## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinase‐1 (MMP‐1, collagenase‐1) plays a pivotal role in the process of joint destruction in degenerative joint diseases. We have examined the regulation of MMP‐1 production in human chondrocytic HCS‐2/8 cells stimulated by tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α). In response t
Collagenase-3 (matrix metalloproteinase, MMP-13) plays an important role in the degradation of cartilage in pathologic conditions. MMP-13 is elevated in joint tissues in both rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). In addition, inflammation-stimulated synovial fibroblasts are able to rele
