Test 2: lecture 18 osteoarthritis Flashcards
Progressive articular cartilage degradation without adequate repair
osteoarthritis
OA that develops after known trauma
Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis (PTOA)
OA will do what to the joint
synovitis
mediscal degeneration and tear
osteophyotosis
loss of collagen
sub-condral bone sclerosis
Synovial fluid is ultrafiltrate of plasma providing— and —
nutrients & lubrication
subchondral bone is — bone deep to cartilage and will—
cortical
absorb force acting on the joint
what type of cartilage in the joints
hyaline/articular cartilage
articular cartilage is made by — cell types
chondrocytes
why can’t articular cartilage heal well?
avascular and aneural
limited intrinsic repair
ECM of articular cartilage is made of
95%: type 2 collagen
proteoglycans (aggrecan)
glycoproteins
hyaluronan
ECM of articular cartilage is maintained by
cartilage trauma causes increase in —
inflammation
ECM degradation
apoptosis
posttraumatic inflammation (IL-1β, TNF⍺, MMPs)
what are the main catabolic cytokine
IL-1β, TNFα, IL-17
what are the main degradtative enzymes
MMPs, ADAMTS
joint injury causes stress activation of — and —
chondrocytes
synoviocytes
MMPs will —
breakdown collagen fibers
(collagenases)
type of degradative enzyme
