Abstract:
Osteoarthritis is a chronic disabling disease that tends to occur in middle-aged and elderly population, the main pathological characteristics are the dynamic imbalance between the synthesis and degradation of articular chondrocytes, extracellular matrix and subchondral bone. The occurrence and development is related to many factors. This article reviews the structure, the function and the interaction between α2-macroglobulins and a disintegrin and metallo-proteinase with throm-bospondin motifs in the development of osteoarthritis.
