Circulating Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Metabolites and Its Potential Role in Rheumatoid Arthritis Pathogenesis. [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that affects synovial joints, leading to inflammation, joint destruction, loss of function, and disability.

Hyaluronan secretion by synoviocytes is mechanosensitive [PDF]
Hyaluronan (HA) is an essential component of synovial interstitial matrix and synovial fluid, but the link between its production and joint use is unclear. HA secretion is enhanced by joint distension in vivo, but direct proof that synoviocytes exhibit mechanosensitive HA secretion is lacking. We tested this in vitro.

The n-acetyl phenylalanine glucosamine derivative attenuates the inflammatory/catabolic environment in a chondrocyte-synoviocyte co-culture system [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent degenerative joint disease, still lacks a true disease-modifying therapy. The involvement of the NF-κB pathway and its upstream activating kinases in OA pathogenesis has been recognized for many years.

CD147 overexpression on synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthritis enhances matrix metalloproteinase production and invasiveness of synoviocytes [PDF]
AbstractMacrophage-like synoviocytes and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are known as the most active cells of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are close to the articular cartilage in a position enabling them to invade the cartilage. Macrophage-like synoviocytes and FLS expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their interaction has aroused ...

Rheumatoid synovitis is infiltrated by immune cells that interact with synoviocytes, leading to the pannus formation. Inflammation or cell interaction effects are mainly evaluated with cytokine production, cell proliferation or migration.

c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase in Inflammation and Rheumatic Diseases. [PDF]
The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family and are activated by environmental stress. JNK is also activated by proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF and IL-1, and Toll-like receptor ligands ...

Immunopathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory arthropathy. The majority of evidence, derived from genetics, tissue analyses, models, and clinical studies, points to an immune-mediated etiology associated with stromal tissue dysregulation that

Insulin Exacerbates Inflammation in Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes [PDF]
Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is considered the most frequent degenerative disease and is characterized by cartilage degradation and synovial inflammation. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) are vital to synovial inflammation in OA. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia (HINS) and has been ...

A plant-derived glucocorticoid receptor modulator attenuates inflammation without provoking ligand-induced resistance [PDF]
Background: Acquired resistance to glucocorticoids constitutes a major clinical challenge, often overlooked in the search for improved alternatives to classic steroids.

Simvastatin Induces Apoptosis of Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes [PDF]
Background: Statins (3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors) exert favorable effects on lipoprotein metabolism, but appeared to possess anti-inflammatory properties among others, as suggested by their ability to inhibit collagen-induced arthritis in mice.
