Primary cultures of rheumatoid synovialcells produce large amounts of metalloproteinase mRNA and proteins. We cloned a cDNA for human stromelysin from a rheumatoid synovial cell cDNA library, and we used the cDNA to isolate the gene for human stromelysin and a related gene, stromelysin 2. We sequenced parts of the genes and found that both are contained on~ 14 kilobase pairs of DNA. Using an exon-containing fragment of the stromelysin 2 genomic clone as a specific probe in Northern blot analysis, we demonstrate the differential expression of stromelysin and stromelysin 2 in rheumatoid synovialcells, human foreskin fibroblasts, and rabbit synovial fibroblasts. In addition, using chimeric constructs of the stromelysin promoter linked to the bacterial gene chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT), we show that the elements required for the tumor promoter phorbolmyristate acetate (PMA), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and interleukin 10 (IL-10) induction are contained on a 307 base pair fragment which includes~ 270 base pairs (bp) of 5'-flanking DNA. The cloning of the human stromelysin and stromelysin 2 genes, the documentation of their differential expression, and the identification of transcriptional regulatory regions in the stromelysin gene will facilitate the study of me-talloproteinase gene expressionin normal processes andin diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.Stromelysin is a neutral metalloproteinase that has the ability to degrade non-collagen components of connective tissue including proteoglycans, fibronectin, and laminin (Okada et al., 1986). Collagenase is a related metalloproteinase with the singular ability to initiate breakdown of the interstitial col-lagens (Harris, 1985). The~ 50% homology between the human collagenase (Brinckerhoff et al., 1987; Whitham et al.,
