Catabolic cytokines disrupt the circadian clock and the expression of clock-controlled genes in cartilage via an NFкB-dependent pathway
27 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To define how the catabolic cytokines (Interleukin 1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)) affect the circadian clock mechanism and the expression of clock-controlled catabolic genes within cartilage, and to identify the downstream pathways linking the cytokines to the molecular clock within chondrocytes. METHODS: Ex vivo cartilage explants were isolated from the Cry1-luc or PER2::LUC clock...
