at least part of the matrix breakdown was localized to the immediate vicinity of the cells , as shown by morphological and biochemical studies , although the rate of degradation correlated closely with the secretion of proteinases by various inflammatory stimuli in vivo , by glucocorticoids , prostaglandin e2 or colchicine , or by phagocytosis of latex , zymosan , or cholesterol-albumin complexes in culture was reflected in altered rates of glycoprotein and elastin degradation by the macrophages .
