Figure 1. A) KD of viperin expression by RNAi results in a 90% reduction of Col2a1 gene expression at day 7 in ATDC5 chondrogenic differentiation. Expression of the hypertrophic markers Col10a1 and Mef2c was not affected; skewing cells towards hypertrophy. KD of viperin also results in increased ER stress indicated by increased expression of Chop. B) Moreover, viperin KD resulted in 32% reduced protein secretion (ATDC5 d4).
