Increased release of bone sialoprotein into synovial fluid reflects tissue destruction in rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: Objective. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) was quantified in synovial fluids and sera from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients to elucidate whether its release from bone relates to the degree of joint tissue destruction. Osteocalcin was assayed for comparison.Methods. BSP and osteocalcin levels were determined by immunoassays of knee synovial fluids and of sera from RA patients who were selected on the basis of radiographic knee joint tissue damage.Results. Synovial fluid concentrations of BSP increased with increasing… Show more

“…More recently, immunoassay techniques have been developed that measure immunoreactive BSP in serum [155,156]. All these assays are based on polyclonal antisera, and little is known about the spec®c nature of the respective epitopes.…”

“…BSP is particularly enriched in the cartilage-bone interphase (16). Synovial fluid levels of the protein are higher in RA patients with advanced joint destruction than in patients with well preserved joints ( 17 ). COMP is a cartilage specific protein with the highest concentrations being found in articular cartilage (18).…”

“…(25,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33) Several metabolic bone diseases characterized by excessive bone resorption, including postmenopausal osteoporosis, Paget's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis have also been associated with abnormally high BSP level in serum or synovial fluid. (34)(35)(36)(37) In contrast, treatments aimed at reducing excessive bone loss in postmenopausal women or patients with Paget's disease have been reported to decrease serum BSP level. (38,39) Although BSP expression in soft tissues and high serum BSP level are apparently associated with ectopic calcification and pathological bone remodeling, the effects of BSP overexpression in a transgenic mouse model remain unclear.…”
