Abstract

In a variety of physiological and pathophysiological conditions, cells are exposed to acidic environments. Severe synovial fluid acidification also occurs in a progressive state of osteoarthritis (OA) affecting articular chondrocytes. In prior studies extracellular acidification has been shown to protect cells from apoptosis but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In the present study, we demonstrate that the inhibition of Cl
