Thioredoxin domain containing 5 (TXNDC5) is highly expressed in synovial membranes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our study aimed to investigate the pathogenic role of TXNDC5 in RA.
PCR arrays, CCK-8 assays, flow cytometry, and transwell migration assays were used to analyze cultured rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASF).
Increased CXCL10 and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand levels were detected in RASF transfected with anti-TXNDC5 small interfering RNA (siRNA), and decreased expression was detected in RASF transfected with TXNDC5-expressing plasmids. Significantly attenuated RASF proliferation and migration, and increased RASF apoptosis, were observed in the siRNA-transfected RASF.
Downregulation of TXNDC5 could contribute to RASF antiangiogenic and proapoptotic features through the suppression of CXCL10 and TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand).
硫氧还蛋白结构域蛋白 5(TXNDC5)在类风湿关节炎(RA)的滑膜组织中高表达。本研究旨在探讨 TXNDC5 在 RA 中的致病作用。
采用 PCR 阵列、CCK-8 检测、流式细胞术和 Transwell 迁移实验分析培养的类风湿关节炎滑膜成纤维细胞(RASF)。
用抗 TXNDC5 小干扰 RNA(siRNA)转染的 RASF 中检测到 CXCL10 和肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体(TRAIL)水平升高,而用 TXNDC5 表达质粒转染的 RASF 中表达水平降低。在 siRNA 转染的 RASF 中,RASF 的增殖和迁移明显减弱,而凋亡增加。
下调 TXNDC5 通过抑制 CXCL10 和 TRAIL(肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体),可能有助于 RASF 抗血管生成和促凋亡的特性。
