Genetic evidence of the regulatory role of parathyroid hormone–related protein in articular chondrocyte maintenance in an experimental mouse model
23 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) regulates the rate of differentiation of growth chondrocytes and is also expressed in articular chondrocytes. This study tested the hypothesis that PTHrP might have a regulatory role in articular chondrocyte maintenance. METHODS: Control sequences of growth differentiation factor 5 were used to delete PTHrP from articular chondrocytes in the mid-region of...
