Inhibition of BATF/JUN transcriptional activity protects against osteoarthritic cartilage destruction
5 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The basic leucine zipper transcription factor, ATF-like (BATF), a member of the Activator protein-1 family, promotes transcriptional activation or repression, depending on the interacting partners (JUN-B or C-JUN). Here, we investigated whether the BATF/JUN complex exerts regulatory effects on catabolic and anabolic gene expression in chondrocytes and contributes to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis...
