Research Abstract |
We hypothesized that Gene expression of Btbd7 has an important role in limb formation and chondrogenesis. Chondrogenic differentiation model of mouse chondrocyte progenitor cell revealed that Btbd7, Snail2, and chemokine SDF-1 showed same expression pattern. These genes were transiently upregulated in chondrogenesis process. Therefore, we have driven forward our study focusing on SDF-1. We revealed that SDF-1 was transiently expressed in healing process of cartilage in vivo. In addition, we clarified that chondrogenesis was promoted by using alginate gel with SDF-1.
