Syndecan-3 is selectively pro-inflammatory in the joint and contributes to antigen-induced arthritis in mice
11 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Syndecans are heparan sulphate proteoglycans expressed by endothelial cells. Syndecan-3 is expressed by synovial endothelial cells of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients where it binds chemokines, suggesting a role in leukocyte trafficking. The objective of the current study was to examine the function of syndecan-3 in joint inflammation by genetic deletion in mice and compare with other tissues....
