Blocking chondrocyte hypertrophy in conditional <i>Evc</i> knockout mice does not modify osteoarthritis progression

2021-10-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Chondrocytes in osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage acquire a hypertrophic-like phenotype, where Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is pivotal. Hh overexpression causes OA-like cartilage lesions, whereas its downregulation prevents articular destruction in mouse models. Mutations in EVC and EVC2 genes disrupt Hh signaling, and are responsible for the Ellis-van Creveld syndrome skeletal dys...
