Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that hypoxia and interleukin-1 (IL-1)beta played a substantial role in gene expressions of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc cells. The TMJ disc cells were isolated from rabbit TMJ, and cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM). The experiment was performed for 24 h in hypoxic (2% O2) and IL-1beta stimulated...
