Transforming Growth Factor-β1 and Laminin-111 Cooperate in the Regulation of Expression of Interleukin-6 and Interleukin-8 in Synovial Fibroblasts

In a recent study we showed that binding of synovial fibroblasts (SF) to laminin-111 (LM-111) in the presence of TGF-β1 induced a significant production of IL-16. Here we go on to investigate the regulation of IL-6 and IL-8 in SF by LM-111 and TGF-β1. Changes in steady state mRNA levels encoding the...
