We report here that human synovial cells stimulated by interleukin-1 alpha and interleukin-1 beta express mRNA for both IL-8 (neutrophil chemotactic peptide) and monocyte chemotactic protein. IL-1 stimulated synovial cells from both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis patients exhibited similar mRNA expression of interleukin-8 and monocyte chemotactic protein. A capacity to produce factors selectively chemotactic for neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes provides a mechanism whereby synovial cells can facilitate inflammatory arthritis.
