Brief description Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used for their potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects due to the effects GCs on immune cells or synovial fibroblasts. Recently, we have made the exciting discovery that arthritis mice with glucocorticoid receptor knock-out in chondrocyte are completely resistant to glucocorticoid treatment. This study will identify the mechanisms underlying these hormonal effects with the aim to find new targets for efficient treatments for arthritis.
