Cyclic loading increases friction and changes cartilage surface integrity in lubricin-mutant mouse knees

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of lubricin gene dosage and cyclic loading on whole joint coefficient of friction and articular cartilage surface integrity in mouse knee joints. METHODS: Joints from mice with 2 (Prg4(+/+)), 1 (Prg4(+/−)), or no (Prg4(−/−)) functioning lubricin alleles were sub...
