Virchows Archiv, 05/06/09
Varoga D et al. - The report demonstrates an unappreciated role of synovial membranes: samples of septic synovial membranes and cultured synoviocytes exposed to bacteria produce increased amounts of the AMP HBD-2 and the bacteria recognition receptors TLR-2 and -4. The induction of anti-inflammatory pathways in infected synoviocytes suggests involvement in intra-articular defense mechanisms.
