摘要
We report the expression on synovial cells of cell surface molecules known to be involved in T cell activation by antigen presenting cells. Normal human synovial fibroblasts and a human synovial cell line transformed with the SV40 large T antigen were used for in vitro stimulation studies with recombinant cytokines. We demonstrate an increase in MHC-A, B, C expression in normal synovial cells in response to recombinant interferon gamma (r/IFN), tumour necrosis factor alpha and beta (rTNFα and β and interleukin-1 (rlL-lα Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression was increased in parallel with MHC Class I. The combination of rγlFN and rTNFa was additive in its effect on ICAM-1 expression. Northern blot analysis suggests that ICAM-1 expression in synovial cells is controlled at the level of transcription. In contrast, MHC Class II (HLA-DR) was only significantly induced by rylFN. Other stimuli including interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin 6 (IL-6), granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) did not affect the expression of ICAM-1 or MHC Class I and II. Leucocyte function antigen 3 (LFA-3) expression was not affected by any of the stimuli tested. Immunoperoxidase staining of rheumatoid synovial tissue confirmed enhanced in vivo expression of ICAM-1 in rheumatoid arthritis. These changes are discussed in the context of T cell activation in inflammatory arthritis. © 1992 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
