Citrullination of fibronectin modulates synovial fibroblast behavior
INTRODUCTION Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune arthritis characterized by joint destruction. Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies are pathologic in rheumatoid arthritis, but the role of the citrullinated proteins themselves is much less clear. Citrullination is the conversion of the arginine residues of a protein to citrulline. In the inflamed rheumatoid joint there is increased protein ci...
متن کاملThe epigenome of synovial fibroblasts: an underestimated therapeutic target in rheumatoid arthritis
Perturbed epigenetic landscape and deregulated microRNA networks are central to the permanent activation and aggressiveness of synovial fibroblasts in rheumatoid arthritis. Current anti-cytokine therapies, although effectively halting synovitis, cannot reverse the stably activated destructive phenotype of rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts,offering rather limited protection against ongoi...
متن کاملCells of the synovium in rheumatoid arthritis. Synovial fibroblasts
For some time synovial fibroblasts have been regarded simply as innocent synovial cells, mainly responsible for synovial homeostasis. During the past decade, however, a body of evidence has accumulated illustrating that rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) are active drivers of joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis. Details regarding the intracellular signalling cascades that r...
متن کاملIntegrins and their ligands in rheumatoid arthritis
Integrins play an important role in cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix and other cells. Upon ligand binding, signaling is initiated and several intracellular pathways are activated. This leads to a wide variety of effects, depending on cell type. Integrin activation has been linked to proliferation, secretion of matrix-degrading enzymes, cytokine production, migration, and invasion. Dysr...
متن کاملSynovial activation in rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with progressive articular damage. Activated cells of the synovium produce pro-inflammatory and matrix-degrading effector molecules, which maintain the inflammation and lead to the destruction of the involved joints. In addition to macrophages and T- and B-cells, fibroblast-like synoviocytes must be considered key cells in driving the ...
