RESUMO

Expanded populations of CD4+ T cells lacking the co-stimulatory molecule CD28 (CD4+CD28null T cells) have been reported in several inflammatory disorders. In rheumatoid arthritis, increased frequencies of CD4+CD28null T cells in peripheral blood have previously been associated with extra-articular manifestations and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, but their presence in and contribution to joint manifestations is not clear. In the present article we investigated the distribution of CD4+CD28null T cells in the synovial membrane, synovial fluid and peripheral blood of RA patients, and analysed the association with erosive disease and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies. CD4+CD28null T cells were infrequent in the synovial membrane and synovial fluid, despite significant frequencies in the circulation. Strikingly, the dominant TCR-Vbeta subsets of CD4+CD28null T cells in peripheral blood were often absent in synovial fluid. CD4+CD28null T cells in blood and synovial fluid showed specificity for HCMV antigens, and their presence was clearly associated with HCMV seropositivity but not with anti-citrullinated protein antibodies in the serum or synovial fluid, nor with erosive disease. Together these data imply a primary role for CD4+CD28null T cells in manifestations elsewhere than in the joints of patients with HCMV-seropositive rheumatoid arthritis.

RESUMO

Camptothecin, a specific inhibitor of topoisomerase I, caused erythroid differentiation of the human leukaemia cell-line K562, as assessed by benzidine staining at 70 h recovery following a 60 min treatment of the cells. Differentiation was confirmed by increased levels of epsilon-globin and gamma-globin mRNA in the treated cells and was accompanied by down-regulation of c-myb mRNA. Synchronisation of K562 cells by non-cytotoxic doses of methotrexate increased the differentiation induced by camptothecin, without affecting the camptothecin-induced inhibition of cellular proliferation. Camptothecin induction of differentiation and inhibition of proliferation may occur by independent mechanisms.
