| Abstract |
Endochondral ossification is a complex process involving the formation of cartilage and the subsequent replacement by mineralized bone. Although the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes are strictly regulated, the molecular mechanisms involved are not completely understood. Here, we show that a divergent-type homeobox gene, hematopoietically expressed homeobox gene (HEX), is expressed in mouse chondrogenic cell line ATDC5. The expression of Hex protein drastically increased during differentiation. The chondrogenic differentiation-enhanced expression of Hex protein was also observed in chondrocytes in the tibia of embryonic day 15.5 (E15.5) mouse embryos. The localization of Hex protein in the chondrocytes of the tibia changed in association with maturation; namely, there was Hex protein in the cytoplasm near the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in resting chondrocytes, which moved to the nucleus in prehypertrophic chondrocytes, and thereafter entered the ER in hypertrophic chondrocytes. These results suggest Hex expression and subcellular localization are associated with chondrocyte maturation. |
