Does TGF-beta protect articular cartilage in vivo?

H M van Beuningen1, P M van der Kraan, O J Arntz, W B van den Berg.   

Abstract

Repeated intraarticular injections of transforming growth factor beta cause stimulation of articular cartilage proteoglycan synthesis, influx of inflammatory cells, fibrosis and osteophyte formation. When injected together with interleukin-1, TGF-beta enhances IL-1 induced cell-attraction in a synergistic way, while it counteracts IL-1 induced suppression of cartilage PG synthesis.
