Inhibition of interleukin-1α-induced cartilage oligomeric matrix protein degradation in bovine articular cartilage by matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors: Potential role for matrix metalloproteinases in the generation of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein fragments in arthritic synovial fluid

Abstract: Objective.To determine whether matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) to produce fragments similar to those found in synovial fluid (SF) from patients with arthritis.Methods. COMP fragments were generated in vitro by treating (a) bovine articular cartilage with interleukin-la (IL-la), (b) purified bovine COMP with MMPs, and (c) articular cartilage with MMPs. The fragments generated in each case were analyzed by Western blot, using an antibody to the C-terminal hepta… Show more

“…These enzymes degrade matrix constituents, thereby affecting tissue integrity. To study the release of cartilage components, particularly chondroadherin, under the influence of activated endogenous proteinases, we treated cartilage with APMA to activate matrix metalloproteinases (26). Chondroadherin was indeed among the molecules released to the medium in buffers that show little extraction on their own.…”

“…65,66 A member of the ADAMTS family, ADAMTS-4, has also been reported to cleave COMP in vitro. 67 Despite these findings, the exact role of MMPs in COMP degradation has yet to be confirmed by in vivo animal studies.…”

“…cartilage, contains pro-MMPs, which can be activated (6,31). In view of the findings in the present work it is possible that anionic domains with tyrosine sulfate residues may serve to sequester these proenzymes to specific structures in the tissue.…”
