چکیده

Increased concentrations of eicosanoids are found in synovial fluids (SF) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). SF polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), which derive from peripheral blood, usually account for approximately 90% of the cells in RA SF. Since eicosanoid precursor fatty acids (FA) are liberated by phospholipases from membrane phospholipids, we examined phospholipase A2 and C activities in peripheral blood PMN from patients with RA. Peripheral blood PMN from patients with RA (RA-PMN) exhibit greater phospholipase A2 activities against phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and greater phospholipase C activities against PC, PE, and phosphatidylinositol (PI) than PMN obtained from normal volunteers (N-PMN).

Patients with Active Rheumatoid Arthritis Have Lower Frequency of nTregs in Peripheral Blood

Background: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suffer from wide ranges of autoimmune reactions in joints. The mechanism of which is generally unknown and maybe associated with Treg deregulation. Objective: To compare the frequency of nTregs in peripheral blood of patients with active rheumatoid disease with healthy individuals. Methods: Twenty five newly diagnosed patients with active RA d...

Characterisation of soluble and cell associated phospholipase A2 from rheumatoid synovial fluid.

The hydrolysis of radiolabelled Escherichia coli phospholipids, and micellar dispersions of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine, were used to characterise the phospholipase A2 activity in synovial fluid from patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Cell free fractions of synovial fluid contain a phospholipase A2 enzyme that preferentially releases [14C]oleic acid from E coli biomembrane...

Evaluation of Beclin-1 and Atg5 genes expression levels in peripheral blood cells of patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease, which primarily affects the joints. During RA development, T cells and other immune cells are recruited to the synovial tissue and promote RA. Autophagy is a process in which intracellular organelles and compounds are degraded. Autophagy as a regulator of cell homeostasis can affect immune cells activation and c...

Chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Using a new in vitro method of measuring the chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes from peripheral blood, a chemotactic index has been calculated. The mean chemotactic index of 320 in 24 patients with definite rheumatoid arthritis, was significantly less (P < 0.0005) than the mean of 555 in 24 normal controls matched for age and sex. The mean chemotactic index of 435 in eight patients with...

Paneth cells: leukocyte-like mediators of innate immunity in the intestine.

Paneth cells are secretory intestinal epithelial cells located at the base of the crypts of Lieberkühn in the small intestine. They display prominent cytoplasmic granules, containing antibacterial proteins such as lysozyme, secretory phospholipase A2 type IIA, and alpha-defensins, which are released into the intestinal lumen in response to a range of stimuli. In this, they resemble circulating ...
