The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Oncostatin M in combination with interleukin-l (IL-1) induced a rapid and reproducible release of collagen from bovine nasal cartilage in culture. This release was accompanied by a high collagenolytic activity and low or absent tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 activity in the culture medium. Transforming growth factor-beta 1 was able to block this release of collagen from the tissue, and reduce the expression and secretion of collagenases whilst maintaining TIMP-1 levels from bovine nasal chondrocytes, This study shows for the first time that TGF-beta 1 can protect cartilage collagen from destruction.
