Expression of bone morphogenetic proteins, receptors, and tissue inhibitors in human fetal, adult, and osteoarthritic articular cartilage
8 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Coordinate expression of BMPs and their receptors and inhibitors is likely necessary for physiologic BMP regulation and activity. To characterize the expression of such factors in fetal, normal adult, and end-stage osteoarthritic articular cartilage, samples from these sources were analyzed. PCR-amplified sequences (BMPs 1-11), receptors (IA, IB, II), TGF-beta1, TGF-beta2, inhibitors noggin and follistatin,...
