Popis: | Rheumatoid arthritis (RA is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by synovial hyperplasia and excessive mononuclear infiltration. Altered apoptosis was proposed as a possible mechanism for cell accumulation. In vitro experiments showed that monokines are able to inhibit synovial apoptosis in a dose dependent manner. In this study we aim to investigate synovial apoptosis with respect to disease duration, inflammatory cell type and monokines expression. |
