Kartogenin induces the selective differentiation of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into chondrocytes.
Kartogenin induces the selective differentiation of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into chondrocytes. Kartogenin binds to filamin A, and disrupts the specific interaction between filamin A and CBFβ (core-binding factor β subunit). Apparently, kartogenin induces chondrogenesis by regulating the nuclear localization of CBFβ.
Kartogenin is a small heterocyclic compound. It is involved in regulating runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1), which plays an important role in chondrocyte proliferation and survival.
