| Abstract | induced a 10 fold or greater upregulation of several proinflammatory genes, including cytokines Il-1b, Il-6, Il-8, Il-12, Il-17, and mediators, COX-2, iNOS, MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-4, MMP-7, MMP-9, MMP-13. However, these genes were expressed at negligible to very low density in unstimulated control chondrocytes. Cluster analysis of chondrocytic genes in response to low/physiological DTF showed that these signals markedly regulate genes associated with chondrocyte growth and proliferation, BMP-2, SOX-9, GDF-5, TGF-b, BMP-4, BMP-7, IGF-1, IGF-2; genes associated with cartilage extracellular matrix, proteoglycans and collagens, apoptosis, cell cycle associated genes, signaling cascades, MAP kinases, NF-kB cascade, SMADs, and intracellular structural proteins (actin, tubulin, vimentin, etc), adhesion molecules. Conclusions: The results demonstrate that mechanical signals dynamically cause complex magnitude-dependent gene regulation. Certain gene clusters or representative genes are distinct, whereas others overlap in response to low or high magnitudes of DTF. This differential magnit�pendent gene regulation may play a key role to ultimately allow the remarkable and beneficial/detrimental effects of mechanical signals that are realized at cartilage level.
