Prostaglandin production by rheumatoid synovial cells: stimulation by a factor from human mononuclear Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (lymphocyte-monocyte) in culture release a solube factor which can stimulate, up to 200-fold, production of prostaglandin E2 by isolated, adherent, rheumatoid synovial cells. Production of the factor by the mononuclear cells is enhanced by phytohemagglutinin. This factor is similar in apparent mol vt (10,000-20,000) to that which also stimulates collagenase production by the same cells.

Modulation of synovial cell products by a factor from a human cell line: T lymphocyte induction of a mononuclear cell factor.
A human cell line (U937) can be stimulated to produce a soluble factor (MCF) by either lectin-activated T lymphocytes or their soluble products. In prior studies, we showed that MCF produced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells can increase production of collagenase and prostaglandin E2 by adherent synovial cells obtained from enzymatically dispersed rheumatoid synovium. We show here that peri...
متن کاملMast-cell products and heparin stimulate the production of mononuclear-cell factor by cultured human monocyte/macrophages.
Purified mast cells derived from rat peritoneal fluids and dog mastocytomas were extracted with 1 M-NaCl and sonication techniques. The mast-cell products increased the production of mononuclear cell factor from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in culture, as judged by the enhanced stimulation of prostaglandin E (2-5 fold) and collagenase (3-11-fold) production by cultured adherent syno...
متن کاملCollagenase and prostaglandin in connective tissue destruction: cell-cell and humoral interactions.
Connective tissue destruction is a major characteristic of chornic rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This process is accompanied by local cellular and humoral inflammatory reactions. Long-term cultures of adherent synovial cells (ASC) from patients with RA produce large amounts of collagenase and prostaglandin (PGE2), two substances that play a role in the degradation of joint structures. Lvels of col...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of c-Met signaling pathways for synovial cell function
We previously demonstrated that blocking the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor, c-Met, using a HGF antagonist, NK4, inhibited arthritis in a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) model mice. In the present study, we investigated the role of c-Met signaling in synovial cell function. We demonstrated that synovial tissues from RA patients and MH7A cells, a human RA synovial cell line, expressed HGF and...
متن کاملCharacteristics of immunocompetent cells in synovial membranes from multiple sites in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The phenotypic characterization of enzymatically dissociated mononuclear cells in synovial membrane samples from multiple sites in two patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were examined by fluorescence activated flow cytometry. In synovial membrane samples from each patient there was a consistent increase in the proportion of CD8+ cells (suppressor/cytotoxic), CD14+ cells (monocytes/macropha...
