| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Multiple hereditary exostosis (MHE) is autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple osteochondroma formation and deformities of extremities due to osteochondroma formation. To determine the function of heparin sulfate in the perichondrium, we have generated Prx1-CreER; Ext1flox/flox mice (Cre mice) by breeding the Prx1-CreER transgenic mice with the Ext1flox/flox mice. EXT1 expression was deleted in the perichondrium due to tamoxifen injection after birth, and Cre mice exhibited the osteochondroma formation in the extremities.
