Chondrodysplasias are hereditary diseases caused by mutations in the components of growth cartilage. Although the unfolded protein response (UPR) has been identified as a key disease mechanism in mouse models, no suitable in vitro system has been reported to analyze the pathology in humans. Here, utilizing human chondrodysplasia-specific iPSCs, we examined the UPR caused by mutations in MATN3 or COL10A1. In growth plate-like structures formed from iPSC-derived sclerotome in vivo, the hypertrophic zone was disrupted, and induced hypertrophic chondrocytes in vitro showed varying levels of ER stress depending on the mutation. Autophagy inducers and chemical chaperones succeeded in reducing ER stress only in some mutants, while transcriptome analysis revealed many mutation-specific changes in genes involved in apoptosis, metabolism, and protein trafficking. In this way, our system has allowed the precise evaluation of the UPR caused by each mutation, opening up new avenues for treatment of individual chondrodysplasia patients.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
