摘要

Based on pristane-induced arthritis (PIA), we found that T cells mediate TLR3 overexpression in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). The aim of this study is to determine key factors by which T cells induce TLR3 expression. Rat FLS were co-cultured with pristane primed T cell conditioned medium (PPT medium), and TLR3 expression of FLS was significantly induced. TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-17 were dominantly expressed in PIA T cells. The overexpression of TLR3 and its related genes in FLS co-cultured with PPT medium could be reduced through blocking TNF-α pathway. CD4+ T cells from spleen of PIA rats showed increase of TNF-α secretion. P38 MAPK and NF-κB were activated in FLS by PPT medium, and their inhibitors decreased TLR3 upregulation significantly. Finally, TNF-α induced TLR3 expression was confirmed in human synovial cells.
