Phosphate-induced activation of VEGFR2 leads to caspase-9-mediated apoptosis of hypertrophic chondrocytes
Summary: Low circulating phosphate (Pi) leads to rickets, characterized by expansion of the hypertrophic chondrocytes (HCs) in the growth plate due to impaired HC apoptosis. Studies in HCs demonstrate that Pi activates the Raf/MEK/ERK1/2 and mitochondrial apoptotic pathways. To determine how Pi acti...
