Disruption of Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4)-CD44 Signaling Modulates Chronic Synovitis in Conditionally Inactivated Mice
2025-10-17
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> Background Proteoglycan-4 (PRG4) is a mucinous glycoprotein secreted by synovial fibroblasts and superficial zone chondrocytes. PRG4 inhibits synovial macrophage (SM) activation <italic>via</italic> xanthine oxidase (XO) and hypoxia inducible factor alpha (HIF-1α) suppression. We aimed to evaluate the contribution of PRG4-CD44 interaction to synovial homeostasis and investigate PRG4...
