Alteration of articular cartilage frictional properties by transforming growth factor [beta], interleukin-1[beta], and oncostatin M
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 02/04/09
Gleghorn JP et al. - Study provides new insight into the functional consequences of cytokine-mediated changes in friction coefficient. In combination with established pathways of cytokine-mediated lubricin metabolism, these data provide evidence of distinct biochemical origins of boundary and biphasic pressure-mediated lubrication mechanisms in cartilage, with boundary lubrication regulated by surface accumulation of lubricants and biphasic lubrication controlled by factors such as GAG content that affect water movement through the tissue.
