TLDR
It was found that the percentage of CD4+CD161+ T cells and their expression of CD147 and CD98 in SF were higher than in the peripheral blood of RA patients, implying that the accumulation ofCD4+ CD161+T cells in SF and their high expression ofCD147 may be associated with CypA-mediated chemotaxis and contribute to local inflammation in RA.
Abstract
CD161 is used as a surrogate marker for Th17 cells, which are implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, we evaluated the percentage, clinical significance, and CD98 and CD147 expression of CD4+CD161+ T cells. The potential role of CD147 and CD98 in cyclophilin A-induced chemotaxis of CD4+CD161+ T cells was analyzed. Thirty-seven RA patients, 15 paired synovial fluid (SF) of RA, and 22 healthy controls were recruited. The cell populations and surface expression of CD98 and CD147 were analyzed by flow cytometry. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression were applied to calculate the correlations. Chemotaxis assay was used to investigate CD4+CD161+ T cell migration. We found that the percentage of CD4+CD161+ T cells and their expression of CD147 and CD98 in SF were higher than in the peripheral blood of RA patients. Percentage of SF CD4+CD161+ T cells was positively correlated with 28-Joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28). CD147 monoclonal antibody (HAb18) attenuated the chemotactic ability of CD4+CD161+ T cells. An increased CD4+CD161+ T cell percentage and expression of CD147 and CD98 were shown in RA SF. Percentage of SF CD4+CD161+ T cells can be used as a predictive marker of disease activity in RA. CD147 block significantly decreased the chemotactic index of CD4+CD161+ cells induced by cyclophilin A (CypA). These results imply that the accumulation of CD4+CD161+ T cells in SF and their high expression of CD147 may be associated with CypA-mediated chemotaxis and contribute to local inflammation in RA.

2010 rheumatoid arthritis classification criteria: an American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism collaborative initiative.

TL;DR: This new classification system redefines the current paradigm of RA by focusing on features at earlier stages of disease that are associated with persistent and/or erosive disease, rather than defining the disease by its late-stage features.

CD161 is a marker of all human IL-17-producing T-cell subsets and is induced by RORC

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that umbilical cord blood naïve CD4+CD161− T cells, upon lentivirus‐mediated transduction with RORC2 can acquire the ability to express IL‐23R, IL‐1RI, and CD161, as well as to produce IL‐17.
