Popis: This study was done to identify agents that can inhibit interleukin 1 (IL1)-induced stromelysin biosynthesis and to gain insight into the mechanism of IL1 action. For this purpose, various agents known to modulate calcium-dependent signal transduction pathway were evaluated in rabbit synovial fibroblast (RSF) cultures. Only the conditioned medium from RSF treated with the intracellular calcium antagonist TMB-8 (8-(N, N-diethylamino)-octyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate hydrochloride) had significantly lower proteoglycan-degrading metalloproteinase activity than controls. Biosynthetic labeling, immunoprecipitation and immunohistochemical studies, using a polyclonal antibody against rabbit stromelysin, demonstrated that TMB-8 inhibited synthesis stromelysin, the proteoglycan-degrading matrix metalloproteinase. Further evaluation of the TMB-8 effect revealed that the compound had no effect on secretion and that it was not acting by preventing activation of the proenzyme or by inhibiting the enzyme activity. These ...
