Increased levels of lipid oxidation products in rheumatically destructed bones of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

چکیده
The new indicator for lipid peroxidation (LPO) processes--9-hydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid (9-HODE)--was used to investigate, whether LPO processes are increased in destructed bone material of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in comparison to surrounded non destructed bone material. The HODE content in destructed bones exceeded that of non destructed ones of the same patient for a factor of about 3. In addition similar increases in leukotoxines and epoxy oleic acid in the destructed bone material were observed, indicating an increase of LPO processes in affected bone parts of patients.

Background: Heat-shock proteins are part of a strictly controlled biological system that allows organisms to respond to environmental stresses. Different proinflammatory cytokines are present in the synovial tissue of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Such tissues respond to stress and induce heat-shock proteins. In addition, synovial cells are exposed to mechanical stress caused by joint motion. ...
متن کاملDifferential Expression of Rheumatoid Factor-Associated Cross-Reactive Idiotypes in Iranian Seropositive and Seronegative Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
High levels of rheumatoid factors (RF) are detectable in serum of the majority of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but 5-10% of patients remain seronegative (SN). Despite clinical and genetic similarities between these two subsets of RA, it has been proposed that they may be regarded as distinct clinical entities. Methods: In the present study a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) rec...

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...
متن کاملEffect of Alpha-lipoic Acid Supplementation on Serum Lipid Profile in Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background and Objectives: Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is considered as a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory functions. Moreover, a number of studies have revealed its lipid lowering properties. Therefore, we aimed to examine the effect of ALA on serum lipids in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), who have high mortality rate mainly due to accelerated atherosclerosis. Materials and Method...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are vulnerable to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in which atherosclerosis plays a major role. In this study, the lipid profile and fasting blood sugar (FBS) of RA patients receiving a complementary medicine of olive and fig, as add-on therapy for routine disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) regimen containing low dose methotrexate (MTX), were...
