Cell-cell interactions in synovitis: Interactions between T lymphocytes and synovial cells
Mechanisms whereby T lymphocytes contribute to synovial inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis are poorly understood. Here we review data that indicate an important role for cell contact between synovial T cells, adjacent macrophages and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). Thus, T cells activated by cytokines, endothelial transmigration, extracellular matrix or by auto-antigens can promote cytoki...
متن کاملFibroblast biology: Effector signals released by the synovial fibroblast in arthritis
There is mounting evidence indicating that the synovial fibroblast is a direct effector of tissue injury and matrix remodeling in inflammatory synovitis. Through the elaboration of effector signals including cytokines and chemokines, mesenchymal cells stimulate or suppress inflammation via autocrine and paracrine mechanisms. Synovial fibroblasts are the principal cells mediating joint destructi...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells: Interactions with Immune Cells and Immunosuppressive-Immunomodulatory Properties
Abstract Background and Objectives Recently, mesenchymal stem cells have attracted much attention in regenerative medicine and cell-based therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells are used in regenerative medicine mainly based on their capacity to differentiate into several cell lineages, low immunogenicity, and in particular their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive-immunomodulatory properties. ...
متن کاملHow T-lymphocytes are activated and become activators by cell-cell interaction.
Immunological descriptions support the role of direct contact between T-lymphocytes and monocytes at the site of inflammatory lesions. The following will therefore focus on the role of direct contact between stimulated T-lymphocytes and monocytes in the production of cytokines and cytokine inhibitors, as well as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) ...
متن کاملClinical Relevance of Cytokines Gene Polymorphisms and Protein Levels in Gingival Cervical Fluid from Chronic Periodontitis Patients
Background: Cytokines are suggested to play a role in periodontitis. Objective: To determine and compare the levels of Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples amongst healthy individuals and those with chronic periodontitis. Further to compare the GCF cytokine levels in three genotype classes defined by the respective gene p...
