1. Synovial Fibroblasts Self-Direct Multicellular Lining Architecture and Synthetic Function in Three-Dimensional Organ Culture.

Author

Kiener, Hans P., Watts, Gerald F. M., Yajun Cui, Wright, John, Thornhill, Thomas S., Sköld, Markus, Behar, Samuel M., Niederreiter, Birgit, Jun Lu, Cernadas, Manuela, Coyle, Anthony J., Sims, Gary P., Smolen, Josef, Warman, Matthew L., Brenner, Michael B., and Lee, David M.

Abstract

The article discusses the creation of a three dimensional (3-D) multicellular synovial lining using cultured fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) in a spherical extracellular matrix (ECM) micromasses. It mentions that the FLS form into a complex architecture which corresponds to the hyperplasia of macrophages in the synovial lining in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It states that the findings are essential in determining the inherent function of FLS.

Abstract

The article discusses a study on the association between friction and wear in diarthrodial joints that lack the glycoprotein lubricin. Lubricin is secreted by surface chondrocytes and synovial cells and has been proved to reduce friction in vitro. The research found that synovial fluid (SF) lacking lubricin failed to reduce friction in the boundary mode. It concludes that friction is coupled with wear at the cartilage surface in vivo.
