We found the expression of p107 mRNA and Bmp-4 mRNA to be decreased, which, if reflected in reduced protein levels, would be consistent with the phenotype of delayed cartilage maturation in Hox transgenic animals: As Bmp-4 was shown to have a positive effect on hypertrophy and inhibitory effect on proliferation [ 37 38 ] , decreased Bmp-4 expression would be expected to promote chondrocyte proliferation.

The antigen-induced arthritis model of rheumatoid arthritis in rabbits demonstrates persistent active inflammation for several months after the intra-articular injection of antigen, including hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the synovial lining cells, pannus formation with articular cartilage erosion, and chronic infiltration of synovium by lymphocytes and plasma cells [ 13 ] . In addition, Dijkstra and colleagues [ 15 ] found macrophages in the superficial layer of the synovium, where they might secrete enzymes and oxygen radicals into the joint space, which can lead to cartilage erosion [ 9 ] .
