| Research Abstract |
A transcription factor SOX9 is a key regulator of cartilage metabolism. Overexpression of SOX9 gene in osteoarthritis(OA) articular cartilage stimulates extracellular matrix synthesis and the expression of extracellular matrix components can be restored to levels similar to those in normal. These results suggest that a drug able to enhance SOX9 gene expression is expected to improve symptoms of OA. We screened for off-label effects of 1, 184 chemical compounds approved by FDA to identify a drug able to enhance SOX9 gene expression by activating the promoter region. Finally, two compounds showed beneficial effects.
