Abstract We investigated the role of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-a the second messenger C2-ceramide and protein kinase R PKR in bovine articular cartilage degradation. Bovine articular cartilage explants were stimulated with C2-ceramide or TNF-a for 24 hours. To inhibit the activation of PKR 2-aminopurine was added to duplicate cultures. Matrix metalloproteinase MMP expression and activation in the medium were analysed by gelatin zymography proteoglycan release by the dimethylmethylene blue assay and cell viability by the Cytotox 96 assay. C2-ceramide treatment of cartilage explants resulted in a significant release of both pro- and active MMP-2 into the medium. Small increases were also seen with TNF-a treatment. Incubation of explants with 2-aminopurine before TNF-a or C2-ceramide treatment resulted in a marked reduction in expression and activation of both MMP-2 and MMP-9. TNF-a and C2-ceramide significantly increased proteoglycan release into the medium which was also inhibited by cotreatment with 2-aminopurine. A loss of cell viability
