Brief Report: Importance of SOX8 for In Vitro Chondrogenic Differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells
21 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor SOX9 is believed to be the master regulator of chondrogenesis. SOX8 is another SOX group E transcription factor with a high degree of homology to SOX9. Here, we demonstrate that SOX8 mRNA levels decrease during in vitro dedifferentiation of human articular chondrocytes and increase during chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells. Knockdown of SOX9 reduced the expression...
