Correlation of COL10A1 induction during chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells with demethylation of two CpG sites in the COL10A1 promoter
29 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Human articular chondrocytes do not express COL10A1 and do not undergo hypertrophy except in close vicinity to subchondral bone. In contrast, chondrocytes produced in vitro from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show premature COL10A1 expression and cannot form stable ectopic cartilage transplants, which indicates that they may be phenotypically unstable and not suitable for treatment of articular...
