Smad4 regulates growth plate matrix production and chondrocyte polarity [PDF]
Smad4 is an intracellular effector of the TGFβ family that has been implicated in Myhre syndrome, a skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, brachydactyly and stiff joints.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 effects on proliferation and telomerase activity in sheep growth plate chondrocytes [PDF]
Background Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) inhibits growth-plate chondrocyte proliferation and limits bone elongation. Gain-of-function FGFR3 mutations cause dwarfism, reduced telomerase activity and shorter telomeres in growth plate ...

BMSC-derived exosomes from congenital polydactyly tissue alleviate osteoarthritis by promoting chondrocyte proliferation. [PDF]
In the past decade, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), and exosomes may play a major role. Here, we acquired a special kind of MSCs from the bone marrow of surgically resected tissue from the ...

Low fluid shear stress promotes chondrocyte proliferation and extracellular matrix secretion by downregulating mir-143-3p and activating the ERK5/KLF4 signaling pathway [PDF]
Low fluid shear stress (FSS, ≤ 2 dyn/cm2) has been shown to exert protective effects on chondrocytes, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which FSS promotes chondrocyte proliferation and

Neuropeptide Y Promotes mTORC1 to Regulate Chondrocyte Proliferation and Hypertrophy.
Peripheral neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been reported to regulate bone metabolism and homeostasis, however its potential roles in growth plate chondrogenesis remain unclear.

Function and regulation of transforming growth factor β1 signalling in antler chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. [PDF]
Chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation are crucial for endochondral ossification, but their regulatory mechanism remains unclear. The present study aimed to determine the physiological function of TGFβ1 signalling in the proliferation and ...

TGF-β1 promoted chondrocyte proliferation by regulating Sp1 through MSC-exosomes derived miR-135b. [PDF]
To investigate the molecular mechanism of TGF-β1 in regulating chondrocyte proliferation through MSC-exosomes, an osteoarthritis (OA) rat model was established. Cartilage degradation was quantified by using OARSI score. TGF-β1 was used to stimulate MSCs.

LncRNA CASC2 is up-regulated in osteoarthritis and participates in the regulation of IL-17 expression and chondrocyte proliferation and apoptosis. [PDF]
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) CASC2 is a key player in cancer biology. Our new findings showed that both lncRNA CASC2 and IL-17 were up-regulated in plasma of osteoarthritis patients.

Effects of Bakuchiol on chondrocyte proliferation via the PI3K-Akt and ERK1/2 pathways mediated by the estrogen receptor for promotion of the regeneration of knee articular cartilage defects. [PDF]
Cartilaginous tissue degradation occurs because of the lack of survival of chondrocytes. Here, we ascertained whether bakuchiol (BAK) has the capability of activating chondrocyte proliferation.
