Effects of CCN3 on rat cartilage endplate chondrocytes cultured under serum deprivation in vitro

Abstract: The presence of apoptotic cells and loss of extracellular matrix (ECM) are common characteristics of degenerated cartilage endplates (CEPs). In addition, therapeutic efficacy is hampered by an incomplete understanding regarding the mechanisms underlying CEP homeostasis and degeneration. The CCN proteins have recently emerged as important regulators of cell-ECM interactions, and have been identified as key mediators of nucleus pulposus ECM composition and tissue homeostasis. However, whether CCN3 is associated … Show more

“…CCN3 may regulate apoptosis under conditions of serum deprivation. The presence of this CCN decreased levels of both proteoglycan and collagen, which may mimic the cartilage environment in which no vascularization occurs and thus conditions are somewhat hypoxic [291]. Bone regeneration in mice that lack CCN3 is enhanced [292].…”

“… 168 Other conditions/scenarios, such as high-glucose environments and serum deprivation, also promote apoptosis of cartilage endplate cells via mitochondrial mechanisms. 169 Serum deprivation increased apoptosis of cartilage endplate cells, 170 and this process has been shown to be induced by the mitochondrial intrinsic pathway. 171 However, research on the role of estrogen in these processes warrants further exploration.…”
