| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The regulation of ADAMTS5 is crucial for osteoarthritis. However, little is known for its mechanism. We hypothesized that endocytosis may be involved in ADAMTS5 regulation. First, we found that endocytosis occurred in OUMS-27. We next examined endocytosis-related molecule, LRP-1 and RAP. The mRNA level of receptor-associated protein (RAP), antagonist of LRP-1, was not changed by IL-1 beta stimulation. It is interesting that the small-sized bands were found by Western blotting using anti-LRP-1 antibody after IL-1 beta stimulation. This is considered to be a short LRP-1 and the shedding of LRP-1 may be occurred by IL-1 beta stimulation.
