In temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis, knowledge is limited about the source of the inflammatory mediators. The aim of this study was to investigate the immunohistochemical role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the development of the antigen-induced arthritis of the rabbit TMJ.
Unilateral TMJ arthritis was induced in 28 adult rabbits. From 6 h to 6 weeks after induction of arthritis, the topology of TNF-alpha and IL-8 was observed.
Positive reaction for TNF-alpha of synovial cells was observed within 3 days after induction and at 3 weeks after induction. TNF-alpha positive vascular endothelial cells and chondrocytes were identified throughout the observation period. IL-8 was detected only during the acute stage.
The cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-8 were observed in specific cells depending on the stage. TNF-alpha was particularly related with angiogenesis and cartilage destruction and IL-8 was involved in the acute stage of inflammation.
在颞下颌关节(TMJ)关节炎中,关于炎症介质来源的知识有限。本研究的目的是调查肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和白细胞介素-8(IL-8)在兔TMJ抗原诱导性关节炎发展过程中的免疫组织化学作用。
在28只成年兔中诱导单侧TMJ关节炎。在关节炎诱导后6小时至6周,观察TNF-α和IL-8的拓扑结构。
诱导后3天内及诱导后3周观察到滑膜细胞TNF-α阳性反应。在整个观察期内均鉴定出TNF-α阳性血管内皮细胞和软骨细胞。仅在急性期检测到IL-8。
细胞因子TNF-α和IL-8在特定细胞中依阶段而出现。TNF-α尤其与血管生成和软骨破坏有关,而IL-8参与炎症急性期。
