Abstract
Collagens 3, 4, 8, 9, and 11 might be new markers for the dedifferentiation of chondrocytes. Collagen 2 might be a marker for the synthetic activity of the cells rather than the dedifferentiation. TGF-β3 and -β4 might influence the dedifferentiation, which is fortified by the expression of TGF-β receptor III. Integrin β1, β5, and α5 might be involved in signal transmission for the dedifferentiation.
