摘要

Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a novel proinflammatory cytokine that was recently found in synovial fluids and synovial tissues from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To investigate the role of IL-18 in rheumatoid synovitis, the levels of IL-18 and serum amyloid A (SAA) were measured in synovial fluids from 24 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 13 patients with osteoarthritis.(OA).,The levels of IL-18 and SAA in the synovial fluids were elevated in RA patients. In contrast, the levels of IL-18 in synovial fluids from. OA patients were significantly lower compared to those of RA patients. SAA was not detected in synovial fluids from. patients. The expression of SAA mRNA in rheumatoid synovial cells was also examined. SAA4 mRNA, which was constitutively expressed by rheumatoid synovial cells, was not affected by IL-18 stimulation. Although acute phase SAA (A-SAA, SAA1 + 2) mRNA was not detected in unstimulated synovial cells, its expression was induced,by IL-18 stimulation. By immunoblot, we demonstrated that IL-18 induced the SAA protein synthesis from rheumatoid synovial cells in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicate a novel role for IL- 18 in rheumatoid inflammation through the synovial SAA production. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc., All rights reserved. [References: 16]
