چکیده

Human activated T cells adhere to synovial fibroblast-like cells in vitro. The present study was conducted to investigate the consequences of T cell-synovial fibroblast interactions with regard to induction of adhesion molecules and proinflammatory cytokines. A sensitive Western blot technique, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, and fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis were used to analyze the induction of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression in T cell-synovial fibroblast cocultures. VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression could be induced in synovial fibroblast-like cells by 2 h. PCR amplification showed that both forms of VCAM-1 mRNA are found after the interaction of synovial fibroblasts with T cells. Up-regulation of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 was confined to synovial fibroblasts; T cells did not express VCAM-1 or increased ICAM-1. In contrast to the T cell-synoviocyte interaction, the interaction between T cells and dermal fibroblasts resulted in the up-regulation of ICAM-1 but not VCAM-1, suggesting tissue-specific regulation of VCAM-1. The T cell-synovial fibroblast interaction also resulted in increased levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interferon-gamma, and interleukin-6 in coculture supernatant. Of the neutralizing antibodies used against these cytokines, only anti-TNF could significantly inhibit VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression. When T cells were separated from synoviocytes by a chamber that allowed medium exchange but no cell contact, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 failed to be up-regulated and cytokine accumulation in cocultures was drastically reduced. Our results demonstrate mutual cell activation of T cells and synoviocytes upon cell contact as shown by the release of T cell- and synoviocyte-specific cytokines and suggest a cell contact-mediated and T cell-initiated mechanism for the chronic accumulation and retention of mononuclear cells via VCAM-1/ICAM-1 by synovial fibroblasts in the rheumatoid synovium.

IL-17A and TNF-α Increase the Expression of the Antiapoptotic Adhesion Molecule Amigo-2 in Arthritis Synoviocytes

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder, characterized by a persistent immune cell infiltrate in the synovium accompanied by high levels of inflammatory mediators and synovial hyperplasia. Despite significant therapeutic advances, RA remains an important unmet medical need. To discover potential new genes controlling inflammation and apoptosis in synoviocytes, genes induced...
