Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) is an important subunit of ferro-storing proteins and is indispensable for iron metabolism. Though it has been extensively studied in numerous organs and diseases, the relationship between FTH1 and osteoarthritis (OA) is unclear. DESIGN Primary murine chondrocytes and cartilage explants were treated with FTH1 siRNA for 72 h. Mice were injected with adenovirus expressing FTH1 after destabilized medial meniscus (DMM) surgery. These approaches were used to determine the effect of FTH1 expression on the pathophysiology of OA. RESULTS FTH1 expression was down regulated in OA patients and mice after DMM surgery. Knock down of FTH1 induced articular cartilage damage and extracellular matrix degradation in cartilage explants. Further, over expression of FTH1 reduced the susceptibility of chondrocytes to ferroptosis and reversed decrements in SOX9 and aggrecan after DMM surgery. Moreover, FTH1 relieved OA by inhibition of the chondrocyte MAPK pathway. CONCLUSION This study found FTH1 to play an essential role in extracellular matrix degradation, ferroptosis, and chondrocytes senescence during OA progression. Further, injection of adenovirus expressing FTH1 may be a potential strategy for OA prevention and therapy.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the glycan structural changes that occur before histological degeneration in osteoarthritis (OA) and to determine the mechanism by which these glycan conformational changes affect cartilage degeneration. An OA model was established in rabbits using mannosidase injection, which reduced high-mannose type N-glycans and led to cartilage degeneration. Further analysis of glycome in human OA cartilage identified specific corefucosylated N-glycan expression patterns. Inhibition of N-glycan corefucosylation in mice resulted in unrecoverable cartilage degeneration, while cartilage-specific blocking of corefucosylation led to accelerated development of aging-associated and instability-induced OA models. We conclude that α1,6 fucosyltransferase is required postnatally to prevent preosteoarthritic deterioration of articular cartilage. These findings provide a novel definition of early OA and identify glyco-phenotypes of OA cartilage, which may distinguish individuals at higher risk of progression.

Abstract
The study aimed to assess the metabolomic profile of the synovial fluid (SF) of dogs affected by spontaneous osteoarthritis (OA) and compare any differences based on disease progression. Sixty client-owned dogs affected by spontaneous OA underwent clinical, radiographic, and cytologic evaluations to confirm the diagnosis. The affected joints were divided into four study groups based on the Kallgreen-Lawrence classification: OA1 (mild), OA2 (moderate), OA3 (severe), and OA4 (extremely severe/deforming). The osteoarthritic joint's SF was subjected to cytologic examination and 1H-NMR analysis. The metabolomic profiles of the study groups' SF samples were statistically compared using one-way ANOVA. Sixty osteoarthritic joints (45 stifles, 10 shoulders and 5 elbows) were included in the study. Fourteen, 28, and 18 joints were included in the OA1, OA2, and OA3 groups, respectively (0 joints in the OA4 group). Metabolomic analysis identified 48 metabolites, five of which were significantly different between study groups: Mannose and betaine were elevated in the OA1 group compared with the OA2 group, and the 2-hydroxyisobutyrate concentration decreased with OA progression; in contrast, isoleucine was less concentrated in mild vs. moderate OA, and lactate increased in severe OA. This study identified different 1H-NMR metabolomic profiles of canine SF in patients with progressive degrees of spontaneous OA, suggesting 1H-NMR metabolomic analysis as a potential alternative method for monitoring OA progression. In addition, the results suggest the therapeutic potentials of the metabolomic pathways that involve mannose, betaine, 2-hydroxyisobutyrate, isoleucine, and lactate.