Articular Cartilage Transcription Factors Growth Plate MOLECULAR CONTROL OF ARTICULAR CARTILAGE DEVELOPMENT
نویسنده
چکیده
RELEVANCE TO MUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS: The mechanisms regulating the development of articular cartilage are largely unclear. This study describes for the first time the involvement and roles of members of the ets transcription factor family in establishing and maintaining the phenotype of articular chondrocytes, information which may lead to the design of therapeutic means to restore function in diseased articular cartilage.

Differential Immunohistochemical Expression Pattern of Galectin-3 in Normal and Osteoarthritic Human Articular Cartilage
Background: Previous studies have shown that Galectin-3, a member of lectin family, is expressed in developing cartilage in mouse embryo and also in growth plate of long bones. Objective: In the present work, the expression pattern of Galectin-3 in normal and various grades of osteoarthritic (OA) human articular cartilage has been studied. Methods: Using immunohistochemistry and standard we...
متن کاملMesenchymal stem cells can survive on the extracellular matrix-derived decellularized bovine articular cartilage scaffold
Objective (s): The scarcity of articular cartilage defect to repair due to absence of blood vessels and tissue engineering is one of the promising approaches for cartilage regeneration. The objective of this study was to prepare an extracellular matrix derived decellularized bovine articular cartilage scaffold and investigate its interactions with seeded rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (...
متن کاملRunx Expression in Normal and Osteoarthritic Cartilage: Possible Functions of Runx Proteins in Chondrocytes: A Dissertation
The Runx family of transcription factors supports cell fate determination, cell cycle regulation, global protein synthesis control, and genetic as well as epigenetic regulation of target genes. Runx1, which is essential for hematopoiesis; Runx2, which is required for osteoblast differentiation; and Runx3, which is involved in neurologic and gut development; are expressed in the growth plate dur...
متن کاملCharacterisation of articular and growth plate cartilage collagens in porcine osteochondrosis.
The articular and growth plate cartilages of osteochondrotic pigs were examined and compared with those from clinically normal animals. Both types of osteochondrotic cartilage showed considerable localised thickening apparently due to a lack of ossification. Histological examination of cartilage lesions demonstrated a breakdown in the normal pattern of chondrocyte maturation. Articular cartilag...
متن کاملConditioned medium derived from mesenchymal Stem cells regenerates’ defected articular cartilage
Background & Aims: One of cell- based technical issues associated with cartilage repair assay is delivering cells to the site of the parts where damage is created. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with their chondrogenic potential are ideal candidates for cartilage regeneration. High expression of cartilage hypertrophy markers by MSCs would result in apoptosis and ossification. This investigation ...
