections of developmental cartilages demonstrated prominent localisations in me...
