Open Access Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effects of glucosamine on matrix metalloprotease MMP production on mitogen-activated protein kinase MAPK phosphorylation and on activator protein AP -1 transcription factor activation in human chondrocytes. The human immortalized cell line lbpva55 and healthy human chondrocytes obtained from healthy donors were subjected to challenge with 10 ng ml IL-1P after pretreatment with or 10 mmol l glucosamine. MMP mRNA expression levels were evaluated using quantitative real-time PCR and MMP protein production levels were evaluated in the culture supernatant using ELISA. MAPK phosphorylation was evaluated using Western blotting. AP-1 transcription factor activation was evaluated by measuring AP-1 DNA-binding