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating degenerative disease affecting multiple joint tissues, including cartilage, bone, synovium, and adipose tissues. OA presents diverse clinical phenotypes and distinct molecular endotypes, including inflammatory, metabolic, mechanical, genetic, and synovial variants. Consequently, innovative technologies are needed to support the development of effective diagnostic and precision therapeutic approaches. Traditional analysis of bulk OA tissue extracts has limitations due to technical constraints, causing challenges in the differentiation between various physiological and pathological phenotypes in joint tissues. This issue has led to standardization difficulties and hindered the success of clinical trials. Gaining insights into the spatial variations of the cellular and molecular structures in OA tissues, encompassing DNA, RNA, metabolites, and proteins, as well as their chemical properties, elemental composition, and mechanical attributes, can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the disease subtypes. Spatially resolved biology enables biologists to investigate cells within the context of their tissue microenvironment, providing a more holistic view of cellular function. Recent advances in innovative spatial biology techniques now allow intact tissue sections to be examined using various -omics lenses, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, with spatial data. This fusion of approaches provides researchers with critical insights into the molecular composition and functions of the cells and tissues at precise spatial coordinates. Furthermore, advanced imaging techniques, including high-resolution microscopy, hyperspectral imaging, and mass spectrometry imaging, enable the visualization and analysis of the spatial distribution of biomolecules, cells, and tissues. Linking these molecular imaging outputs to conventional tissue histology can facilitate a more comprehensive characterization of disease phenotypes. This review summarizes the recent advancements in the molecular imaging modalities and methodologies for in-depth spatial analysis. It explores their applications, challenges, and potential opportunities in the field of OA. Additionally, this review provides a perspective on the potential research directions for these contemporary approaches that can meet the requirements of clinical diagnoses and the establishment of therapeutic targets for OA.

Abstract
N-glycan alterations contribute to the progression of several joint diseases, including knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, molecular changes in KOA subchondral trabecular bone, when exposed to different joint loading forces, are still unknown. The aim of this study was, therefore, to demonstrate the feasibility to differentiate N-glycan changes in subchondral trabecular bone from four different joint loading forces of the tibial plateau regions (i.e., Lateral Anterior (L-A), Lateral Posterior (L-P), Medial Anterior (M-A), and Medial Posterior (M-P)) in KOA patients (n = 10) using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) at 20 μm spatial resolution. The degree of cartilage degeneration was evaluated histologically, and the subchondral bone tissue microarrays (TMAs) were subsequently manually constructed from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) KOA osteochondral (i.e., cartilage-subchondral bone) tissues. Overall, the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) histological grade was significantly higher and the size of chondrocytes in the superficial zone was much larger for both M-A and M-P compared to L-A and L-P of cartilage (p = 0.006, p = 0.030, p = 0.028, and p = 0.010; respectively). Among the 65 putative N-glycans observed by MALDI-MSI, 2 core fucosylated bi-antennary N-glycans, m/z 1809.64; (Hex)5(HexNAc)4(Fuc)1 and 2100.73; (NeuAc)1(Hex)5(HexNAc)4(Fuc)1, were significantly higher in intensity in M-A compared to L-A of the trabecular bone (p = 0.027, and p = 0.038, respectively). These N-glycans were then further structurally characterized by in situ MS/MS fragmentation post-MALDI-MSI. Our results demonstrate, for the first time, N-glycan alterations can occur at different joint loading forces in the KOA tibial plateau and the feasibility of subchondral bone TMA construction for N-glycan MALDI-MSI.

