Serum collagen Type II cleavage epitope and serum hyaluronic acid as biomarkers for treatment monitoring of dogs with hip osteoarthritis. PLoS ONE, vol. 11, n. 2 (17 feb. 2016), art. e0149472.

For this purpose, a treatment model based on mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue combined with plasma rich in growth factors was used. This clinical study included 10 dogs with hip osteoarthritis. Both analytes were measured in serum at baseline, just before applying the treatment, and 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment. These results were compared with those obtained from force plate analysis using the same animals during the same study period. Levels of type II collagen cleavage epitope decreased and those of hyaluronic acid increased with clinical improvement objectively verified via force plate analysis, suggesting these two biomarkers could be effective as indicators of clinical development of joint disease in dogs.application/pdfesopen accessHyaluronic acid - Therapeutic use.Articulaciones - Enfermedades - Tratamiento.Joints - Diseases - Treatment.Células madre - Uso terapéutico.Stem cells - Therapeutic use.Ácido hialurónico - Uso terapéutico.Growth factors - Therapeutic use.Perros - Locomoción.Dogs - Locomotion.Osteoartritis en los perros - Tratamiento.Osteoarthritis in dogs - Treatment.Crecimiento - Factores - Uso terapéutico.Serum collagen Type II cleavage epitope and serum hyaluronic acid as biomarkers for treatment monitoring of dogs with hip osteoarthritisArtículohttps://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0149472https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es
