MCP-1 monocyte chemotactic protein-1
A number of chemokines, including IL-8, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), MIP-1β, epithelial-derived neutrophil attractant 78, and regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), are known to be found in RA synovial fluid [ 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].
Ang-1 modulates VEGF-stimulated reorganization of endothelial cells and promotes vascular network maturation [ 9 20 ] . Additionally, both Ang-1 and VEGF are chemotactic and are involved in recruiting endothelial cells to initiate and accelerate endothelialization of blood vessels [ 21 22 ] .
cCAF chicken Chemotactic and Angiogenic Factor
The normal intima of the synovium is one to two cells thick and consists mainly of macrophage-like and fibroblast-like cells [ 3 ] . In inflammation, macrophages make a large contribution to intimal thickening, where these cells increase in number and proportion [ 3 ] . Evidence indicates that intimal macrophages arrive via the circulation as monocytes [ 4 ] , and it is proposed that increased numbers of intimal macrophages in RA are largely attributed to enhanced monocyte recruitment from blood vessels in the synovium [ 1 5 ] . Neutrophils are also recruited in RA and can be found in abundance in synovial fluid, yet they occur in relatively low numbers in the synovium [ 5 ] . In synovial fluid their number can reach 10 6per joint, particularly during an active phase of the disease [ 6 ] . Neutrophils occur at the pannus-cartilage junction [ 7 ] and it is presumed that these cells reach the joint cavity by migrating from the blood vessels in the synovium, following a chemotactic gradient.
