In this study, we have tried to establish the system to evaluate the effect of novel therapeutic drugs on skeletal dysplasia, such as achondroplasia, by using iPS cells. Achondroplasia chondrocyte proliferation, differentiation and matrix production is suppressed by the constitutive activation of FGFR3. Then, we performed the cartilage cells induction method to achondroplasia-derived iPS cells. In the process, we did assessment of the effectiveness of CNP by adding CNP. Comparing the CNP added group and the non-addition group showed a certain efficacy in the expression of genes associated with cartilage differentiation. We will keep trying to investigate the effects of CNP on the iPS cells derived from achondroplasia patient.
