Abstract excerpt
Articular chondrocytes respond to extracellular influences by activating signaling pathways which change gene expression. One key signal transduction pathway of inflammatory joint disease is mediated by the p38MAPK which is known to be activated by the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta. We used the p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580 and a whole human genome microarray in an in vitro inflammation model to identify genes...
