PReS-FINAL-1003: Intrinsic cd4 and cd8 effector t cell resistance to suppression in the synovial fluid of juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Autoimmune diseases are characterized by an imbalance between regulatory T cells (Treg) and effector T cells (Teff) both in terms of number and function. Our group previously showed that Teff from the site of inflammation (i.e. synovial fluid, SF) of patients affected by Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) are resistant to autologous Treg-mediated suppression irrespective of the source of Tregs (SF or peripheral blood(PB)-derived). However, it is still unclear whether resistance to suppression is an intrinsic characteristic of SF-derived Teff or it is induced/ maintained by local pro-inflammatory antigen presenting cells (APC).

Introduction Predicting disease course in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is difficult. During the first 6 months of oligoarticular JIA (O-JIA) disease presents with 4 or fewer affected joints, however after 6 or more months severity might increase with more than 4 joints involved (extended O-JIA), or persist with 4 or fewer joints affected (persistent O-JIA). However patients do not show a...

Introduction Enthesitis Related Arthritis Category of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA-ERA) is the most common category of JIA seen in Asian Indians. Transcriptome analysis is a useful tool to analyse pathways involved in disease pathogenesis. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and SFMC analysis showed involvement of innate immune cells in JIA-ERA. However PBMC/SFMC have variable numbe...

Introduction Resistance of effector T cells (Teff) to suppression contributes to disturbed immune regulation in autoimmune disease. Targeting this unresponsiveness to suppression might therefore have beneficial effects in autoimmune inflammation. In juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) we have recently shown that Teff from inflamed joints are refractory to suppression, which was associated with ...

Methods We setup an in vitro culture system to test the suppressive capacity of MSC on both peripheral blood cells (PBMC) and synovial fluid cells (SFMC). We tested T cell proliferation and cytokine production of healthy controls and JIA patients. Furthermore, we investigated the induction or suppression of regulatory T cells (Treg) and Th17 cells as these cells have an important role in JIA pa...
