Abstract
⺠CCN4 was highly expressed in OA synovial fibroblasts as compared to normal SFs. ⺠CCN4 induces the monocyte adhesion in OASFs by up-regulation of VCAM-1 expression. ⺠CCN4 acts through the αvβ5/α6β1 integrin, Syk, PKCδ, and JNK pathways to induce VCAM-1. ⺠AP-1 is key transcription factor of CCN4-induced VCAM-1 expression.
