Effects of Enzymatic Degradation after Loading in Temporomandibular Joint

Abstract: Synovial fluid of the joint decreases friction between the cartilage surfaces and reduces cartilage wear during articulation. Characteristic changes of synovial fluid have been shown in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). OA is generally considered to be induced by excessive mechanical stress. However, whether the changes in synovial fluid precede the mechanical overloading or vice versa remains unclear. In the present study, our purpose was to examine if the breakdown of jo… Show more

“…We previously investigated the mechanism involved in OA and reported that the protein lubricant superficial zone protein (SZP) localizes on the temporomandibular joint surface [12]. We also demonstrated that excessive mechanical loading lowers SZP production [13]; increases the friction coefficient; increases MMP-1, 3, and 9 production; and destroys substrates such as type II collagens, aggrecan, and hyaluronic acid [14,15].…”

“…Further evidence is provided from another study which demonstrated that under mechanical loading conditions, there is a release of pro-inflammatory and matrix degradation mediators which are associated with altered frictional properties and surface wear of condylar cartilage (5). …”

“…Indeed, compromised lubrication in the TMJ is associated with altered frictional properties and surface wear of the condylar cartilage, which is accompanied by the release of pro-inflammatory and matrix degradation mediators under mechanical loading conditions (5). Several molecules that are present in the SF contribute to joint lubrication, particularly boundary lubrication; one such molecule is lubricin (4,6).…”

“…Lubricin has been associated with pathological conditions in the joint tissue, highlighted by the fact that the mutations of the Prg4 gene is associated with the camptodactyly-arthropathycoxa vara-pericarditis syndrome (CACP) 4 , a rare arthritis like autosomal recessive disorder causing joint abnormalities. The lubrication properties of lubricin also suggest that the protein is associated with arthritic diseases, since it has been proposed that defect lubrication should aggravate joint degradation 5 . Osteoarthritis (OA) is the dominating arthritic disease with high prevalence in elderly people and involves cartilage degradation in the articular joints, leading to pain and restricted motion 6 .…”
