Abstract
MMP13 (Collagenase 3) is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. In
pathology it is overexpressed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA) and human
carcinomas. It is secreted in its inactive proforms from which it can be activated. The project
studies how MMP13 can degrade/digest the normal femoral head human articular cartilage.
Peptides were separated using reversed phase chromatography coupled on-line with various
mass spectrometry techniques including ion trap, quadropole Time-Of-Flight (Q-TOF) and
triple quadropole (QQQ) instruments. Guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) was used to extract
proteins from the cartilage tissue. Sodium dodecyl sulfate poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis
was used also to give... (More)

proteins from the cartilage tissue. Sodium dodecyl sulfate poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis
was used also to give visualize similarities and differences between the control and the
MMP13 treated sample. MMP13 showed an effect on both media (released proteins from the
cartilage tissue via the buffer solution) and a little effect on the cartilage tissue (pellet). The
main result showed that the tissue sample preparation was critical in order to obtain sufficient
release of proteins. The powderisation of tissue was much better in releasing proteins than
intact tissue plugs probably due to larger contact area and shorter diffusion distance. (Less)
