Chondrocytes extracted from adult articular cartilage and grown in primary culture express connexin 43 (Cx43) and form functional gap junctions capable of sustaining the propagation of intercellular Ca2+ waves. Degradation of articular cartilage is a characteristic feature of arthritic diseases and is associated to increased levels of Interleukin-1 (IL-1) in the synovial fluid. We have examined the effects of IL-1 on gap junctional communication in cultured rabbit articular chondrocytes. Incubation with IL-1 potentiated the transmission of intercellular Ca2+ waves and the intercellular transfer of Lucifer yellow. The stimulatory effect was accompanied by a dose-dependent increase in the expression of Cx43 and by an enhanced Cx43 immunostaining at sites of cell-to-cell contact. IL-1 stimulation induced a dose-dependent increase of cytosolic Ca2+ and activates protein tyrosine phosphorylation. IL-1-dependent up-regulation of Cx43 could be prevented by intracellular Ca2+ chelation but not by inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases, suggesting a crucial role of cytosolic Ca2+ in regulating the expression of Cx43. IL-1 is one of the most potent cytokines that promotes cartilage catabolism; its modulation of intercellular communication represents a novel mechanism by which proinflammatory mediators regulate the activity of cartilage cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1359\/jbmr.2000.15.9.1669","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,27]],"date-time":"2006-04-27T03:25:41Z","timestamp":1146108341000},"page":"1669-1677","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Interleukin-1\u03b2
