Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The inflammation of osteoarthritis is mediated by chondrocytes and the synovial tissue-secreted cytokines. Articular cartilage and synovial tissue contains a variety of cytokines, which play important regulatory role in the repair of articular cartilage injury.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the relationship between chondrocytes, synovial tissue-secreted cytokines and osteoarthritis, as wel as the effect of chondrocytes and synovial tissue-secreted cytokines on osteoarthritis.
METHODS:A computer-based search was conducted in Wanfang database (www.wanfangdata.com.cn), PubMed database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.guv/pubmed) by the first author from 2005 to 2010. The key words were“osteoarthritis, degeneration, cartilage tissue, cytokines”. A total of 146 articles were obtained through computer search, then reading the titles and abstracts for initial screen, 86 articles with the unrelated research purposes were eliminated, 40 articles with the repetitive content were excluded, and final y 21 articles related to the effect of various cytokines in the degenerative cartilage and synovial tissue of the osteoarthritis patients were included for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cytokines mainly refers to the activated immune cel s and some stromal cel-secreted non-specific regulate immune responses and inflammatory responses-mediated smal molecule proteins, including lymphokines produced by the lymphocytes, as wel as the single nuclear factor and other cytokines produced by monocytes macrophages. Synovial cel-secreted cytokines may partial y explain the pathological process of osteoarthritis and play an important role in joint inflammation. Although, more and more scholars have pay attention to the effect of synovial cel s and cartilage cel-secreted cytokines, but mainly studies the effect of exogenous cytokines on chondrocytes or synovial cel s, and the effect of endogenous cytokines in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis has not been extensively studied.
