Abstract excerpt
Three clonal cell lines (MMR14, MMR17, and MMR32) were established from the costal cartilage derived from p53-/- mice. Expression profiles of cartilage-related molecules in MMR14 and MMR17 were compatible with those in cells of the hypertrophic zone. Prolonged in vitro culture induced the expression of calcification-related genes in both cell lines, but calcified nodules were observed only in MMR14. The...
