Evaluation of antigen-induced synovitis in a porcine model: Immunological, arthroscopic and kinetic studies.

TL;DR: An animal model of antigen-induced synovitis to be used in the evaluation of anti-inflammatory therapies and the identification of IL-12p40 and T cell subsets as immune biomarkers is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical adaptation of synoviocytes A and B to immobilization and remobilization: a study in the rat knee flexion model

TL;DR: Knee immobilization and remobilization significantly modulated synoviocytes in vivo, stressing their mechanosensitive nature and possible contribution to immobility-induced changes of the joint capsule.

Human interleukin-17: A T cell-derived proinflammatory cytokine produced by the rheumatoid synovium.

TL;DR: It is indicated that IL-17 contributes to the active, proinflammatory pattern that is characteristic of RA through the contribution of some Th1-like T cells appear to mediate synovial inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis is a source of osteoclast differentiation factor

TL;DR: These studies address the potential role of ODF and the bone and marrow microenvironment in the pathogenesis of osteoclast-mediated bone erosion in RA and identify TRAP-positive, cathepsin K-positive osteOClast precursor cells are identified in areas of pannus invasion into bone in RA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: Selective counteraction of macrophage activation remains an efficacious approach to diminish local and systemic inflammation, as well as to prevent irreversible joint damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

The major synovial targets of the rheumatoid arthritis-specific antifilaggrin autoantibodies are deiminated forms of the alpha- and beta-chains of fibrin.

TL;DR: Results show that deiminated forms of fibrin deposited in the rheumatoid synovial membranes are the major target of AFA, and suggest that autoimmunization against deimination fibrIn is a critical step in RA pathogenesis.

Oxidation in rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: Repetitive cycles of hypoxia and reoxygenation associated with changes in synovial perfusion are postulated to activate Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and nuclear factor-κB, two key transcription factors that are regulated by changes in cellular oxygenation and cytokine stimulation, and that orchestrate the expression of a spectrum of genes critical to the persistence of synovitis.
