Open AccessDisrupting the Indian hedgehog signaling pathway in vivo attenuates surgically induced osteoarthritis progression in Col2a1-CreER T2 ; Ihhfl/fl mice
Previous observations implicate Indian hedgehog (Ihh) signaling in osteoarthritis (OA) development because it regulates chondrocyte hypertrophy and matrix metallopeptidase 13 (MMP-13) expression. However, ther...

Open AccessAttenuation of osteoarthritis via blockade of the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway
This study was performed to evaluate the attenuation of osteoarthritic (OA) pathogenesis via disruption of the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) signaling with AMD31...

Apoptosis and rheumatoid arthritis: Past, present, and future directions
The current studies of apoptosis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suggest that molecules (Fas-related or TNF-related), pathways (activation of pro-apoptosis or anti-apoptosis pathway), cell types (lymphocytes or s...

Gene therapy for management of lupus: Correction of Fas and Fas ligand-induced apoptosis in murine disease — therapeutic rationale and strategies
Identification of mutations of fas and fas ligand (fasL) in murine models of autoimmune disease have provided an important experimental tools for the analysis of tolerance and autoimmune disease. Mutations of fas...

Apoptosis
Apoptosis is a physiologic process that mediates the death of selected cells. In contrast to necrosis, which results from a strong nonspecific or toxic cell injury, apoptosis is initiated by ligand—receptor in...
