Basic FGF mediates an immediate response of articular cartilage to mechanical injuryTonia Vincent
The Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College School of Science, Technology, and Medicine, 1 Aspenlea Road, London W6 8LH, UK
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 99:8259-64. 2002..The strong induction of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 suggests that bFGF could have a role in remodeling damaged tissue...
Sjögren's syndrome-associated myelopathy: response to immunosuppressive treatmentTonia L Vincent
Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College, London, United Kingdom
Am J Med 114:145-8. 2003
Fibroblast growth factor 2 inhibits induction of aggrecanase activity in human articular cartilageYasunobu Sawaji
Imperial College London, London, UK
Arthritis Rheum 58:3498-509. 2008..Articular chondrocytes are surrounded by an extracellular pool of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2). We undertook this study to investigate the possible role of FGF-2 in aggrecan catabolism by aggrecanase in human articular cartilage...
Fibroblast growth factor 2 is an intrinsic chondroprotective agent that suppresses ADAMTS-5 and delays cartilage degradation in murine osteoarthritisShi Lu Chia
Imperial College London, London, UK
Arthritis Rheum 60:2019-27. 2009..In vitro, FGF-2 suppresses interleukin-1-driven aggrecanase activity in human cartilage explants, suggesting a chondroprotective role in vivo. We undertook this study to investigate the in vivo role of FGF-2 in murine cartilage...
Regulation of pain sensitivity in experimental osteoarthritis by the endogenous peripheral opioid systemJulia J Inglis
Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, Imperial College London, London, UK
Arthritis Rheum 58:3110-9. 2008..However, up to 40% of individuals with radiologic damage are asymptomatic. The purpose of this study was to assess the role of the endogenous opioid system in delaying the onset of pain in a murine model of osteoarthritis (OA)...
Basic fibroblast growth factor mediates transduction of mechanical signals when articular cartilage is loadedTonia L Vincent
The Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, London, UK
Arthritis Rheum 50:526-33. 2004..To determine whether the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mediates signal transduction in articular cartilage in response to mechanical loading...
Induction of interleukin-1 in articular cartilage by explantation and cuttingJohann Gruber
Imperial College School of Medicine, London, UK
Arthritis Rheum 50:2539-46. 2004..Biologically active IL-1alpha protein was detectable in cartilage lysates and was probably intracellular proIL-1alpha. We were unable to show that IL-1 was secreted by chondrocytes...
Is the response of cartilage to injury relevant to osteoarthritis?Tonia L Vincent
Arthritis Rheum 58:1207-10. 2008
