Background:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and T helper 17 (TH17) cells have been known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the interrelationship between ROS and TH17 remains unclear in RAObjectives:To explore whether ROS affect TH17 cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of RA patients, we analyzed ROS expressions among T cell subsets following treatment with mitochondrial electron transport chain complex inhibitors.Methods:Blood samples were collected from 40 RA patients and 10 healthy adult volunteers. RA activity was divided according to clinical parameter DAS28. PBMC cells were obtained from the whole blood using lymphocyte separation medium density gradient centrifugation. Following PBMC was stained with Live/Dead stain dye, cells were incubated with antibodies for CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD25. After fixation and permeabilization, samples were stained with antibodies for FoxP3 and IL-17A. MitoSox were used for mitochondrial specific staining.Results:The frequency of TH17 cells was increased by 4.83 folds in moderate disease activity group (5.1>DAS28≥3.2) of RA patients compared to healthy control. Moderate RA activity patients also showed higher ratio of TH17/Treg than healthy control (3.57 folds). All RA patients had elevated expression of mitochondrial specific ROS than healthy control. When PBMC cells were treated with 2.5uM of antimycin A (mitochondrial electron transport chain complex III inhibitor) for 16 h, the frequency of TH17 cells was significantly decreased.Conclusion:The mitochondrial electron transport chain complex III inhibitor markedly downregulated the frequency of TH17 cells in moderate disease activity patients with RA. These findings provide a novel approach to regulate TH17 function in RA through mitochondrial metabolism related ROS production.References:[1]Szekanecz, Z., et al., New insights in synovial angiogenesis.
