PG - 72-8 LID - 10.3109/14397595.2014.900847 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: To determine the mechanism underlying hypertrophic synovium in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: We examined micromass cultures of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) stimulated with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and/or transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta). The hypertrophic architecture of the micromasses, expression of phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K) isoforms, and persistent activation of PI3K-Akt pathways were investigated. FLSs transfected with siRNA were also examined in the micromass cultures. RESULTS: The combination of TNFalpha, PDGF, and TGFbeta (TPT condition) induced obvious hypertrophic architecture of the intimal lining layer in FLSs in micromass cultures, and was accompanied by upregulated expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3), Cadherin-11, and PI3Kdelta. In monolayer FLSs, the TPT condition enhanced the expression of PI3Kdelta and persistent activation of the PI3K-Akt pathway. Knockdown of PI3Kdelta significantly inhibited the formation of the hypertrophic synovial lining in the TPT condition. CONCLUSIONS: These results collectively indicate that inducible PI3Kdelta plays a crucial role in persistent activation of PI3K-Akt in FLSs, and in the formation of a hypertrophic synovial lining. PI3Kdelta may be an alternative treatment target for the regulation of proliferative synovium in RA.
