Activation of NF-κB/p65 Facilitates Early Chondrogenic Differentiation during Endochondral Ossification

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: NF-κB/p65 has been reported to be involved in regulation of chondrogenic differentiation. However, its function in relation to key chondrogenic factor Sox9 and onset of chondrogenesis during endochondral ossification is poorly understood. We hypothesized that the early onset of chondrogenic differentiation is initiated by transient NF-κB/p65 signaling. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The role of...
