Activation of p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Is Inhibited by Hyaluronan via Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 in Articular Chondrocytes Stimulated With Type II Collagen Peptide

Activation of p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Is Inhibited by Hyaluronan via Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 in Articular Chondrocytes Stimulated With Type II Collagen Peptide

This study examined the activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase with matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) production by a synthetic peptide derived from type II collagen (CB12-II) and its inhibition by high molecular weight hyaluronan (HA) in chondrocytes. When cartilage explants or isola...
