Abstract
⺠Harmine was identified to be an inducer of CCN2 that promotes cartilage generation. ⺠Harmine increased the expression of aggrecan, collagen type II and SOX-9 genes. ⺠Harmine induced chondrogenesis of ATDC5 cells in micromass cultures. ⺠Harmine rescued TNFα-induced decrease in expression of CCN2 and cartilage markers.
