Objectives: The current study was performed to examine serum and synovial fluid (SF)
CCL20 levels and their correlations with disease severity in primary knee osteoarthritis …

Objective CCL13, a recently identified CC chemokine, plays an important role in the process
of joint destruction, which is considered a common cause for osteoarthritis (OA). This study …

Background Chemokines are involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). CCL18, a
member of the chemokines family, is observed in synovial fluid (SF) of OA patients. The aim …

Objective Inflammation is implicated to be involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis
(OA). CXCL12, also known as stromal cell-derived factor, is the unique identified natural …

Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease that primarily
affects small joints. The impaired chemokine and cytokine responses are essential …

Objective Serum and synovial fluid (SF) chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2)/monocyte
chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) concentrations have been identified to be increased in …

Background The aim is to determine whether CXC chemokine ligand–12 (CXCL12) levels in
plasma and synovial fluid (SF) of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) are correlated with …

Objective To explore the ability of chemokines in plasma to detect the presence of pre-X-
rays defined knee degeneration and the extent (burden). Methods A total of 181 subjects (75 …

Objective To characterize the expression of CCL19 and CCL21 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
synovial tissue (ST) and to examine their regulation and pathogenetic role in macrophages …

Chemokines proved able to induce release of enzymes relevant in cartilage damage. The
present study addressed the levels of CXCL8 and CCL5 and the potential role of these …
