Abstract Macrophage-like synoviocytes and fibroblast-like synoviocytes FLS are known as the most active cells of rheumatoid arthritis RA and are close to the articular cartilage in a position enabling them to invade the cartilage. Macrophage-like synoviocytes and FLS expression of matrix metalloproteinases MMPs and their interaction has aroused great interest. The present article studied the expression of CD147 also called extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer on monocytes macrophages and FLS from RA patients and its potential role in enhancing MMPs and the invasiveness of synoviocytes. Expression of CD147 on FLS derived from RA patients and from osteoarthritis patients and expression of CD147 on monocytes macrophages from rheumatic synovial fluid and healthy peripheral blood .
