Expression and synthesis of A1M has been shown to be upregulated in cells after exposure to heme and ROS (Olsson et al., 2007, 2011). PubMed:30505280
This is consistent with our findings here that both heme and Hb were associated with increased levels of synovial fluid A1M. PubMed:30505280
These novel data support a role for A1M in the protection against oxidative damage due to extracellular Hb and heme in the joint in various knee arthropathies. PubMed:30505280
Expression and synthesis of A1M has been shown to be upregulated in cells after exposure to heme and ROS (Olsson et al., 2007, 2011). PubMed:30505280
As a part of the inflammatory response after injury, oxidative stress due to formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is involved both in direct damage of cartilage components and as integral factors in cell signaling leading to cartilage degradation (Henrotin et al., 2003). PubMed:30505280
