The Effect of Protease Inhibitors on the Induction of Osteoarthritis-Related Biomarkers in Bovine Full-Depth Cartilage Explants

OBJECTIVE: The specific degradation of type II collagen and aggrecan by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, -13 and ADAMTS-4 and -5 (aggrecanase-1 and -2) in the cartilage matrix is a critical step in pathology of osteoarthritis (OA).
