PG - 2433-2448 LID - 10.1007/s10753-022-01703-3 [doi] AB - Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, debilitating systemic disease characterized by chronic inflammation and progressive joint destruction. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) are one of the most important players in the pathophysiology of RA, acting like tumor cells and secreting inflammatory cytokines. Previous research has shown that cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) inhibits cancer cells and may have anti-inflammatory properties. This study examined the effects of argon plasma jet-produced CAP on the suppression of invasion and inflammation caused by cultured RA-FLS. The findings revealed that CAP reduced cell viability and elevated the percentage of apoptotic RA-FLS by producing reactive oxygen species. Carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) staining confirmed that CAP could decrease the proliferation of RA-FLS. Furthermore, CAP effectively reduced the production of inflammatory factors (e.g., NF-kappaB and IL-6) as well as destructive factors like receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and matrix metalloproteinases-3 (MMP-3). These data suggest that CAP could be a promising treatment for slowing the progression of RA by reducing tumor-like features and inflammation in RA-FLS. CI - (c) 2022.
