Abstract

Characterization of transgenic murine osteoarthritis (OA) models and analysis of anterior cruciate ligament and meniscectomy models in various species, including rodents, has provided insight into pathogenic mechanisms and impact of loading. Development of a transgenic murine OA model by postnatal expression in hyaline cartilage of constitutively expressed human matrix metalloproteinase-13 emphasizes the potential role of this enzyme. On the other hand, collagenase involvement in OA models seems a confined focal process, complicating therapeutic approaches. The potential role of interleukin-1 still needs further confirmation. Apart from destructive cytokines, disturbed growth factor responses seems obvious. Transforming growth factor-beta is a crucial mediator in osteophyte formation, but its role in cartilage destruction has not yet been clarified. Nitric oxide appears involved in chondrocyte apoptosis and blocking of nitric oxide provides protection against joint pathology in OA models. Treatment with a range of disease-modifying drugs showed some efficacy in a number of OA models, but its predictive value for human OA remains obscure.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
