Disease relevance of Synovitis

  • Chronic synovitis in gout simulating rheumatoid arthritis. Demonstration of bilateral popliteal cysts and wrist synovial corrugation [1].
  • However, unlike mice with null mutations in any of the components in the gp130 signaling pathway, gp130(DeltaSTAT) mice also displayed gastrointestinal ulceration and a severe joint disease with features of chronic synovitis, cartilaginous metaplasia, and degradation of the articular cartilage [2].
  • These results suggest that HTLV-I can infect synovial cells, resulting their active proliferation and may be involved in the pathogenesis of proliferative synovitis similar to that found in rheumatoid arthritis [3].
  • We conclude that there is a strong association between HLA B27 and chronic synovitis in Indian patients with severe haemophilia and screening in this population could allow treatment and prevention of the complication [4].
  • Increased levels of ICAM-1 transcripts were observed in the biopsy specimens obtained from AOSD patients with Still's rash or synovitis compared with healthy skin and patients with osteoarthritis [5].
 

High impact information on Synovitis

  • Thirty-six patients with primary osteoporosis were treated for up to six years with sodium fluoride, calcium supplements, and, in 24 patients, vitamin D. Major adverse reactions (synovitis, painful plantar fascial syndrome, recurrent vomiting, or anemia) occurred in 15 patients (42%) [6].
  • This mechanism is dependent on the signaling pathway intermediary myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), such that neither IL-1R nor MyD88-deficient mice developed visually detectable synovitis after transfer of arthritogenic sera [7].
  • GC+ synovitis had the highest levels of APRIL, produced exclusively by CD83+ DCs [8].
  • In contrast, inhibition of APRIL and BLyS in aggregate and diffuse synovitis left Ig levels unaffected and enhanced IFN-gamma production [8].
  • The study has important implications for understanding the role of OPN in rheumatoid synovitis and other inflammatory conditions [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Synovitis

  • These results indicate that, in chronic IgG-induced immune synovitis, anti-proteoglycan antibodies elicited are heterogeneous with regard to specificity, but a relatively large proportion predominantly recognized a portion of the proteoglycan molecule containing core protein and associated keratan sulfate [10].
  • c-myc proto-oncogene expression in hemophilic synovitis: in vitro studies of the effects of iron and ceramide [11].
  • The murine homolog of the interleukin-8 receptor CXCR-2 is essential for the occurrence of neutrophilic inflammation in the air pouch model of acute urate crystal-induced gouty synovitis [12].
  • The role of osmic acid in the treatment of immune synovitis [13].
  • Central role of complement membrane attack complex in monosodium urate crystal-induced neutrophilic rabbit knee synovitis [14].
 

Biological context of Synovitis

 

Anatomical context of Synovitis

 

Gene context of Synovitis

  • In contrast, extra-articular spreading of RA with nodule formation was typically associated with granulomatous synovitis [25].
  • These data suggest that VEGF plays a crucial role during an early stage of arthritis development, affecting both neovascularization and the progression of experimentally induced synovitis [26].
  • In follicular synovitis, IFN-gamma was the dominant cytokine, IL-4 was virtually undetectable, and IL-10 was abundant [25].
  • CONCLUSION: IL-18 augments monocyte activation induced by contact with activated T cells in RA synovitis, which is dependent on activation of the NF-kappaB and PI 3-kinase pathways [27].
  • The levels of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in the sublining layers correlated with the extent of macroscopic synovitis (P < 0.0005 and P < 0.005, respectively) [28].
