Decoy Receptor 3

To investigate DcR3 mRNA levels of peripheral blood monocytes in rheumatoid arthritis(RA)，and analyzes the correlation between the DcR3 Levels of Peripheral Blood and the Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient. The expression levels of DcR3 mRNA in peripheral Blood monocytes of 82 RA patients and 53 healthy controls were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The expression levels of DcR3 mRNA of active stage in RA patients were higher than that of remission stage in RA patients and healthy controls(P<0.05); The correlationships between DcR3 mRNA levels and active renal score (DAS28)show positive correlation. The expression levels of peripheral blood DcR3 does significant increase in RA active patients and it is closely related with the activity of the disease which suggesting that DcR3 migh involved in the pathological process.

Objective To compare plasma endothelin (ET)-1 level and ET-1 mRNA level in peripheral blood monocytes of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Design Endothelin-1 mRNA level in peripheral blood monocytes and plasma ET -1 level were studied in 30 HD patients, 15 CAPD patients, 20 chronic renal failure patients not being dialyzed, and 20 normal healthy controls. Hemodialysis patients were dialyzed three times per week with a bicarbonate dialysate. Different types of dialyzer membrane, viz., cellulose triacetate, cuprophane, poly-sulfone, polyacrylonitrile, and ethylenevinylalcohol were used in 8,6,6,5, and 5 patients, respectively. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients were dialyzed with four daily exchanges of a 2-L dialysate containing glucose at a concentration of 1.5% to 2.5%. Results Higher levels of ET -1 mRNA in monocytes were observed in HD patients than in CAPD patients (p < 0.01), chronic renal failure patients (p < 0.01), or normal healthy controls (p < 0.001). The level of ET -1 mRNA in monocytes at the end of HD was not significantly higher than that at the start of HD. ln addition, these mRNA levels in HD patients showed littledifference with different types of dialysis membrane. Plasma ET -1 level in HD patients (10.2 ± 2.4 pg/mL) was also higher than that in CAPD patients (7.8 ± 1.6 pg/mL, p < 0.01), in chronic renal failure patients (4.8 ± 1.2 pg/mL, p < 0.01), or in normal controls (2.6 ± 0.8 pg/mL, p < 0.001). Conclusion Dialysis itself did not significantly affect ET -1 mRNA levels in monocytes. Chronic stimulation of peripheral blood monocytes may be associated with higher levels of ET -1 mRNA and plasma ET -1 in HD patients than in CAPD patients.

Abstract Background The inflammatory cascade in the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovium is modulated by a variety of cytokine and chemokine networks; however, the roles of IL-26, in RA pathogenesis, are poorly defined. Here, we investigated the functional role of interleukin-26 (IL)-26 in osteoclastogenesis in RA. Methods We analyzed levels of IL-20 receptor subunit A (IL-20RA), CD55, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL) in RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) using confocal microscopy. Recombinant human IL-26-induced RANKL expression in RA-FLSs was examined using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Human peripheral blood monocytes were cultured with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and IL-26, after which osteoclastogenesis was evaluated by counting the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated cells. Additionally, osteoclastogenesis was evaluated by monocytes co-cultured with IL-26-prestimulated FLSs. Results The expression of IL-20RA in RA-FLSs was higher than that in osteoarthritis-FLSs. Additionally, in IL-26-pretreated RA-FLSs, the expression of IL-20RA (but not IL-10 receptor subunit B) and RANKL increased in a dose-dependent manner, with IL-26-induced RANKL expression reduced by IL-20RA knockdown. Moreover, IL-26-induced RANKL expression was significantly downregulated by inhibition of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and NF-κB signaling. Furthermore, IL-26 promoted osteoclast differentiation from peripheral blood monocytes in the presence of low dose of RANKL, with IL-26 exerting an additive effect. Furthermore, co-culture of IL-26-pretreated RA-FLSs with peripheral blood monocytes also increased osteoclast differentiation in the absence of addition of RANKL. Conclusions IL-26 regulated osteoclastogenesis in RA through increased RANKL expression in FLSs and direct stimulation of osteoclast differentiation. These results suggest the IL-26/IL-20RA/RANKL axis as a potential therapeutic target for addressing RA-related joint damage.

Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a pathological feature that manifests early in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The disruption of mitochondrial dynamics contributes to mitochondrial morphological and functional impairments. Our previous study demonstrated that the expression of genes involved in amyloid beta generation was altered in the peripheral blood of AD patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to further investigate the relative levels of mitochondrial genes involved in mitochondrial dynamics, including mitochondrial fission and fusion, and mitophagy in peripheral blood samples from patients with AD compared to healthy controls. Methods: The mRNA levels were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Gene expression profiles were assessed in relation to cognitive performance. Results: Significant changes were observed in the mRNA expression levels of fission-related genes; Fission1 (FIS1) levels in AD subjects were significantly higher than those in healthy controls, whereas Dynamin- related protein 1 (DRP1) expression was significantly lower in AD subjects. The levels of the mitophagy-related genes, PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), were significantly increased in AD subjects and elderly controls compared to healthy young controls. The mRNA levels of Parkin (PARK2) were significantly decreased in AD. Correlations were found between the expression levels of FIS1, DRP1 and PARK2 and cognitive performance scores. Conclusion: Alterations in mitochondrial dynamics in the blood may reflect impairments in mitochondrial functions in the central and peripheral tissues of AD patients. Mitochondrial fission, together with mitophagy gene profiles, might be potential considerations for the future development of blood-based biomarkers for AD.
