Intraarticular overexpression of Smad7 ameliorates experimental arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Crohn's disease (CD) are autoimmune disorders with a crosstalk between their pathogenesis such as increased expression of TNF in the target organs. Despite a successful clinical trial with an oral Smad7 antisense oligonucleotide in CD, intraarticular (i.a.) modulation of Smad7 expression has not been performed in rheumatoid joint yet. In this study, contradictory t...
متن کاملIL-12p40 Homodimer Ameliorates Experimental Autoimmune Arthritis.
IL-23 is the key cytokine that induces the expansion of Th17 cells. It is composed of p19 and p40 subunits of IL-12. The p40 subunit binds competitively to the receptor of IL-23 and blocks its activity. Our aim was to assess the preventive and therapeutic effect of the IL-12p40 homodimer (p40)2 subunit in autoimmune arthritis animal models. In the current study, using IL-1R antagonist-knockout ...
متن کاملInhibition of notch signalling ameliorates experimental inflammatory arthritis.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that Notch signalling plays a role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to determine whether pharmacological inhibition of Notch signalling with γ-secretase inhibitors can ameliorate the RA disease process in an animal model. METHODS Collagen-induced arthritis was induced in C57BL/6 or Notch antisense transgenic mice by immunisation with chicke...
متن کاملLapachol, a compound targeting pyrimidine metabolism, ameliorates experimental autoimmune arthritis
BACKGROUND The inhibition of pyrimidine biosynthesis by blocking the dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) activity, the prime target of leflunomide (LEF), has been proven to be an effective strategy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. However, a considerable proportion of RA patients are refractory to LEF. Here, we investigated lapachol (LAP), a natural naphthoquinone, as a potential DHODH...
متن کاملExperimental arthritis in the rat does not alter the analgesic potency of intrathecal or intraarticular morphine.
UNLABELLED To explore further the role of inflammatory processing on peripheral opioid pharmacology, we examined whether the potency of intraarticular (i.a.) or intrathecal (i.t) morphine in tests of thermal and mechanical nociception changed during the induction of experimental arthritis in the rat. Thermal nociception by i.t. morphine (3, 10, and 50 micrograms) or i.a. morphine (100, 1000, an...
