## Abstract Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) is a matricellular protein induced by transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β and intimately involved with tissue repair and overexpressed in various fibrotic conditions. We previously showed that keratinocytes in vitro downregulate TGF‐β‐induced e
## ) 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
## Abstract ## Objective To determine whether the fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin, which can cause tendon pain and rupture in a proportion of treated patients, affects the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in human tendon‐derived cells in culture. ## Methods Cell cultures w
Objective. The cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolite, 15-deoxy-⌬ 12,14 -prostaglandin J 2 (15d-PGJ 2 ), has been reported to inhibit the expression of a number of genes involved in the pathogenesis of arthritis. However, its effects on COX-2 remain controversial. We undertook this study to investigate the
