Immunopharmacology Comments
ADAMTS4 and -5 diminish cartilage integrity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by catalysing degradation of aggrecan [3-4].
The activity of ADAMTS4 has been implicated in inducing excessive fibroblast activity and lower respiratory tract tissue damage in viral infection-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [1]. This suggests that inhibition of ADAMTS4 protease activity might be applicable to limit lung damage and improve clinical outcomes following severe respiratory infections.
Immuno Disease Associations
Disease Name:  Rheumatoid arthritis
Disease Synonyms:  no synonynms
Comment:  ADAMTS4 is involved in RA pathogenesis.
Disease X-refs:  Disease Ontology: DOID:7148
OMIM: 180300
References:  3-4
Disease Name:  Osteoarthritis
Disease Synonyms:  no synonynms
Comment:  ADAMTS4 and -5 are major players in development of OA. In human OA ADAMTS4 is induced by IL-1α and TNF-α, two cytokines involved in OA.
