Continuous cyclic mechanical tension increases ank expression in endplate chondrocytes through the TGF-β1 and p38 pathway
The normal ANK protein has a strong influence on anti-calcification. It is known that <em>TGF-β1</em> is also able to induce extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (ePPi) elaboration via the TGF-β1-induced <em>ank</em> gene expression and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (...
