| Research Abstract |
Synovitis that often accompanies intracapsular pathologic conditions is characterized by chronic inflammatory changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). We have investigated of IL-1β or TNF-α-responsive genes in synoviocytes for putative genes associated with the synovitis using microarray analysis because IL-1b and TNF-a elevated in synovial fluids obtained from TMJ with pathologic conditions. Then, the protein levels of IL-1β or TNF-α-responsive factors have been investigated in synovitis models in vitro and in vivo.
