, A rat model with cartilage chondrocyte injury was established using interleukin-1β (IL-1β) to investigate the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb) on matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) expression. Rat chondrocytes were extracted and randomly divided into six groups: control group, IL-1β (model) group, IL-1β + dexamethasone group, and IL-1β + EGb group (both high and low dose groups). Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to detect MMP-3 expression.
