Continuous Cyclic Mechanical Tension Increases Ank Expression in Endplate Chondrocytes Through the TGF-β1 and p38 Pathway
The normal ANK protein has a strong influence on anti-calcification. It is known that TGF-β1 is also able to induce extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (ePPi) elaboration via the TGF-β1-induced ank gene expression and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling acts as a downstream effec...
