Abstract

The article presents a study which aims to investigate the association of SIRT1, known to inhibit apoptosis, to apoptosis of human chondrocytes. It examines the expression of SIRT1 in human chondrocytes through reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistology of human cartilage samples. According to the study, SIRT1 regulates apoptosis in human chondrocytes by the modulation of mitochondria-associated apoptotic signals.
