## Abstract Our previous studies showed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are required for the pro‐inflammatory cytokine interleukin‐1β (IL‐1) to induce the activity of the Nuclear transcription Factor‐kappaB (NF‐κB) and the expression of the inducible isoform of the nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) i

## Abstract Expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which leads to the production of nitric oxide (NO), is stimulated by proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) and tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α). Here we report on the roles of nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) and mitogen‐a
## Abstract Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) inhibits matrix synthesis by chondrocytes in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis; however, the underlying signaling pathways are poorly characterized. This study investigated the TNFα‐activated pathways regulating expression of two key components of th
