## Abstract ## Objective Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) are potent anabolic factors in adult articular chondrocytes. In this study, we investigated whether intracellular inhibitors of BMP and TGFβ signaling, inhibitory Smad6 (I‐Smad6) and I‐Smad7, are expr
## Abstract ## Objective To explore the modulation of 5‐lipoxygenase–activating protein (FLAP) and 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LOX) expression in human osteoarthritic (OA) chondrocytes, their relative implications in leukotriene B~4~ (LTB~4~) production, the effect of different factors on this system, and t
Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b1) is a potent negative regulator of cell growth that transduces signals through interactions with type I and II receptors. Abnormal expression and mutational alterations of these receptors have been observed in several human malignancies. In this study, we investi
## Abstract ## Objective To compare gene expression in normal and osteoarthritic (OA) human chondrocytes using microarray technology. Of the novel genes identified, we selected follistatin, a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist, and investigated its expression/regulation as well as that of
