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

## Objective: To investigate the regulation of expression of the angiogenic cytokine vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) in rheumatoid arthritis (ra), in order to determine whether new blood vessel formation could be a potential therapeutic target in ra. ## Methods: Dissociated ra synovial
While it is well known that interferon-␥ (IFN␥) and tumor necrosis factor-␣ (TNF␣) play a role in the regulation of thyroid growth and differentiated functions, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in mediating the effects of IFN␥ and TNF␣ on thyroid function are unknown. In the present st
The effects of transforming growth factor-01 (TGF-01) on human hematopoiesis were evaluated in combination with two other regulatory cytokines, namely, recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-a! (TNF-a) and recombinant human interferon-a (rIFN-a). Combinations of TNF-a and TGF-01 resulted in a syner
Ovarian cancer arises mostly from the ovarian surface epithelium. The aim of our study was to compare the effects of cytokines in ovarian surface epithelial (OSE) cells and in ovarian carcinoma cells. Proliferation and expression of surface antigens (CA-I25 and classes I and II antigens of the major
