The role of increased synovial fluid A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs4 and serglycin levels in osteoarthritis

AbstractBackgroundThe first research to determine synovial fluid ADAMTS4 and serglycin levels in osteoarthritis and OA progression.AimWe aimed to determine ADAMTS4 and serglycin levels, interactions, and changes in the synovial fluid of knee OA, and also to determine effective in OA progression.MethodsA case-control study was carried out including a total of 88 participants (29 patients late OA [LOA], 28 early OA [EOA], and 30 controls). Synovial fluid serglycin and ADAMTS4 levels were measured by commercially available ELISA kits, and knee functions of the patients were evaluated with The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis score (WOMAC). Logistic regression analysis was applied for the associated with progression of OA.ResultsSynovial fluid ADAMTS4 and serglycin levels were significantly higher in LOA than EOA and control groups (p <  .001 andp <  .001;p = .038 andp = .007, respectively). All parameters were evaluated after adjustment for age. LOA patients had significantly higher levels of WOMAC score than EOA and controls (p <  .001 andp <  .001). According to the logistic regression analysis, synovial fluid ADAMTS4, serglycin levels, and WOMAC score were found to be significantly associated with progression of OA.
