Final Flashcards
(123 cards)
Collagen in hyaline cart
Type II collagen
What makes hyaline cart
ECM and chondrocytes
What makes ECM
70% water, type II collagen, proteoglycans
What is aggrecan
Major ECM proteoglycan made of chondroitin and karatan sulfate
Fxn type II coll
Counteract tensile forces
What is a proteoglycan
100 GAGs on a protein core, arranged on a hyaluronan mol
GAG fxn
Negative charge attracts water to counteract compressive forces
Functional layer of synovial memb
Intimal- cells that perform fxn
Type A synoviocyte
In intimal layer, phagocytic
Type B synoviocyte
In intimal layer, secretes proteins, filters plasma to make fluids, releases cytokines
Predom cell in normal synovial fluid
Mononuclear
Viscosity of syn fluid from
Hyaluronan molecules (large)
MMPs
degrade ECM, released by chondrocytes and synovio’s in inactive form
Name MMPs
collagenase (mmp-13), gelatinase, stromelysin
Stromelysin
MMP that degrades proteoglycan part of ECM
MMP inhibitor
TIMP and tetracycline
IL-1 and TNFa fxn
Inflam cytokines- inc catab (up-reg MMPs, PGs, free radicals and each other)
IL-1 fxn
Inhibit TIMP and IL-1Ra (its own inhibitor)
IL-1Ra
IL-1 Receptor antagonist
First biomechanical damage in injury
loss of proteoglycan leading to collagen degradation, hard to regen
Intrinsic cartilage healing
Poor- from chondrocyte synthetic activity
Extrinsic healing-
From bone marrow sources, makes fibrocartilage NOT type II
Matrix flow
Healing by spread/thin/melt of cartilage
OC is what type of dz
Developmental orthopedic disorder (DOD)
