Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether aquaporins (AQPs) are expressed in the synovial tissues of patients with OA and RA, and to examine the patterns of expression in patients with and without hydrarthrosis. METHODS: AQPs were detected in synovial tissue samples from patients with OA and RA using RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) from patients with OA and RA were cultured and stimulated with TNF-alpha. The expression of AQPs in FLSs was examined using RT-PCR and western blot analyses and the function of aquaglyceroporins was examined by a glycerol uptake assay. RESULTS: AQP1, -3 and -9 mRNAs were expressed in synovial tissues from patients with OA and RA. AQP1, -3 and -9 proteins were also detected by immunohistochemistry. AQP9 mRNA was expressed more strongly in the synovial tissues of OA patients with hydrarthrosis than those without. AQP9 mRNA and protein expression were strongly induced with TNF-alpha treatment in FLSs, whereas the expression of AQP1 and -3 mRNAs was not induced with TNF-alpha treatment. AQP9 as an aquaglyceroporin was induced by TNF-alpha. CONCLUSIONS: AQP9 mRNA was detected in synovial tissues from OA and RA patients with hydrarthrosis. AQP9 expression was strongly induced in FLSs with TNF-alpha. Although the functions of AQP1, -3 and -9 in synovial tissues remain to be elucidated, it suggested that AQP9 might be related to the pathogenesis of hydrarthrosis and inflammatory synovitis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
