The distinct role of the Runx proteins in chondrocyte differentiation and intervertebral disc degeneration: Findings in murine models and in human disease
29 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Runx2 is a transcription factor that regulates chondrocyte differentiation. This study was undertaken to address the role of the different Runx proteins (Runx1, Runx2, or Runx3) in chondrocyte differentiation using chondrocyte-specific Runx-transgenic mice, and to study the importance of the QA domain of Runx2, which is involved in its transcriptional activation. METHODS: Runx expression was analyzed...
