Abstract
The glucocorticoid (GC)-induced antiinflammatory
molecule annexin I is expressed in leukocytes and has
antiinflammatory effects in animal models of arthritis, but the
expression of annexin I in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) is unknown. We report the
constitutive and dexamethasone (DEX)-inducible expression of
annexin I in RA FLS. DEX increased FLS annexin I protein
translocation and mRNA expression. Interleukin (IL)-1
