This may be significant because enhanced or premature chondrocyte cell death may trigger subsequent events that accelerate degradation of cartilage.( 17 ) It was shown in articular chondrocytes that TNF-α-induced apoptosis was associated with increased expression of genes related to matrix degradation such as MMP and macr
