description | Osteoarthritis: Limiting tissue damage after knee surgery A potential therapeutic target identified by researchers in China could help limit damage to tissues following osteoarthritic knee surgery. A total knee arthroplasty can alleviate symptoms of end-stage osteoarthritis, but the surgery requires use of a tourniquet. This temporarily cuts blood supply to tissues and can trigger severe ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, tissue damage caused by blood flow returning after oxygen deficiency. Shao-Nan Yu and co-workers at the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, demonstrated that lowering expression of a particular RNA molecule following surgery could limit I/R damage. They found that the molecule was over-expressed in mice during I/R injury. This overexpression limited activation of a signalling pathway and an associated protein vital to the chemical balance of cell membranes and healthy muscle cell contraction. |
