Canonical Wnt signaling plays a crucial role in regulating MSC chondrogenic differentiation, but the mechanism remains controversial. Some studies suggest inhibition of this signaling pathway promotes MSC chondrogenesis, while others support activation for the same purpose.
Canonical Wnt signaling regulation is essential for controlling stemness and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, the mechanism through which canonical Wnt-dependent MSC lineage commitment leads to chondrogenesis is controversial. Some studies hypothesize that inhibition of canonical Wnt signaling induces MSC chondrogenic differentiation, while others support that the pathway should be activated to achieve MSC chondrogenesis. The purpose of the present review is to analyze data from recent studies to elucidate parameters regarding the role of canonical Wnt signaling in MSC chondrogenic differentiation.
