Suppression of early experimental osteoarthritis by gene transfer of interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist and interleukin‐10
27 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Gene therapy offers a radically different approach to the treatment of arthritis. We demonstrated that cDNA coding for human interleukin-1 receptor-antagonist protein (IL-1Ra) and cDNA coding for human interleukin-10 (IL-10) can be delivered, by ex vivo techniques, to the synovial lining of joints, intra-articular expression of gene significantly reduced cartilage matrix degradation and cartilage breakdown. To...
