1. 1. Extracellular Matrix Remodelling-Proteoglycan and collagen turnover in arthritis

   Författare :Anette Bjärdahlen; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arthritis; collagen; cartilage; myofibroblasts; pannus; proteoglycan; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; reumatologi; Skelett; muskelsystem;

   Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory and systemic disease characterised by joint destruction and pannus formation. To enlarge the understanding how pannus and granulation tissue are formed two animal models were used; one using cartilage wrapped in cotton and implanted into a rat air pouch (AP) and one where mBSA induced arthritis (AIA) was performed.

3. 2. Chondrocyte-matrix interactions: with emphasis on the collagen binding integrin a10ß1

   Författare :Lisbet Camper; Lunds universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; muscle system; Skeleton; chondrocyte; integrin; cartilage; chondroadherin; collagen; Biochemistry; metabolism; Biokemi; reumatologi; muskelsystem; Skelett; rheumatology locomotion;

   Sammanfattning : The work in this thesis has been focused on chondrocyte integrins and their interaction with the matrix proteins chondroadherin (CHAD) and collagen type II (CII). Affinity purification of CHAD-binding proteins from chondrocyte lysate, followed by immunoprecipitation of EDTA-eluted material identified alpha2beta1 as a CHAD-binding integrin. LÄS MER

4. 3. The collagen fibrillar network: Sequential degradation of its constituents by tissue metalloproteinases

   Författare :Terrence Heathfield; Enheten för led- och mjukvävnadsforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; metabolism; Metabolism; Biochemistry; collagen; fibromodulin; cartilage; osteoarthritis; Biokemi;

   Sammanfattning : The cartilage matrix is made up of a fibrillar meshwork comprising type II collagen and other associated proteins. One main function of this network is to retain the large aggregating proteoglycan, aggrecan, a vital component in the regulation of fluid flux in cartilage. LÄS MER

5. 4. T cells in Autoimmunity: studies on murine type II collagen-induced arthritis

   Författare :Alexandre Corthay; Immunologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunologi; Autoimmunity T lymphocytes collagen-induced arthritis Glycosylation TCR; transplantation; serology; Immunology; serologi; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

   Sammanfattning : Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is a mouse model for rheumatoid arthritis, in which autoimmunity is induced by immunization with type II collagen (CII), a cartilage-specific protein. In the present work, alpha/beta T cells were shown to be required for CIA and for the production of anti-CII IgG antibodies, whereas gamma/delta T cells were neither necessary nor sufficient for development of CIA.

7. 5. Studies on chondroadherin-an extracellular matrix leucine-rich repeat protein

   Författare :Christina Wenglén; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk biologi; Clinical biology; COMP; SLRP; ECM; collagen; cartilage; chondroadherin;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis describes chondroadherin, one of the leucine-rich repeat proteins in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage. Chondroadherin defines a subgroup of its own by not having an N-terminal extension, having a different cysteine pattern and by being devoid of carbohydrate substitutions. LÄS MER
