Abstract excerpt
Isolated chondrocytes grown on plastic gradually lose their differentiated phenotype upon subculturing. This dedifferentiation is manifested by an altered production of extracellular-matrix molecules (ECM): e.g., the cartilage specific type II collagen is replaced by types I and III. We have studied the regulation of ECM gene expression in dedifferentiating human and murine fetal chondrocytes. Nuclear extracts...
