Figure 8. The relationship was described among PAR2 and OA.

Figure 8

PAR2 could activate MAPK signaling pathway, and then activate NF-κB signaling pathway, which cause the inhibition of chondrocytes proliferation, increase of inflammation factor (IL-1β, Cox-2 and TNF-α), and increase of matrix protease (MMP-1 and MMP-13). Those promote the progression of OA.
