Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between citrullinated proteins in synovial tissue with peripheral anti-citrullinated peptides autoantibodies (ACPA) and peptidylarginine deiminase (PADI) PADI2, PADI3, and PADI4 messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions in synovial tissue and fibroblast-like synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Eleven RA and 12 osteoarthritis (OA) patients who underwent knee replacement surgery were studied. We detected citrullinated proteins in synovial tissue homogenates by western blot and serum ACPA by ELISA to anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies, and PADI2, PADI3, and PADI4 mRNA expressions in synovial tissue and in fibroblast-like synoviocytes. Patients with high amount of citrullinated proteins in synovial tissue (3 out of 7) have high levels of anti-CCP in serum. However, in the remaining 4 patients, the amount of synovial citrullinated proteins was minimal and their sera showed low levels of anti-CCP antibodies. Furthermore, we observed an increase in PADI2 mRNA expression in RA synovial tissue compared with OA patients (p = 0.02). We detected PADI3 mRNA in the synovial tissue of RA patients, but not in the tissue of OA patients. Even though fibroblast-type synoviocytes in RA are not the main source of PADs in the synovial tissue, they express PADI2 mRNA moderately, PADI4 mRNA weakly, while there is no detectable expression of PADI3 mRNA. In conclusion, we found a variety of citrullinated proteins in the synovial tissue of RA patients and the amount of such proteins is related to serum concentration of anti-CCP antibodies. We identified the presence of PADI3 mRNA expression in synovial tissue and PADI2 and PADI4 mRNA expressions in fibroblast-like synoviocytes from patients with RA.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
