Outline of Final Research Achievements |
IKK family members were highly expressed in the mouse embryonic cartilage and articular cartilage of knee joints of osteoarthritis model mice. Rela, a transcription factor of NF-kB signaling pathway, was translocated from cytoplasm into nuculeus in accordance with cartilage degradation. For in vivo analyses, we generated tamoxifen-inducible conditional knockout mice. Notably, osteoarthritis development was enhanced in homo knockout mice, while it was suppressed in hetero knockout mice.
