Abstract:
:Heterogenous population of cells, including macrophages, synoviocytes and lymphocytes play important roles in the immunopathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). T cells, however, seem to be a common thread throughout the disease process. In inhibiting T lymphocytes, cyclosporin A presents a more selective form of therapy in RA. The immunosuppressive action of cyclosporin is primarily due to the inhibition of antigen/mitogen-induced secretion of lymphokines at the transcriptional level from T cell. The inhibition of Ca2(+)-dependent signaling pathways by cyclophilin-cyclosporin complexes in T cell appears to shut down lymphokine-gene transcription.
