Comprehensive analysis of pathological changes in hip joint capsule of patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Aims: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a complex musculoskeletal disease that occurs mostly in children. This study aimed to investigate the molecular changes in the hip joint capsule of patients with DDH. Results: More than one thousand genes were differentially expressed in hip joint capsules between healthy controls and DDH. Both gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genome (KEGG) analyses revealed that extracellular matrix (ECM) modifications, muscle system processes, and cell proliferation were markedly influenced by the differentially expressed genes. Conclusion: DDH is associated with the loss of collagen fibers and fibroblasts, which may cause loose joint capsule formation. However, the degree of differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts needs further studies.
