Runx2 inhibits chondrocyte proliferation and hypertrophy through its expression in the perichondrium
Article Abstract:
A study was carried out to identify transcriptional basis for the inhibition of chondrocyte maturation by perichondrium where Runx2 controls expression of fgf18, a negative regulator of chondrocyte maturation. It was shown that Runx2 fulfills antagonistic functions during chondrogenesis, which may help regulate bone formation.
