Abstract
Our data show that canonical Wnt signaling is able to skew TGF-β signaling towards dominant signaling via the ALK1/Smad 1/5/8 pathway, which reportedly leads to chondrocyte hypertrophy. In this way canonical Wnts and WISP1, which we found to be increased during experimental osteoarthritis, may contribute to osteoarthritis pathology.
