Upregulated endonuclease Regnase-1 suppresses osteoarthritis by forming a negative feedback loop of catabolic signaling in chondrocytes

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2021
Background Ribonucleases (RNases) play central roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA stability. Our preliminary results revealed that the endonuclease Regnase-1 is specifically upregulated in osteoarthritic chondrocytes. We herein explored

Mechanical forces couple bone matrix mineralization with inhibition of angiogenesis to limit adolescent bone growth

Nature Communications, 2022
The study shows that mechanical forces trigger secretion of the extracellular matrix protein dentin matrix protein 1 from osteoblasts. This transforms bone growth-promoting blood vessels into a quiescent subtype to limit bone growth at the end of ...
