"In recent years, we and others have reported that cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) induce Sdc4 expression to mediate different musculoskeletal pathologies including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis (OA), and IVD degeneration [79-81]."

"Through the further reading of the literature, we found that TNF-α and IL-1β can upregulate the expression of SDC4 in cartilage tissue through the NF-κB pathway, activate ADAMTS-4, -5, and upregulate MMPs, thereby causing the degradation of ECM and leading to cartilage degeneration ."

"We capitalized on our previous finding that mediators of innate immunity, i.e., TNFα and IL-1β, upregulate production and shedding of syndecan-4 from cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts [18,20], in order to investigate whether immunomodulatory therapy affected syndecan-4 levels in such cells."
