The Anti-inflammatory and Matrix Restorative Mechanisms of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Osteoarthritis

Emily A. Sundman, Brian J. Cole, Vasili Karas, Craig J. Della Valle et al.

Short summary

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) joint tissues significantly reduced the expression of MMP-13 (a key enzyme in cartilage breakdown) in synoviocytes and increased hyaluronan synthase-2 (HAS-2) expression, suggesting enhanced endogenous hyaluronan production, compared to high molecular weight hyaluronan (HA) alone.
