Monocyte/macrophage polypeptides (monokines) alter the properties of synovial cells. This interaction could explain some of the properties of the inflamed synovium in rheumatic disease. Only recently has it been possible to test the action of purified monokines on the target synovial cells. We repor

Important constituents of extracellular matrix are collagen, fibronectin, hyaluronan, and various types of proteoglycans, such as versican, perlecan, decorin, and biglycan. Remodeling of extracellular matrix occurs continuously and is affected by various cytokines. The aim of this study was to inves
It has previously been demonstrated that interleukin-1 (IL-I) is expressed in a variety of fibroblast cell lines. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms involved in the regulation of IL-1 p production by cultured human dermal fibroblasts. We have shown that IL-I p is constitutively expressed
Interleukin 1 and tumor necrosis factor-a additively increase the levels of granulocyte-macrophage and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (CSF) mRNA in human fibroblasts\* Recombinant interleukin (IL) 1 p and tumor necrosis factorkachectin (TNF-a) induce, usually within 2 h, a dose-dependent incr
