Current Topics in Pharmacological Research on Bone Metabolism: Promyelotic Leukemia Zinc Finger (PLZF) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α-Stimulated Gene 6 (TSG-6) Identified by Gene Expression Analysis Play Roles in the Pathogenesis of Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament

Abstract.: To understand the molecular pathogenesis of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine (OPLL), an ectopic bone formation disease, we performed cDNA microarray analysis on cultured ligament cells from OPLL patients to understand the molecular pathogenesis of OPLL. We...
