Isoliquiritigenin Inhibits IL-1β-Induced Production of Matrix Metalloproteinase in Articular Chondrocytes

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2018
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major joint disease in which inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a pivotal role. Isoliquiritigenin has been reported to have anti-inflammation activity. In this study, the effect

Expressions of insulin-like growth factor-1, interleukin-1β, and matrix metalloproteinase-13 in patients with knee osteoarthritis and their associations with the severity

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine
A key factor in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis is an imbalance in cytokines, favoring proinflammatory activity. This study aimed to explore the expressions of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), interleukin-1β (IL-β) and matrix metalloproteinase-13
