The finding that the proportion and percentage of chemokine binding sites on macrophages increases in the inflamed intima of RA and non-RA synovia suggests that these receptors may function in chronic severe synovitis in RA and more mild synovitis associated with joint damage/ degeneration in non-RA pathology.
In RA there is increased recruitment of monocytes, which migrate into the synovial subintima and to the intima, presumably following a chemotactic gradient [ 3 ] . The increase in synovial macrophage numbers is mainly due to enhanced recruitment since there appears to be little contribution from in situ proliferation of these cells [ 21 ] , although deficient apoptosis may have an effect on increasing cell number [ 1 ] . There is also increased recruitment of neutrophils in RA, migrating from subintimal venules, across the synovium and into the synovial fluid where they can occur in large numbers.
All four chemokines bound to synovial tissue cells in the subintima and the intima in every RA and non-RA individual (Supplementary Fig.
The sample length was 280 μm of synovial intima, the width of a field of view using a ×63 objective lens on a Nikon diaplan light microscope.
From these data, the number and percentage of positive cells in the intimal samples were obtained and expressed per 500 μm of intima.
