Comparison of Kindlin-2 deficiency-stimulated osteoarthritis-like lesions induced by Prg4 versus Aggrecan transgene in mice
31 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Genetically modified mice are the most useful tools for investigating the gene functions in articular cartilage biology and the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. The AggrecanCreERT2 mice are one of the most reported mouse lines used for this purpose. The Prg4 (proteoglycan 4) gene encodes the lubricin protein and is expressed selectively in chondrocytes located at the superficial layer of the articular cartilage....
