OBJECTIVE: To examine the expression and regulation of chemotactic factor, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha) by fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), monocytes and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) isolated from the synovial fluid (SF) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. METHODS: Monocytes or PMN obtained from RA SF were co-cultured with unstimulated semiconfluent RA FLS. Culture supernatants were assayed for MIP-1alpha by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of MIP-1alpha mRNA and protein was also determined by Northern blot analyss and immunohistochemistry respectively. RESULTS: Interaction of activated leucocytes with FLS synergistically increased MIP-1alpha expression and secretion via a mechanism mediated by beta2-integrin/ intercellular adhesion molecule 1. CONCLUSION: MIP-1alpha expression within inflamed joints appears to be regulated not only by inflammatory cytokines but also by the physical interaction of activated leucocytes and FLS, and plays a crucial role in the progression and maintenance of RA synovitis.
