Abstract:
:An in vitro skin explant model was originally developed to predict the occurrence and severity of acute graft-versus-host disease in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants. In previous studies we reported that peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with rheumatoid arthritis were able to induce graft-versus-host-like histopathological changes when co-cultured in vitro with autologous skin explants. The aim of the present study was to verify if observed skin damage was really of autoimmune origin. Using a 51chromium release cytotoxic assay we found that peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients lyzed autologous keratinocytes (n=5 patients with rheumatoid arthritis) but not autologous lymphoblasts (n=4 with rheumatoid arthritis, n=8 patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis). No specific lysis of keratinocytes or lymphoblasts was observed in healthy controls (n=15). We hypothesize that autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells might recognize similar autoantigen(s) expressed on epidermal cells, which gives rise to an autoimmune response in the synovium.
