Previous studies support the important role of
vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and syndecan-4 in the pathogenesis
of osteoarthritis (OA). Both VEGF and syndecan-4 are expressed by
chondrocytes and both are involved in the regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-3,
resulting in the activation of aggrecanase II (ADAMTS-5), which
is essential in the pathogenesis of OA. However, the relationship
between VEGF and syndecan-4 has not been established. As a pilot
study, we assayed the expression of VEGF and syndecan-4 in cartilage
samples and cultured chondrocytes from osteoarthritic
