Cripto favors chondrocyte hypertrophy via TGF-β SMAD1/5 signaling during development of osteoarthritis. [PDF]
Chondrocytes in mice developing osteoarthritis (OA) exhibit an aberrant response to the secreted cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β, consisting in a potentiation of intracellular signaling downstream of the transmembrane type I receptor kinase ...

Effect of Inflammatory Signaling on Human Articular Chondrocyte Hypertrophy: Potential Involvement of Tissue Repair Macrophages. [PDF]
Objective In osteoarthritis, chondrocytes tend to acquire a hypertrophic phenotype, which contributes to the modification of the extracellular matrix, resulting in permanent cartilage changes.

Osteoarthritis-Related Inflammation Blocks TGF-β's Protective Effect on Chondrocyte Hypertrophy via (de)Phosphorylation of the SMAD2/3 Linker Region. [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by irreversible cartilage damage, inflammation and altered chondrocyte phenotype. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling via SMAD2/3 is crucial for blocking hypertrophy.

Chemokine (C-C Motif) Ligand 2/Chemokine Receptor 2 (CCR2) Axis Blockade to Delay Chondrocyte Hypertrophy as a Therapeutic Strategy for Osteoarthritis. [PDF]
Background Chondrocytes play a vital role in the later stages of osteoarthritis (OA). The roles of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) and its receptor, chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2), are as yet poorly elucidated in chondrocyte hypertrophy (CH). Here, we

Mechanical compression induces chondrocyte hypertrophy by regulating Runx2 O-GlcNAcylation during temporomandibular joint condyle degeneration [PDF]
Aims: Excessive chondrocyte hypertrophy is a common feature in cartilage degeneration which is susceptible to joint overloading, but the relationship between mechanical overloading and chondrocyte hypertrophy still remains elusive.

IRE1α regulates the PTHrP-IHH feedback loop to orchestrate chondrocyte hypertrophy and cartilage mineralization [PDF]
Cartilage development is controlled by the highly synergistic proliferation and differentiation of growth plate chondrocytes, in which the Indian hedgehog (IHH) and parathyroid hormone-related protein-parathyroid hormone-1 receptor (PTHrP-PTH1R) feedback

The role of histone deacetylase 4 during chondrocyte hypertrophy and endochondral bone development. [PDF]
Chondrocyte hypertrophy represents a crucial turning point during endochondral bone development. This process is tightly regulated by various factors, constituting a regulatory network that maintains normal bone development. Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4)

Collagen type II suppresses articular chondrocyte hypertrophy and osteoarthritis progression by promoting integrin β1-SMAD1 interaction. [PDF]
Hypertrophic differentiation is not only the terminal process of endochondral ossification in the growth plate but is also an important pathological change in osteoarthritic cartilage.
