| Research Abstract |
1 Expression analysis of novel aggrecanase
RNA was extracted from IL-1 b stimulated chondrosarcoma cells and chondrocytes and the aggrecanase expressions were analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR. When compared with fibroblasts, chondrosarcoma cells and chondrocytes showed higher induction of novel aggrecanase, thus indicating this novel aggrecanase is IL-1 induced specifically in cartilage cells. When chondrosarcoma cells were stimulated with IL-1b and TNFa, novel aggrecanase induced synergistically.
2 Antibody against novel aggrecanase
We raised a polyclonal antibody against novel aggrecanase, and checked its specificity by Western blotting. A novel aggrecanase was induced by IL-1b stimulation by Western blot analysis.
3 KO mouse
We got hetero mice
4 Signal mechanism for novel aggrecanase induction
MAP kinase inhibitor(PD98059,SB203580) were added to IL- 1b stimulated chondrosarcoma cells and the signaling pathway was determined.
