A lower in serum PIIANP has been observed in sufferers with knee OA and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [12,13]. A study by Sharif et al. investigated serum PIIANP levels in patients with mild-to-moderate knee OA to get a period of five years and showed that disease progression correlates with greater levels of serum PIIANP, and individuals inside the highest quartile of PIIANP levels possess the highest threat of OA progression [14]. The cause for this is that kind IIA procollagen may be re-expressed in OA cartilage as a repair mechanism [59]. In contrast, a current study reported that danger of progression was also connected with low serum levels of PIIANP among individuals characterized by mild and moderate knee OA [16]. Thus, additional verification is expected. For sophisticated OA, a preceding study of Garnero et al. observed an association of decreased serum levels of PIIANP and progression in patients with medial compartment knee OA [15], reflecting an absence of efficient cartilage repair mechanism in sophisticated OA. Taken collectively, the value of serum PIIANP desires to be viewed as carefully when evaluating OA. Subsequent, researchers have also been focused on the a lot of cleavage fragme.
