Interleukin-1b converting enzyme (ICE) processes the inactive proIL-1b to the proinflammatory mature IL-1b. ICE belongs to a family of cysteine proteases that have been implicated in apoptosis. To address the biological functions of ICE, we generated ICE-deficient mice through gene targeting technol
Objective. To study the expression and production of interleukin-1-converting enzyme (ICE) in human normal and osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage and synovium, quantitate the level of ICE in OA chondrocytes, and examine the relationship between the topographic distribution of ICE, interleukin-1 (IL-1)
## ) is a potent cytokine that stimulates interstitial collagenase-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1; MMP-1). In this study, we compared the mechanism(s) by which IL-1b induces collagenase gene expression in two very different cells, normal human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs) and an aggressive breast ca
