Total RNA was extracted from two cultures of RA-SF low-density LD proliferating cells and high-density HD nonproliferating cells and suppression subtractive hybridization was performed to compare differential gene expression of these two cultures. Subtracted cDNA was subcloned and nucleotide sequences were analyzed to identify each clone. Differential expression of distinct clones was confirmed by semiquantitative RT-PCR. The expression of certain genes in synovial tissues was examined by in situ hybridization. In both LD and HD cells 44 clones were upregulated. Of the 88 total clones 46 were identical to sequences that have previously been characterized. Twenty- nine clones were identical to cDNAs that have been identified but with unknown functions so far and
