Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is known that PAMPS gel induces the spontaneous regeneration of damaged cartilage, however the detailed molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we identified integrins as PAMPS-binding proteins and found that culturing on PAMPS gel drastically changed the activation of p38 MAP kinase in chondrocytic murine ATDC5 cell. It was also found that the gel enhanced the gene expression related with the extracellular matrix, and secreted extracellular matrix were accumulated in the gel, which enhanced the chondrogenic differentiation of ATDC5 cells cultured on PAMPS gel. These results suggest that PAMPS gel not only alters gene expression via intracellular signaling molecules, such as integrins and MAP kinases, but also functions as a molecular reservoir to accumulate the factors that promote cartilage differentiation.
