Loss of function mutation in progressive ankylosis (Ank) gene causes aberrant mineralization and acquisition of osteoblast-like-phenotype by annulus fibrosus cells in the intervertebral disc
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Transcriptomic analysis of nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosus (AF) tissues from intervertebral discs of 3-month-old mice with loss of function mutation of Ank gene. Regulator of extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate, Ank is essential for preventing ectopic mineralization in the extracellular matrices, maintaining the health of the intervertebral disc of mice. We examined the transcriptomic profiles of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus cells in control and Ank mutant mice using microarrays.
