Four are involved in defense and inflammatory responses of neutrophils (NE, MPO, NGP, and CRAMP), three other overexpressed genes are related to extracellular matrix organization and degradation (COL1A1, COL1A2, and MMP13); the remainder were a nociceptor in sensory neurons (MrgA1), a structural gene of P lysozyme (Lzp-s), an immunoglobulin alpha heavy chain constant region gene (Igh-2), an osteocalcin-related protein precursor (Bglap-rs1), and a membrane-spanning 4 domain, subfamily A, member 3 (Ms4a3). | |||||||||||||||

Furthermore, degradation of the matrix by catabolic factors such as MMP-13 make the cartilage susceptible to further mechanical erosion. | |||||||||||||||

Fibrillar collagen is resistant to proteolytic degradation but at neutral pH is susceptible to degradation from the collagenases MMP-1, MMP-8 and MMP-13 that are all found within the joint. | |||||||||||||||

Comprehensive investigation has indicated that the MMPs, including MMP-13, aggrecanase-1 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS-4), and aggrecanase-2 (ADAMTS-5), are the proteolytic enzymes that seem the most likely to be involved in the degradation of aggrecans in osteoarthritis cartilage (Lark et al 1997; Chambers et al 2001). | |||||||||||||||
