## Abstract ## Objective Hypoxia is a prominent feature in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovium. However, its contribution to the pathogenesis of RA remains unclear. We undertook this study to systematically characterize the changes in gene expression induced by hypoxia in synovial fibroblasts. ##
Normal human diploid fibroblasts (WS-1 cells) were growth-arrested under serum-free conditions for 48 hr. The addition of fetal bovine serum (10% final concentration) to these cells stimulated [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA and phosphoinositide breakdown over nine-fold. Thrombin, at concentra
