Results indicated that plasma concentrations of eotaxin-1 as well as the chemokines, RANTES, and MCP-1alpha, were higher in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) than those in normal humans. Stimulation of chondrocytes with IL-1beta or TNF-alpha significantly induced eotaxin-1 expression. The production of eotaxin-1 induced expression of its own receptor of CCR3 and CCR5 on the cell surface of chondrosarcomas, suggesting that an autocrine/paracrine pathway is involved in eotaxin-1~s action. In addition, eotaxin-1 markedly increased the expressions of MMP-3 and MMP-13 mRNA, but had no effect on TIMP-1 expression in chondrocytes. However, pretreatment of anti-eotaxin-1 antibody significantly decreased the MMP-3 expression induced by IL-1beta. These results first demonstrate that human chondrocytes express the chemokine, eotaxin-1, and that its expression is induced by treatment with IL-1beta and TNF-alpha. The cytokine-triggered induction of eotaxin-1 further results in enhanced expressions of its own receptor of CCR3, CCR5, and MMPs, suggesting that eotaxin-1 plays an important role in cartilage degradation in OA. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=7220 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Chang KH, Li CY, Tsai SH, Liu YH, Hsieh MS ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Production of the chemokine eotaxin-1 in osteoarthritis and its role in cartilage degradation. ------>language=1 ------>check_flag= ------>submit_date= ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho= ------>publish_year=2002 ------>submit_flag= ------>publish_month=None |
