Catabolic Gene Expression in Chondrocytes
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Transcription factor, RNA binding protein
01
Overview
Catabolic gene expression in chondrocytes refers to the upregulation of genes encoding enzymes and factors responsible for the breakdown of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM). Key genes include MMPs (MMP-1, MMP-13), and ADAMTS-4, which degrade collagen and aggrecan respectively. Regulation is influenced by factors like glucose levels, growth factors (TGFβ, OP-1), and RNA binding proteins. Aberrant catabolic gene expression is a hallmark of osteoarthritis.
