Aggravation of ADAMTS and matrix metalloproteinase production and role of ERK1/2 pathway in the interaction of osteoarthritic subchondral bone osteoblasts and articular cartilage chondrocytes -- possible pathogenic role in osteoarthritis.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Degradative enzymes, such as A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), play key roles in development of osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated if crosstalk between subchondral bone osteoblasts (SBO) and articular cartilag...
