Abstract Background Rheumatoid arthritis RA is a chronic inflammatory and systemic autoimmune disease that leads to progressive cartilage destruction. Advances in the treatment of RA-related destruction of cartilage require profound insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in cartilage degradation. Until now comprehensive data about the molecular RA-related dysfunction of chondrocytes have been limited. Hence the objective of this study was to establish a standardized in vitro model to profile the key regulatory molecules of RA-related destruction .
