Contrasting effects of fluoroquinolone antibiotics on the expression of the collagenases, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1 and -13, in human tendon-derived cells [PDF]
, 2005 Fluoroquinolone antibiotics may cause tendon pain and rupture. We reported previously that the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin potentiated interleukin (IL)-1ß-stimulated expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-3 and MMP-1 in human tendon-derived ...
