| Research Abstract |
For establishment of a fluorescence monitoring system to detect hypertrophic differentiation of chondrocytes, we analyzed the promoter regions of the representative hypertrophic marker genes including COL10A1, VEGF and MMP13, and indentified the core enhancers in these genes. We constructed the reporter vectors by ligating the tandem-repeated core enhancers, the basal promoter sequences and fluorescent proteins, and lentivirally introduced them into ATDC5 cells. We performed the expression cloning by these reporter cells, and identified several positive clones which were still under analyses.
