Synthesis of arachidonate cyclo-oxygenase products by rheumatoid and nonrheumatoid synovial lining in nonproliferative organ culture.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Specimens of human rheumatoid and nonrheumatoid synovial lining were maintained in nonproliferative organ culture for 20 hours. The culture fluids were then assayed for prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)), and 6-keto-prostaglandin F(1alpha) (6-keto-PGF(1alpha)) by specific radioimmunoassay. The presence of each of these substances was confirmed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Rheumatoid tissue produced significantly more of each cyclo-oxygenase product than nonrheumatoid tissue.

DNA synthesis in human rheumatoid and nonrheumatoid synovial lining.
The DNA content per nucleus has been measured in the lining cells of 12 specimens of rheumatoid and 12 of nonrheumatoid synovial tissue. Optimal conditions for this reaction on these cells have been defined, and an index of DNA synthesis has been applied to give a quantitative measure of the degree of synthesis. This has given evidence of some DNA synthesis in both types of synoviocytes, compat...
متن کاملGlycolytic activity in human synovial lining cells in rheumatoid arthritis.
It was conceivable that the previously reported elevated pentose-shunt activity in human rheumatoid synoviocytes could be at the expense of glycolytic activity. To test this possibility the activities of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and lactate dehydrogenase, the two dehydrogenase enzymes of the latter pathway, have been investigated in the synovial lining cells in fresh sections of nonrheumatoid...
متن کاملGrowth of Newcastle disease virus and rubella virus in rheumatoid and nonrehumatoid synovial cell cultures.
Rheumatoid and nonrheumatoid synovial cell cultures were challenged with Newcastle disease virus and rubella virus in an attempt to confirm reports that rheumatoid synovial cells are relatively resistant to infection with these viruses. Newcastle disease virus caused complete cell destruction by day 7 in both rheumatoid and nonrheumatoid cultures, and peak virus titers were similar. Rubella vir...
متن کاملProliferation of synovial lining cells and fibroblasts.
After in vitro incubation with 3H-thymidine, the proliferation of synovial lining cells and fibroblasts was investigated in surgically-removed articular tissue. Under normal conditions, in nonrheumatoid arthritis and in osteoarthrosis, low proliferation rates for both cell types were observed. In rheumatoid arthritis, the rate of proliferation of both cell types was usually increased. An increa...
متن کاملEffect of glucocorticoids on the hexose monophosphate pathway in human rheumatoid synovial lining cells in vitro and in vivo.
Human rheumatoid synovial lining cells have up to four times the capacity to oxidize glucose 6-phosphate, the first step of the hexose monophosphate pathway, as do the nonrheumatoid cells. The reducing equivalents produced by this system have many significant metabolic effects. Exposure of these cells by 10(-5) M prednisolone in vitro, or to 6 mg/day in vivo, causes some depression of this acti...
