Low‐Grade Inflammation in Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: Prognostic Value of Inflammatory Plasma Lipids and Peripheral Blood Leukocyte Biomarkers

Abstract: Objective Inflammatory mediators, such as PGE2 and IL-1β, are produced by osteoarthritic joint tissues, where they may contribute to disease pathogenesis. We examined whether inflammation, reflected in plasma and peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) reflected presence of osteoarthritis (OA), progression or symptoms in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (SKOA). Methods SKOA patients were enrolled in a 24-month prospective study of radiographic progression. Standardized knee radiographs were obtained … Show more

“…In addition, Attur et al recently described the use of systemic markers of inflammation as biomarkers of osteoarthritis [40, 41]. This finding supports our observation of relatively higher levels of peripheral blood activated CD8+ T cells when compared to its CD4+ T cell compartment.…”

“…NO and PGE 2 levels have been demonstrated much higher in patients with OA and considered as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in clinical development of OA (Attur et al 2015;de Lange-Brokaar et al 2015). It is well known that iNOS and COX-2 are important regulatory inflammatory factors.…”
