Sdc4 deletion perturbs intervertebral disc matrix homeostasis and promotes early osteopenia in the aging mouse spine
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Transcriptional analysis of 6-month-old primary nucleus pulposus (NP) mouse disc tissues from wild-type (WT) and SDC4 KO mice, which harbor deletions of exon 2 to part of exon 5 that endcodes the N-terminal coding region. Breeder mice were provided by Dr. Michael Simons. SDC4's regulation of cytokine-dependent activation of the aggrecanse ADAMTS-5 is linked with inflammation-associated intervertebral disc degeneration. In this study, we aim to establish the role of SDC4 in matrix homeostasis under the context of aging.
