Indian hedgehog signaling regulates proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes and is essential for bone formation.

open access: yesGenes & Development, 1999
The mechanisms that control cell proliferation and cell differentiation during morphogenesis of the endochondral skeleton of vertebrates are poorly understood.

Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor-related Protein 1 (LRP1)-mediated Endocytic Clearance of a Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4) FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENCES OF NON-CATALYTIC DOMAINS OF ADAMTS-4 AND ADAMTS-5 IN LRP1 BINDING [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Degradation of the cartilage proteoglycan aggrecan is an early event in the development of osteoarthritis, and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4) and ADAMTS-5 are considered to be the major aggrecan-degrading ...

The emerging chondrocyte channelome [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2010
Chondrocytes are the resident cells of articular cartilage and are responsible for synthesizing a range of collagenous and non-collagenous extracellular matrix macromolecules. Whilst chondrocytes exist at low densities in the tissue (1-10% of the total tissue volume in mature cartilage) they are extremely active cells and are capable of responding to a

MSC-derived exosomes promote proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of chondrocytes via lncRNA-KLF3-AS1/miR-206/GIT1 axis in osteoarthritis

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2018
Background: Exosomes secreted by human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have been shown to promote cartilage regeneration. This study aimed to explore whether exosomal lncRNA-KLF3-AS1 derived from hMSCs can promote chondrocyte proliferation via miR-206 ...

The role of changes in extracellular matrix of cartilage in the presence of inflammation on the pathology of osteoarthritis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that affects various tissues surrounding joints such as articular cartilage, subchondral bone, synovial membrane, and ligaments.

Role of galectin-3 in bone cell differentiation, bone pathophysiology and vascular osteogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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 ...

High glucose upregulates BMAL1 in chondrocytes from macroscopically normal and osteoarthritic human cartilage but this only results in increased collagen synthesis in chondrocytes from macroscopically normal cartilage regions

open access: yesOsteoarthritis and Cartilage Open
Objective: Osteoarthritic (OA) chondrocytes exhibit limited capacity for new collagen synthesis. High glucose promotes collagen I and III production by fibroblasts.

SOX9 governs differentiation stage-specific gene expression in growth plate chondrocytes via direct concomitant transactivation and repression. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2011
Cartilage and endochondral bone development require SOX9 activity to regulate chondrogenesis, chondrocyte proliferation, and transition to a non-mitotic hypertrophic state.

Superoxide dismutase downregulation in osteoarthritis progression and end-stage disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Oxidative stress is proposed as an important factor in osteoarthritis (OA). To investigate the expression of the three superoxide dismutase (SOD) antioxidant enzymes in OA.

Aucubin Protects Chondrocytes Against IL-1β-Induced Apoptosis In Vitro And Inhibits Osteoarthritis In Mice Model

open access: yesDrug Design, Development and Therapy, 2019
Objective Chondrocyte apoptosis has also been strongly correlated with the severity of cartilage damage and matrix depletion in an osteoarthritis (OA) joint.
