| Description | Journal: Journal of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the potency to differentiate into chondrocytes, osteocytes and adipocytes. Corin is a cardiac protease that activates the natriuretic peptides, thereby regulating blood volume and pressure. In addition to the heart, corin gene upregulation was reported in bone marrow- and adipose tissue-derived MSCs that underwent osteogenic differentiation. To date, the biological significance of corin expression in MSC differentiation remains unknown. In this study we isolated and cultured human bone marrow-derived MSCs that were capable of undergoing chondrogenic, osteogenic and adipogenic lineage differentiation. By reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunostaining, we found that corin expression was upregulated when these MSCs underwent chondrogenic, osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. The upregulation of corin expression was most significant in the cells undergoing chondrogenic lineage differentiation. Silencing corin gene expression by small hairpin RNA in the MSCs inhibited chondrogenic, but not osteogenic and adipogenic, differentiation. These results suggest a novel function of corin in MSC differentiation and chondrocyte development. |
