Abstract

Expression of chondrocyte-specific genes is regulated by mechanical force. However, despite the progress in identifying the signal transduction cascades that activate expression of mechanoresponsive genes, little is known about the transcription factors that activate transcription of mechanoresponsive genes. The DNA elements that confer mechanoresponsiveness within a cartilage gene promoter have yet to be identified. We have established an experimental system to identify the DNA elements and transcription factors that mediate the mechanoresponse of a promoter to nominal compressive stress in primary human chondrocytes and stem cells in a three-dimensional culture system. Our results demonstrate that the proximal 3 Kb of the human cartilage oligomeric matrix protein promoter is sufficient to mediate a mechanoresponse in human articular chondrocytes and stem cells, and that the magnitude of mechanoresponse correlates to the regulation of the endogenous gene at the RNA and protein level. This information is critical to understanding how mechanical force regulates the transcriptional activation of cartilage genes in three-dimensional culture.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 August 2012.
All research outputs
#20,657,128
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from Tissue Engineering: Part A
#1,400
of 1,842 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#146,076
of 185,641 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tissue Engineering: Part A
#33
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,842 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 185,641 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 52 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
