SFMBT2 positively regulates SOX9 and chondrocyte proliferation
SRY‑box 9 (SOX9) is the master regulator of the chondrocyte phenotype, which is essential for differentiating chondrogenic mesenchymal condensations into chondrocytes, and is involved in regulating every stage of chondrocyte differentiation. SOX9 deletion in chondrocytes at the late stages of cartilage development results in decreased chondrocyte ...

Hippo signaling controls organ size and tissue regeneration in many organs, but its roles in chondrocyte differentiation and bone repair remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that Yap1, an effector of Hippo pathway inhibits skeletal development, postnatal

Role of galectin-3 in bone cell differentiation, bone pathophysiology and vascular osteogenesis [PDF]
Galectin-3 is expressed in various tissues, including the bone, where it is considered a marker of chondrogenic and osteogenic cell lineages. Galectin-3 protein was found to be increased in the differentiated chondrocytes of the metaphyseal plate ...

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 ...

Bushen Tongluowan promotes chondrocyte proliferation through multi-gene regulation
Traditional Chinese orthopedics has a long history and excellent clinical effects in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). Bushen Tongluowan (BSTLW) is a representative prescription based on ''kidney governing bones'' theory in Traditional Chinese ...

Distinct metabolic programs induced by TGF-β1 and BMP2 in human articular chondrocytes with osteoarthritis [PDF]
Objectives: Cellular energy metabolism is important for the function of all tissues, including cartilage. Recent studies indicate that superficial and deep subpopulations of articular chondrocytes (ACs) have distinct metabolic profiles.

TAZ is required for chondrogenesis and skeletal development
Chondrogenesis is a major contributor to skeletal development and maintenance, as well as bone repair. Transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) is a key regulator of osteogenesis and adipogenesis, but how TAZ regulates chondrogenesis and ...

Perichondrial progenitor cells promote proliferation and chondrogenesis of mature chondrocytes [PDF]
AbstractAutologous chondrocytes (C cells) are effective sources of cell therapy for engineering cartilage tissue to repair chondral defects, such as degenerative arthritis. The expansion of cells with C cell characteristics has become a major challenge due to inadequate donor sites and poor proliferation of mature C cells.

Global Gene Expression Analysis Identifies Age-Related Differences in Knee Joint Transcriptome during the Development of Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis in Mice. [PDF]
Aging and injury are two major risk factors for osteoarthritis (OA). Yet, very little is known about how aging and injury interact and contribute to OA pathogenesis.

Proliferation and differentiation potential of chondrocytes from osteoarthritic patients [PDF]
AbstractAutologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT) has been shown, in long-term follow-up studies, to be a promising treatment for the repair of isolated cartilage lesions. The method is based on an implantation of in vitro expanded chondrocytes originating from a small cartilage biopsy harvested from a non-weight-bearing area within the joint.
