Objective. To determine whether matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) to produce fragments similar to those found in synovial fluid (SF) from patients with arthritis. Methods. COMP fragments were generated in vitro by treating (a) bovine articular carti
