Abstract:Inflammatory cytokines released by the synovium after trauma disturb the gene regulatory network and have been implicated in the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis. A mechanistic understanding of how aging perturbs this process can help identify novel interventions. Here, we introduced network paradigms to simulate cytokine-mediated pathological communication between the synovium and cartilage. Cartilage functional network analysis of injured young and aged murine knees revealed aberrant matrix remodeling as a … Show more
