Intermittent Cyclic Mechanical Tension‐induced Down‐regulation of Ectonucleotide Pyrophosphatase Phosphodiesterase 1 Gene Expression is Mainly Dependent on TGF‐β1 in End‐plate Chondrocytes

ConclusionIt was found that down‐regulation of ENPP‐1 gene expression induced by ICMT is likely dependent on TGF‐β1 in end‐plate chondrocytes.
