Endocan is a circulating proteoglycan, involved in immunity, inflammation, and endothelial function. It has been recently suggested as a biomarker of inflammation, increased angiogenesis, and cancer. In vitro studies have shown that endocan expression could be upregulated by inflammatory cytokines and proangiogenic molecules. High endocan levels were also shown in arthritic joint tissues and particularly in sites characterized by severe inflammation. This study was performed to evaluate endocan expression in chondrocytes stimu
