Expression of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase-1 in end-plate chondrocytes with transforming growth factor beta 1 siRNA interference by cyclic mechanical tension.

CONCLUSION: CMT increases the expression of ENPP-1 in end-plate chondrocytes in a manner likely dependent on TGF-β induction by the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.
