| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As a function-specific receptor for CCN proteins, we identified a growth-specific receptor for CCN2. Among 4 individual modules of CCN2, IGFBP and TSP1 modules showed angiogenesis activity. IGFBP-TSP1 dual module-connected recombinant protein showed strong angiogenesis activity. The TSP1 module also showed fibrogenic activity. Low Intensity Pulsed Ultra Sound (LIPUS) increased expression of ECM components such as aggrecan and collagen type II in chondrocytes through induction of CCN2 production. This function of LIPUS was mediated through a Ca ion channel TRPV4. In addition, we found that CCN3 protected progression of osteoarthiritis in an animal model and that CCN4 promoted chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
