Long noncoding RNA expression profile in fibroblast-like synoviocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis
BACKGROUND Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently received wide attention as key molecules that mediate a variety of physiological and pathological processes by regulating gene expression; however, knowledge of lncRNAs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is limited. Thus, we investigated the lncRNA expression profile in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) from patients with RA and explored the fu...
متن کاملChemerin activates fibroblast-like synoviocytes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
INTRODUCTION Chemerin is a chemotactic agonist identified as a ligand for ChemR23 that is expressed on macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we analyzed the expression of chemerin and ChemR23 in the synovium of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and the stimulatory effects of chemerin on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) from RA patients. METHODS Chemerin and ChemR23 express...
متن کاملResistin upregulates chemokine production by fibroblast-like synoviocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis
BACKGROUND Adipokines are bioactive hormones secreted by adipose tissues. Resistin, an adipokine, plays important roles in the regulation of insulin resistance and inflammation. Resistin levels are known to be increased in the serum and synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. However, the pathogenic role of resistin in RA has not yet been elucidated. METHODS The expression of re...
متن کاملFibroblast-like synoviocytes: key effector cells in rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains a significant unmet medical need despite significant therapeutic advances. The pathogenesis of RA is complex and includes many cell types, including T cells, B cells, and macrophages. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) in the synovial intimal lining also play a key role by producing cytokines that perpetuate inflammation and proteases that contribute to cartila...
متن کاملFibroblast-like synoviocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis are more sensitive to apoptosis induced by the viral protein, apoptin, than fibroblast-like synoviocytes from trauma patients.
OBJECTIVE Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) show characteristics of transformation. Because the chicken anemia virus protein, apoptin, induces apoptosis solely in transformed cells, it was investigated whether FLS from patients were more sensitive to apoptin-induced apoptosis than FLS from normal joints obtained from trauma patients. METHODS FLS w...
