摘要: In order to investigate how alpha2(VI) collagen gene is regulated by inflammatory cytokines in cultured rabbit articular chondrocytes, we examined the effect of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) on this mRNA expression. Polylayer cultures chondrocytes were exposed IL-1beta (0.1, 1, 10 ng/ml). Quantitative detection specific for was carried out reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Furthermore, hyaluronic acid (HA) expression (10 ng/ml) presence HA (0.01, 0.1, 1 mg/ml) with molecular weight 900 kDa. Chondrocytes also (1 weights 200, and 2000 Alpha2(VI) decreased significantly ng/ml IL-1beta. However, addition both or all suppressed these reduced levels. No tendency suppression depend observed. These results suggest that transcriptional activity type VI will be associated reduction cartilage matrix tissue
