synovial fractalkine plays important role in cytokines’ related knee edema variation in rat arthritis model
Authors
abstract
introduction: the systemic and local content of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines play substantial roles in pathophysiology of arthritis. this study was purposed to verify the roles of synovial tnf-α, il-6 and fractalkine (fkn) in edema changes during different stages of complete freund’s adjuvant (cfa)-induced knee arthritis in rats. methods: 168 male wistar rats were divided in 7 groups and each group was divided to 4 subgroups. each subgroup contains 6 male rats. arthritis was evoked into the right knee joint. changes in knee edema were evaluated by caliper and synovial tnf-α and il-6 levels were assayed by rat standard elisa kit in homogenized synovial tissues on days 0, 7, 14 and 21 of study. synovial fkn content was assessed during different stages of study using western blot. for analysis of within-groups differences, anova followed by post hoc tukeys was used. unpaired student t-test was used for analysis of differences between groups. results: cfa injection caused intense knee edema which was reduced by anti-tnf-α and anti-fkn administration. in anti-il-6 treated rats, knee edema was reduced in the first two weeks but increased on day 21 of study. remarkable increase in synovial tnf-α, il-6 and fkn levels were observed after cfa treatment. anti-tnf-α treatment reduced synovial levels of il-6 and fkn. anti-il-6 administration caused a reduction in synovial il-6 level and an increase in tnf-α synovial level. anti-fkn administration caused a reduction in fkn and tnf-α level. conclusion: it seems that fkn plays an important role in modulating the tnf-α and il-6 effects on edema changes in cfa-induced inflammation.

Introduction: Apoptosis dysregulation plays a substantial role in the pathophysiology of chronic inflammation and its related symptoms such as edema. Regulation of NF-ĸB activation is involved in apoptosis pattern change. The current study aimed at verifying the effects of local inflammation on edema and changes in apoptotic markers, and investigating the possible role of NF-ĸB in apoptosis pat...

We presented a female patient with RA complaining of progressive pain, swelling, and crepitation of the knee joints that was diagnosed with bilateral synovial chondromatosis (SC) of both knees. Radiographies revealed characteristic findings of SC including multiple calcified multifaceted loose bodies within both knees. Removal of cartilaginous segments as well as total synovectomy was performed...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the concentrations of T cell derived cytokines in the synovial fluids (SFs) of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in comparison with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Th1 type cytokines (interleukin 2 (IL2), tumour necrosis factor beta (TNF beta), and interferon gamma (INF gamma) and Th2 type cytokines (IL4, IL10...
full textASXL1 plays an important role in erythropoiesis
ASXL1 mutations are found in a spectrum of myeloid malignancies with poor prognosis. Recently, we reported that Asxl1(+/-) mice develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or MDS and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) overlapping diseases (MDS/MPN). Although defective erythroid maturation and anemia are associated with the prognosis of patients with MDS or MDS/MPN, the role of ASXL1 in erythropoiesi...

Introduction: Immune system is involved in the etiology and pathophysiology of inflammation and vitamins are important sources of substances inducing nonspecific immunomodulatory effects. Given the proinflammatory role of cytokines in the inflammation and pain induction, this study aimed to assess the effects of long-term administration of vitamin B1 on the proinflammatory cytokines, edema, and...
