The comments given to Q544 regarding alpha, beta, and gamma radiation and muscle apply also to cartilage. Mature cartilage, like adult muscle and bone, is resistant to radiation effects. Doses of 60-70 Gy from radiation therapy ... What specific part of the human cartilage is affected by gamma, beta, and alpha radiation?

To further understand the expression profile of these genes in fetal cartilage, we constructed a cDNA microarray utilizing the clones. The microarray was used to determine which genes had higher expression in cartilage as compared with dedifferentiated, cultured chondrocytes.

OBJECTIVE: To test in vitro the direct effects of radiation synovectomy with 90Y on human cartilage. METHODS: Human cartilage tissue was exposed to 90Y, glucocorticoids or the combination. 1:2000 to 1:20 dilutions of the clinical dose of 5 mCi/ml 90Y and 20 mg/ml glucocorticoids were used.

When analyzing the natural T cell response against a candidate autoantigen in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), namely human cartilage gp-39 (HC gp-39), we found that healthy donors, although displaying a typical Th1 reaction against a mixture of recall antigens, reacted against HC gp-39 by producing IL-10.

Objective. To study the specificity of the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) response to peptides derived from human cartilage glycoprotein-39 (HC gp-39) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the correlation between this response and disease activity.
