Tenascin-C induces inflammatory mediators and matrix degradation in osteoarthritic cartilage

BACKGROUND: Tenascin-C (TN-C) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that is involved in tissue injury and repair processes. We analyzed TN-C expression in normal and osteoarthritic (OA) human cartilage, and evaluated its capacity to induce inflammatory and catabolic mediators in chondrocytes in vi...