Abstract
Abnormal N-glycosylation has been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases. However, little is known about the relationship between N-glycosylation and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) progression at the tissue level. Thus, the aim of this study was to quantify the cartilage histomorphometric changes in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue collected from the lateral and medial compartments of the tibial plateau KOA patients (n = 8). Subsequently, N-glycans were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) followed by in situ MS/MS fragmentation. Overall, the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) histological grade and cartilage surface fibrillation index were significantly higher, and chondrocyte size in the superficial zone was much larger, for the medial high-loaded cartilage compared to the lateral less-loaded cartilage. Among 92 putative N-glycans observed by MALDI-MSI, 3 complex-type N-glycans, (Hex)4(HexNAc)3, (Hex)4(HexNAc)4, and (Hex)5(HexNAc)4, and 1 oligomannose-type N-glycan, (Hex)9(HexNAc)2, were significantly higher in intensity in the medial cartilage compared to the lateral cartilage, whereas 2 tetra-antennary fucosylated-type N-glycans, (Hex)3(HexNAc)6(Fuc)2 and (Hex)3(HexNAc)6(Fuc)3, were significantly higher in intensity in the lateral cartilage than the medial cartilage. Our findings indicate that complex-type N-glycans are associated with higher severity of cartilage degeneration and may influence the cellular processes of KOA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of aging people. Investigation of abnormal glycosylation is essential for the understanding of pathological mechanisms of OA. METHODS The total protein was isolated from OA (n = 13) and control (n = 11) cartilages. Subsequently, glycosylation alterations of glycoproteins in OA cartilage were investigated by lectin microarrays and intact glycopeptides analysis. Finally, the expression of glycosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of altered glycosylation was assessed by qPCR and GEO database. RESULTS Our findings revealed that several glycopatterns, such as α-1,3/6 fucosylation and high-mannose type of N-glycans were altered in OA cartilages. Notably, over 27% of identified glycopeptides (109 glycopeptides derived from 47 glycoproteins mainly located in the extracellular region) disappeared or decreased in OA cartilages, which is related to the cartilage matrix degradation. Interestingly, the microheterogeneity of N-glycans on fibronectin and aggrecan core protein was observed in OA cartilage. Our results combined with GEO data indicated that the pro-inflammatory cytokines altered the expression of glycosyltransferases (ALG3, ALG5, MGAT4C, and MGAT5) which may contribute to the alterations in glycosylation. CONCLUSION Our study revealed the abnormal glycopatterns and heterogeneities of site-specific glycosylation associated with OA. To our knowledge, it is the first time that the heterogeneity of site-specific N-glycans was reported in OA cartilage. The results of gene expression analysis suggested that the expression of glycosyltransferases was impacted by pro-inflammatory cytokines, which may facilitate the degradation of protein and accelerate the process of OA. Our findings provide valuable information for the understanding of molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of OA.

Abstract
N-Glycan alterations contribute to the pathophysiology and progression of various diseases. However, the involvement of N-glycans in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) progression at the tissue level, especially within articular cartilage, is still poorly understood. Thus, the aim of this study was to spatially map and identify KOA-specific N-glycans from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) osteochondral tissue of the tibial plateau relative to cadaveric control (CTL) tissues. Human FFPE osteochondral tissues from end-stage KOA patients (n=3) and CTL individuals (n=3), aged >55 years old, were analyzed by matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI‐MSI) and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Overall, it was revealed that 22 N-glycans were found in the cartilage region of KOA and CTL tissue. Of those, 15 N-glycans were more prominent in KOA cartilage than CTL cartilage. We then compared sub-regions of KOA and CTL tissues based on the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) histopathological grade (1 to 6), where 1 is an intact cartilage surface and 6 is cartilage surface deformation. Interestingly, three specific complex-type N-glycans, (Hex)4(HexNAc)3, (Hex)4(HexNAc)4, and (Hex)5(HexNAc)4, were found to be localized to the superficial fibrillated zone of degraded cartilage (KOA OARSI 2.5-4), compared to adjacent cartilage with less degradation (KOA OARSI 1-2) or relatively healthy cartilage (CTL OARSI 1-2). Our results demonstrate that N-glycans specific to degraded cartilage in KOA patients have been identified at the tissue level for the first time. The presence of these N-glycans could further be evaluated as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.

Elevation of α-1,3 fucosylation promotes the binding ability of TNFR1 to TNF-α and contributes to osteoarthritic cartilage destruction and apoptosis. Arthritis Res Ther 2022; 24:93.

