Human articular cartilage cultured in the presence of interleukin 1 (IL-1) produced from activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells, exhibits the concomitant release of a latent metalloproteinase and fragments of proteoglycan. The manner in which the activated form of the metalloproteinase degrades proteoglycan subunit and link protein suggests a role for this enzyme in cartilage degradation in vivo. While cartilage cultured in the continuous presence of purified IL-1 shows sustained release of metalloproteinase, tissue cultured in the presence of the total products released by activated mononuclear cells from some individuals showed initial stimulation followed by a decline, suggesting the presence of a modulator of IL-1 action.
