The Ang-2 mRNA expression in RA synovial tissue was similar to that from OA patients, and both were significantly higher than normal.
In RA, Ang-1 was most upregulated on endothelial cells.
It has been shown that increasing amounts of Ang-2 can block the chemotactic activity of Ang-1 in endothelial cells [ 21 ] . Ang-2 alone did not stimulate corneal neovascularization, but the combination of Ang-2 and VEGF resulted in longer vessels with greater circumferential extent than those seen with VEGF alone [ 9 ] . This suggests that Ang-2 expression in the absence of VEGF leads to vessel regression, whereas expression of Ang-2 in the presence of VEGF potentiates angiogenesis.
The dominance of Ang-2 over Ang-1 mRNA and protein in OA synovial tissue are in agreement with the inactive VEGF receptor 1 pathway (angiogenic pathway) in OA [ 24 ] . The Ang-2 mRNA expression pattern correlates with the Ang-2 immunostaining detected on endothelial cells.
In agreement with our finding, it has been reported that primary cultured macrophages and precursor macrophage cell lines mainly express Ang-2 mRNA [ 23 ] . In contrast to Ang-1, Ang-2 was distributed in a similar pattern in RA and OA compared to normal synovial tissues (Fig.
