PG - 10211-10217 LID - 19656 [pii] LID - 10.26355/eurrev_201912_19656 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in the apoptosis of synovial cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rats, and to explore the underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The apoptosis of the synovial cells in RA rats in the IL-1beta group and the control group was analyzed by scoring under an electron microscope. The expressions of cleaved-poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), PARP and anti-apoptosis gene products in synovial cells of IL-1beta treated RA rats were explored as well. Meanwhile, the expressions of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-xL, and Active-Caspase3 in the synovial cells of RA rats with IL-1beta treatment were evaluated by the Western blotting. To further clarify the relationship between IL-1beta and the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappaB) pathway in the synovial cells of RA rats, the expressions of NF-kappaB regulated the gene products of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), MMP-9, cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in synovial cells of RA rats after that we investigated the treatment with IL-1beta (was investigated). In addition, the expression of NF-kappaB in the synovial cells of RA rats treated with IL-1beta was determined. RESULTS: The results showed that, compared with the control group, IL-1beta treatment significantly increased the number of apoptotic cells. This meant that IL-1beta treatment could promote the apoptosis of the synovial cells (p<0.05). IL-1beta treatment significantly promoted the expression level of cleaved-PARP (p<0.05). However, it remarkably reduced the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL (p<0.05). Meanwhile, the level of the active-Caspase3 in the synovial cells of RA rats treated with IL-1beta was significantly enhanced (p<0.01). In comparison with the control group, the IL-1beta group exhibited significantly elevated expressions of NF-kappaB-regulated gene products in the synovial cells of RA rats (p<0.01). Besides, the positive markers of the activated NF-kappaB were detected in the synovial cells of RA rats in the IL-1beta group and the control group. The results demonstrated that they were mainly located in the nucleus of the IL-1beta group. CONCLUSIONS: IL-1beta can promote the apoptosis of the synovial cells in RA rats via the NF-kappaB pathway.
