BMP2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2) is known to activate unfolded protein response
signaling molecules, including XBP1S and ATF6. However, the influence on XBP1S and
ATF6 in BMP2-induced chondrocyte differentiation has not yet been elucidated. In this study,
we demonstrate that BMP2 mediates mild endoplasmic reticulum stress-activated ATF6 and
directly regulates XBP1S splicing in the course of chondrogenesis. XBP1S is differentially
expressed during BMP2-stimulated chondrocyte differentiation and exhibits prominent …
