Heparan sulfate proteoglycan synthesis is dysregulated in human osteoarthritic cartilage

Abstract:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease, characterized by cartilage loss and subchondral bone remodelling in response to abnormal mechanical load. Heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans bind to many proteins that regulate cartilage homeostasis, including growth factors, morphogens, proteases, and their inhibitors, and modulate their localization, retention, and biological activity. Changes in HS expression and structure may thus have important consequences for joint health. We ...
