Conference item : Abstract

Activation of SMAD2 upon compressive load occurs exclusively in regions of cartilage where matrix stiffness is relatively low

Abstract:

Mechanical force is an important factor affecting the health of articular cartilage and consequently the function of the joint. Work from our lab has identified an important mechanotransducing role for the pericellular matrix (PCM) of cartilage; sequesteringregulatory molecules such as fibroblastic growth factor 2 (FGF2), latent transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). In unloaded cartilage these molecules are held back from the cell surface, but upo...
