The aim of the study was to determine whether transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) modulates the effects and the receptor expression of interleukin-1 (IL-1) in rabbit articular chondrocytes (RAC).
Collagen, glycosaminoglycan, and collagenase production, together with 125I-labeled IL-1 binding, were analyzed in RAC cultures.
TGF beta reduced both IL-1 effects on matrix metabolism and IL-1 receptor expression.
TGF beta acts as an antagonist of the effects of IL-1 through down-regulation of its receptor expression.
本研究旨在确定转化生长因子β(TGF-β)是否调节白细胞介素-1(IL-1)对兔关节软骨细胞(RAC)的作用及其受体表达。
分析RAC培养物中的胶原蛋白、糖胺聚糖和胶原酶产生情况,以及125I标记的IL-1结合情况。
TGF-β降低了IL-1对基质代谢的作用以及IL-1受体表达。
TGF-β通过下调其受体表达而作为IL-1作用的拮抗剂。
