ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cel s 2 (TREM-2) is highly expressed throughout the synovial tissue in active rheumatoid arthritis patients, but the role of TREM-2 in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis stil remains unclear.OBJECTIVE:
To explore the TREM-2 expression in the synovial tissue of col agen type II-induced arthritis rats.METHODS:
The col agen-induced arthritis models were established in rats. The activity indicators and pathological changes of arthritis synovial were dynamical y observed. The mRNA levels of TREM-2, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-10 were detected in synovial tissue of rats by RT-PCR. The protein expression and location of TREM-2 were measured with western blot assay and immunohistochemistry, respectively. RESULTS ANDCONCLUSION:
At day 13 after immunization, the paws of model rats appeared red and swel ing, the arthritis index scores were increased (P<0.01). At day 19-25 after immunization, the inflammation reached the peak. Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that, the synovium of col agen-induced arthritis rats were proliferated and were infiltrated by inflammatory cel s, cartilage was destroyed. Compared with the control group, the expression of TREM-2 mRNA and protein, the mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor-αand interleukin-1βin synovial tissue of the model rats were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while interleukin-10 mRNA expression was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Experimental findings indicate that, TREM-2 is a crucial inflammatory regulator and the increasing expression of TREM-2 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of col agen-induced arthritis.
