## Abstract ## Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by inflammation and destruction of synovial joints. Fibroblastβlike synoviocytes (FLS) harvested from synovial tissue of patients with RA can invade normal human cartilage in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice and Matrige
## Abstract ## Objective Rheumatoid synovium is characterized by hyperplasia of fibroblastβlike (type B) synoviocytes (FLS), infiltration with mononuclear leukocytes, and tissue hypoxia. Although the latter is well documented, it has received little attention in dissection of the biochemical event
## Abstract ## Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial hyperplasia is related in part to a resistance to apoptosis exhibited by fibroblastβlike synoviocytes (FLS). Since hypoxia is a regulator of apoptosis, and since RA synovium is hypoxic, we conducted this study to examine the effects of hy