Abstract
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and is characterized by the degradation of articular cartilage and inflammation of the synovial membrane. Fucosylation is an important feature of protein N/O-glycosylation and is involved in a variety of pathological processes, including inflammation and cancer. However, whether fucosylation impacts the OA pathological process is unknown. Methods Total proteins were extracted from cartilage samples obtained from patients with OA (n = 11) and OA rabbit models at different time points (n = 12). OA-associated abnormal glycopatterns were evaluated by lectin microarrays and lectin blots. The expression of fucosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of α-1,3 fucosylation was assessed by semi-qPCR. The synthesis of α-1,3 fucosylation mediated by FUT10 was interrupted by the transfection of siRNA, and the effect of α-1,3 fucosylation on OA-associated events was assessed. Then, immunoprecipitation and lectin blotting were used to investigate the relationship between the α-1,3 fucosylation level of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1A (TNFR1) and OA. Finally, a TNFR1 antibody microarray was fabricated to evaluate the effect of α-1,3 fucosylation on the ability of TNFR1 to bind to tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Results Elevated α-1,3 fucosylation was observed in cartilage from OA patients, rabbit models, and chondrocytes induced by TNF-α (fold change> 2, p< 0.01). Our results and the GEO database indicated that the overexpression of FUT10 contributed to this alteration. Silencing the expression of FUT10 impaired the ability of TNFR1 to bind to TNF-α, impeded activation of the NF-κB and P38/JNK-MAPK pathways, and eventually retarded extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, senescence, and apoptosis in chondrocytes exposed to TNF-α. Conclusion The elevation of α-1,3 fucosylation is not only a characteristic of OA but also impacts the OA pathological process. Our work provides a new positive feedback loop of “inflammation conditions/TNF-α/FUT10/α-1,3 fucosylation of TNFR1/NF-κB and P38/JNK-MAPK pathways/proinflammatory processes” that contributes to ECM degradation and chondrocyte apoptosis.

[PMID: 34331982 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.07.159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2021] [Revised: 07/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/23/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
N-glycosylation is a major post-translational modification of proteins and involved in many diseases, however, the state and role of N-glycosylation in cartilage degeneration of osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) remain unclear. The aim of this study is to identify the glycoproteins of ONFH hip cartilage. Cartilage tissues were collected from nine patients with ONFH and nine individuals with traumatic femoral neck fracture. Cartilage glycoproteins were identified by glycoproteomics based on LC-MS/MS. The differentially N-glycoproteins including glycosites were identified in ONFH and controls. A total of 408 N-glycoproteins with 444 N-glycosites were identified in ONFH and control cartilage. Among them, 104 N-glycoproteins with 130 N-glycosites were significantly differential in ONFH and control cartilage, which including matrix-remodeling-associated protein 5, prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1, clusterin and lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2. Gene Ontology analysis revealed the significantly differential glycoproteins mainly belonged to protein metabolic process, single-multicellular organism process, proteolysis, biological adhesion and cell adhesion. KEGG pathway and protein-protein interaction analysis suggested that the significantly differential glycoproteins were associated with PI3K-Akt signalling pathway, ECM-receptor interaction, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum and N-glycan biosynthesis. This information provides substantial insight into the role of protein glycosylation in the development of cartilage degeneration of ONFH patients.