This analysis demonstrated highly significant enrichment of genes associated with chondrocyte maturation and hypertrophy in the absence of Stat3 (Fig. 6d, f ), while genes such as Sox5/6 that promote proliferation in immature chondrocytes were significantly enriched in control Stat3 fl/fl chondrocytes (Fig. 6e, f ).
← all excerpts
gp130/STAT3 signaling is required for homeostatic proliferation and anabolism in postnatal growth plate and articular chondrocytes.
