| Research Abstract |
CCN2 is best known as a promoter of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation among the CCN family members. However, little is known concerning roles of the other CCN member, CCN3 in chondrocytes. These two proteins consists of 4 conserved modules that are highly interactive with a number of biomolecules. In the present study, we demonstrated that CCN3 protein promotes early chondrogenesis based on the following observations: 1) CCN3 was expressed in the embryonic limb mesenchymal cells, whereas, CCN2 was highly expressed in differentiated chondrocytes. 2) Exogenous recombinant CCN3 promoted the proliferation of limb mesenchymal cells in plane culture, and induced proteoglycan accumulation in micromass cultures. 3) By Ccn3 knockdown, chondrogenesis was inhibited in cultures. In addition, we found that extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 pathway was involved in the CCN3-mediated modification of mesenchymal cell and chondroblast activities.
