GPX1 Pro198Leu is a potential genetic risk factor in the development of KBD and the GPX1 Leu allele is significantly associated with higher KBD risk among the Chinese Han population and with lower GPX enzyme activity. The expression of apoptosis related molecules in KBD patients significantly differs from controls.
Our results suggest that RA10-6 can inhibit synovial inflammation by blocking IL-17/IL-17RA-mediated IL-6 expression. RA10-6 acted synergistically with celecoxib to inhibit IL-6 expression in synovial tissues. Thus, aptamers targeting IL-17RA might serve as potent adjunctive agents for the early treatment of OA.
The SEPS1 -105G>A is associated with an increased risk of KBD and influences the expression of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in KBD patients. Apoptosis induced by tBHP in chondrocyte might be mediated via up-regulation of PI3K/Akt, Na2SeO3 has an effect of anti-apoptosis by down-regulating of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
