## Abstract ## Objective To investigate the effects of prostaglandin D~2~ (PGD~2~) on interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β)–induced matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP‐1) and MMP‐13 expression in human chondrocytes and the signaling pathways involved in these effects. ## Methods Chondrocytes were stimulated with I
Degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential step in tumour invasion and metastasis. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) each have different substrate specificities within the ECM and are important in its degradation. MMP activity is dependent on the levels of activated MMP and tis
