Expression of a Constitutively Active Form of <i>Hck</i> in Chondrocytes Activates Wnt and Hedgehog Signaling Pathways, and Induces Chondrocyte Proliferation in Mice

Runx2 is required for chondrocyte proliferation and maturation. In the search of Runx2 target genes in chondrocytes, we found that Runx2 up-regulated the expression of hematopoietic cell kinase (<i>Hck)</i>, which is a member of the Src tyrosine kinase family, in chondrocytes, that <i...
