The majority of cytokines and growth factors known to be involved in cartilage metabolism are synthesized by the chondrocytes themselves. They are up-regulated in osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage, resulting in 2 opposite phenotypes, TNFalpha(high) and TNFalpha(low), that are characterized by an elevated number of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-positive and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-positive chondrocytes, respectively. To establish a hierarchy among the cytokines and growth factors expressed in articular chondrocytes, this study investigated cytokine genes for known polymorphisms that may contribute to the deregulated expression in OA cartilage.
