CITED2 mediates the cross‐talk between mechanical loading and IL‐4 to promote chondroprotection
19 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis is mediated largely through the actions of proteolytic enzymes such as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 13. The transcriptional regulator CITED2, which suppresses the expression of MMP13 in chondrocytes, is induced by interleukin (IL)-4 in T cells and macrophages, and by moderate mechanical loading in chondrocytes. We tested the hypothesis that CITED2 mediates cross-talk between...