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a technique used to visualize the spatial distribution of biomolecules such as peptides, proteins, lipids or other organic compounds by their molecular masses. Among the different MSI strategies, MALDI-MSI provides a sensitive and label-free approach for imaging of a wide variety of protein or peptide biomarkers from the surface of tissue sections, being currently used in an increasing number of biomedical applications such as biomarker discovery and tissue classification. In the field of rheumatology, MALDI-MSI has been applied to date for the analysis of joint tissues such as synovial membrane or cartilage. This review summarizes the studies and key achievements obtained using MALDI-MSI to increase understanding on rheumatic pathologies and to describe potential diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers of these diseases. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: MALDI Imaging, edited by Dr. Corinna Henkel and Prof. Peter Hoffmann.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that high-molecular-weight (MW) cross-linked (CL) hyaluronic acid (HA) improves joint lubrication and has an enhanced chondroprotective effect. We examined the histopathological changes and friction coefficients in osteoarthritic knee joints after injecting high-MW CL HA. DESIGN A bilateral anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) model in 20 Japanese white rabbits was used. From week 5 after transection, low-MW HA (0.8 × 10(6) Da; HA80) or high-MW CL HA (6 × 10(6) Da; HA600) was injected weekly into 10 right knee for 3 weeks; normal saline (NS) was injected into the 10 left knee. A sham operation was undertaken to exclude spontaneous osteoarthritis (OA) in five knees. Results were evaluated with macroscopy, histopathology (Kikuchi's score), biomechanical testing, and rheological assessment of the joint fluid viscoelasticity. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance with a 95% confidence interval (CI) (P < 0.05). RESULTS The macroscopic findings showed severely damaged cartilage in 30% of the NS group and 20% of the HA80 and HA600 groups and intact cartilage in 100% of the sham group. The histological scores and friction coefficients of the HA600 group were significantly lower than those of the NS group (P = 0.007 and P = 0.002, respectively). Viscoelasticity measurements of the joint fluid showed no significant differences between the three treatment groups. CONCLUSION High-MW CL HA exerts potential chondroprotective effects and produces superior friction coefficients. Our results suggest that HA600 delays the progression of OA effectively and improves joint lubrication significantly.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to characterize the glycophenotype of osteoarthritic cartilage and human chondrocytes. METHODS Articular knee cartilage was obtained from nine osteoarthritis (OA) patients. mRNA levels for 27 glycosyltransferases were analyzed in OA chondrocytes using RT-qPCR. Additionally, N- and O-glycans were quantified using mass-spectrometry. Histologically, two cartilage areas with Mankin scores (MS) either ≤ 4 or ≥ 9 were selected from each patient representing areas of mild and severe OA, respectively. Tissue sections were stained with (1) a selected panel of plant lectins for probing into the OA glycophenotype, (2) the human lectins galectins-1 and -3, and (3) the glycoprotein asialofetuin (ASF) for visualizing β-galactoside-specific endogenous lectins. RESULTS We found that OA chondrocytes expressed oligomannosidic structures as well as non-, mono- and disialylated complex-type N-glycans, and core 2 O-glycans. Reflecting B4GALNT3 mRNA presence in OA chondrocytes, LacdiNAc-terminated structures were detected. Staining profiles for plant and human lectins were dependent on the grade of cartilage degeneration, and ASF-positive cells were observed in significantly higher rates in areas of severe degeneration. CONCLUSIONS In summary, distinct aspects of the glycome in OA cartilage are altered with progressing degeneration. In particular, the alterations measured by galectin-3 and the pan-galectin sensor ASF encourage detailed studies of galectin functionality in OA.

