MMP13 is enriched in mature chondrocytes and considered a prime cause of ECM degradation in the osteoarthritic articular cartilage in temporomandibular joints. We asked whether surviving stress to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) would upregulate transcription of MMP13, and if so, whether a cross-talk would exist between surviving ER stress and p38 MAPK pathways. Using C28/I2 chondrocyte cell line, ER stress was induced by thapsigargin and tunicamycin and upregulation of phosphorylated eIF2alpha and ATF4 protein was observed. Both thapsigargin and tunicamycin elevated the mRNA level of MMP13 and phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. Thapsigargin-induced MMP13 mRNA upregulation was significantly suppressed by SB203580, while its upregulation by tunicamycin was completely attenuated by SB203580. Those results support that homeostasis of chondrocytes is affected by the surviving ER stress through p38 MAPK pathways, suggesting a potential role of ER stress in joint diseases such as osteoarthritis.
