Mononuclear cells (MNC) in synovial fluids from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other arthropathies differ clearly from MNC in peripheral blood. Typically the ratio of CD4(+)-/CD8+ lymphocytes is inverted and the response to mitogens/cytokines (IL-1/IL-2) is impaired. Active TGF-beta (transforming growth factor beta) was found to account for these abnormalities, and the major isoform was identified as TGF-beta 2.
类风湿性关节炎和其他关节病患者滑液中的单核细胞(MNC)与外周血中的单核细胞明显不同。通常,CD4(+)/CD8+淋巴细胞的比例倒置,对丝裂原/细胞因子(IL-1/IL-2)的反应受损。研究发现,活性转化生长因子β(TGF-β)是导致这些异常的原因,其主要异构体被鉴定为TGF-β2。
