Endothelial Dysfunction in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Mechanistic Insights and Correlation with Circulating Markers of Systemic Inflammation
OBJECTIVES To determine mechanisms involved in endothelial dysfunction (ED) during the course of arthritis and to investigate the link between cytokines, chemokines and osteoprotegerin. APPROACH AND RESULTS Experiments were conducted on aortic rings at day 4 (preclinical), day 11 (onset of disease), day 33 (acute disease) and day 90 (chronic disease) after adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) in ...

متن کاملEffect of Therapeutic Inhibition of TNF on Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Endothelial dysfunction has been detected in RA patients and seems to be reversed by control of inflammation. Low circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been described in many conditions associated with increased cardiovascular risk, including RA. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of inhibition of TNF on EPCs in RA patients. Seventeen patients with moderate-sever...
متن کاملMarked Independent Relationship between Circulating Interleukin-6 Concentrations and Endothelial Activation in Rheumatoid Arthritis
We examined the potential impact of conventional compared with nonconventional cardiovascular risk factors including interleukin-6 levels on endothelial activation in RA. Circulating soluble E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 concentrations were measured in 217 African patients (112 black and 105 white) with R...
متن کاملCirculating endothelial cells and their progenitors in systemic lupus erythematosus and early rheumatoid arthritis patients.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the endothelial progenitor cell population in SLE and early RA patients and its potential relationships with disease features and cytokine serum levels. METHODS Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), mature EPCs (mEPCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) were measured in peripheral blood samples from 83 SLE and 85 early RA patients and 39 healthy cont...
