Two putative osteoclast biomarkers were measured in sera: TRAcP5b and cathepsin K. 30Medial tibia plateaux were donated at knee arthroplasty for symptomatic OA (n=84) or from Results 35Serum TRAcP5b activity, but not cathepsin K-immunoreactivity, was associated with density 36 of TRAcP-positive osteoclasts in the subchondral bone of medial tibia plateaux. TRAcP-37 positive osteoclasts were more abundant in people with symptomatic OA compared to 38 controls. Serum TRAcP5b activity was associated with baseline pain and pain change.
