Arthritogenic Monoclonal Antibodies from K/BxN Mice
Arthritis in the K/BxN mouse model is provoked by pathogenic antibodies (Abs) directed against a ubiquitously expressed protein, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI). To begin dissecting the repertoire of arthritogenic immunoglobulins (Igs) in the K/BxN model, and to provide a basis for comparison with RA patients we have generated anti-GPI monoclonal Abs (mAbs) from spontaneously activated B ce...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of an arthritogenic synovial fibroblast
Increasing attention has been directed towards identifying non-T-cell mechanisms as potential therapeutic targets in rheumatoid arthritis. Synovial fibroblast (SF) activation, a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis, results in inappropriate production of chemokines and matrix components, which in turn lead to bone and cartilage destruction. We have demonstrated that SFs have an autonomous pathogeni...
متن کاملEnzyme degradation and proinflammatory activity in arthritogenic and nonarthritogenic Eubacterium aerofaciens cell walls.
Two almost-identical strains of Eubacterium aerofaciens isolated from the normal human gut flora were used. The cell wall (CW) of one strain with a peptidoglycan (PG) type A4alpha induces chronic arthritis in the rat after a single intraperitoneal injection, whereas CW of the other with PG type A4beta induces only a transient acute arthritis. The CW of the arthritogenic E. aerofaciens was a two...
متن کاملAn arthritogenic lymphokine in the rat
A type II collagen-specific arthritogenic lymphokine has been identified in the rat. Arthritogenic factor (AF) is a 65 kD protein generated in vitro by T cells from rats with collagen arthritis, and it induces an erosive, proliferative synovitis when injected into the knee joint of syngeneic naive recipients. Complement does not appear to be required. These data identify a potential T cell-medi...
متن کاملTWEAK is a novel arthritogenic mediator.
TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) is a TNF family member with pleiotropic effects on a variety of cell types, one of which is the induction of proinflammatory cytokines by synovial fibroblasts derived from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. In this study, we report that the serum TWEAK level was dramatically elevated during mouse collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and blocking TWEAK by ...
