Biphasic activation of nuclear factor-kappa B in chondrocyte death induced by interleukin-1beta: The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and phagocyte-type NADPH oxidase through immediate and monocarboxylate transporter-1-mediated late-phase activation of nuclear factor-kappa B

Conclusion We found that MCT-1 contributed to the expression of NOX-2 via late-phase activation of nuclear factor κB in a ROS-dependent manner in cells exposed to IL-1β. Hence, MCT-1 could be a potential target for the treatment of degenerative joint diseases.