Abstract
This review is the fifth update of the original review, published in 1999, on the application of MALDI mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2008. The first section of the review covers fundamental studies, fragmentation of carbohydrate ions, use of derivatives and new software developments for analysis of carbohydrate spectra. Among newer areas of method development are glycan arrays, MALDI imaging and the use of ion mobility spectrometry. The second section of the review discusses applications of MALDI MS to the analysis of different types of carbohydrate. Specific compound classes that are covered include carbohydrate polymers from plants, N- and O-linked glycans from glycoproteins, biopharmaceuticals, glycated proteins, glycolipids, glycosides and various other natural products. There is a short section on the use of MALDI mass spectrometry for the study of enzymes involved in glycan processing and a section on the use of MALDI MS to monitor products of the chemical synthesis of carbohydrates with emphasis on carbohydrate-protein complexes and glycodendrimers. Corresponding analyses by electrospray ionization now appear to outnumber those performed by MALDI and the amount of literature makes a comprehensive review on this technique impractical. However, most of the work relating to sample preparation and glycan synthesis is equally relevant to electrospray and, consequently, those proposing analyses by electrospray should also find material in this review of interest.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We have developed an ultrapurified low endotoxin alginate (UPLE alginate), which can drastically reduce endotoxin levels. Our purposes were to examine the effects of UPLE alginate administration on osteoarthritis (OA) progression and to determine the adequate molecular weight of the UPLE alginate for therapeutic effects. DESIGN To induce knee OA, 35 Japanese White rabbits underwent anterior cruciate ligament transection. Intra-articular injections of 0.3 mL solution of each material were started at 4 weeks postoperatively for a total of 5 weekly injections. Seventy knees were divided into the following groups: AL430 (430 kDa molecular weight UPLE alginate), AL1000 (1,000 kDa), AL1700 (1,700 kDa), HA (hyaluronan), and NS (normal saline). At 9 weeks postoperatively, all knees were assessed macroscopically, histologically, and mechanically. RESULTS Macroscopically, the UPLE alginate groups exhibited milder cartilage degradation compared to that of the NS and HA groups. Histological findings of the UPLE alginate groups showed an obvious reduction in the severity of OA. The histological scores of Kikuchi et al. were superior in the alginate treatment groups compared to the NS group. The friction coefficient of the AL1000 group was significantly lower than that of the NS and HA groups. CONCLUSION This study indicates that our UPLE alginates, especially AL1000, have promising potential as an effective agent in preventing OA progression.

Abstract
Despite the significance of glycoproteins for extracellular matrix assembly in cartilage tissue, little is known about the regulation of the chondrocyte glycophenotype under inflammatory conditions. The present study aimed to assess the effect of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha on specific features of the glycophenotype of primary human chondrocytes in vitro. Using LC-MS, we found that both cytokines increased overall sialylation of N- and O-glycans and induced a shift towards alpha-(2-->3)-linked sialic acid residues in chondrocyte glycoproteins. These results were supported by quantitative PCR showing increased expression of alpha-(2-->3) sialyltransferases in treated cells. Moreover, we found that both IL-1beta and TNF-alpha induced a considerable shift from oligomannosidic glycans towards complex-type N-glycans. In contrast, core alpha-(1-->6)-fucosylation of chondrocyte N-glycans was found to be reduced particularly by TNF-alpha. In summary, inflammatory conditions induce specific alterations of the chondrocyte glycophenotype which might affect cell-matrix interactions or the function of endogenous lectins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sialic acids frequently occur at the terminal positions of glycoprotein N-glycans present at chondrocyte surfaces or in the cartilage matrix. Sialic acids are transferred to glycoproteins in either alpha-2,3 or alpha-2,6 linkage by specific sialyltransferases (SiaTs) and can potentially affect cell functions and cell-matrix interactions. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between the expression of the human chondrocyte phenotype and the sialylation of chondrocyte glycoprotein N-glycans. METHODS The transcription of 5 SiaT was quantified using real-time Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. N-glycan analysis was performed using LC-ESI-MS. Primary human chondrocytes were cultured in monolayer or alginate beads and compared to the chondrocyte cell lines C-28/I2 and SW1353. In addition, effects of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) or tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on primary cells were assessed. RESULTS Primary human chondrocytes predominantly express alpha-2,6-specific SiaTs and accordingly, alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid residues in glycoprotein N-glycans. In contrast, the preponderance of alpha-2,3-linked sialyl residues and, correspondingly, reduced levels of alpha-2,6-specific SiaTs are associated with the altered chondrocyte phenotype of C-28/I2 and SW1353 cells. Importantly, a considerable shift towards alpha-2,3-linked sialic acids and alpha-2,3-specific SiaT mRNA levels occurred in primary chondrocytes treated with IL-1beta or tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). CONCLUSION The expression of the differentiated chondrocyte phenotype is linked to the ratio of alpha-2,6- to alpha-2,3-linked sialic acids in chondrocyte glycoprotein N-glycans. A shift towards altered sialylation might contribute to impaired cell-matrix interactions in disease conditions.
