Synergistic induction of local glucocorticoid generation by inflammatory cytokines and glucocorticoids: implications for inflammation associated bone loss
OBJECTIVES: Synovial fibroblasts and osteoblasts generate active glucocorticoids by means of the 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) enzyme. This activity increases in response to proinflammatory cytokines or glucocorticoids. During inflammatory arthritis synovium and bone are exposed...
