Pathogenesis of Osteoarthritis Flashcards
what is in the image
synovial joint
bone
fibrous joint capsule
hyaline articular cartilage
synovial membrane (synovium)
synovial fluid
healthy synovium
thin lining facing joint space, 1 to 2 cells thick
contains macrophage like cells called synoviocytes type 1/a and fibroblast like cells synoviocytes type2/b
synovial subliming is loose connective tissue with numerous blood and lymphatic vessels, nerves, scattered macrophages and fibroblasts
macrophage like cells
synoviocytes type 1 or type a
fibroblast like cells
synoviocytes type 2 or b

cell and tissue changes as a flow chart
matrix metalloproteinases
can degrade/ clear aggrecan
in early OA what occurs in the chondrocytes
proliferate
become more active
form clusters
produce proteinases
in early OA what occurs in the extracellular matrix
gradual loss of aggrecan
type 2 collagen degradation
cracks in cartilage
termed fibrillation
what is in the image
early OA
cartilage changes
decreased swelling pressure of proteoglycans
altered collagen synthesis
decreased responsiveness of chondrocytes
loss of shock absorbing properties
what is in the image
degradation of cartilage
what do DAMPs include
endogenous intracellular molecules
released by activated or necrotic cells and ECM
inflammation in OA
synovitis
how is synovitis detected
imaging
arthroscopy
histology
inflammation in OA
chronic
low grade
involves innate immune response
key components implicated in OA
DAMP-TLR signalling
complement system
CPB
macrophages
mast cells
cytokines in mediators of inflammation in OA
TNF alpha
Il-1 beta
Il-6
Il-18
Il-21
chemokine in inflammation mediation
growth factors
adipokines
prostaglandins and leukotrienes
neuropeptides
