Abstract

To examine the expression of ADAM-17 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) biological fluids and the role it plays in monocyte adhesion to RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs). ADAM-17 expression was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) in serum from normal (NL) subjects, osteoarthritis (OA) patients, and RA patients. We also analyzed the correlation between ADAM-17 and disease activity score 28 (DAS28) in RA. To determine expression of ADAM-17 in RA synovial tissues (STs) and RA FLS, we performed immunofluorescence analyses. To determine the role of ADAM-17 in RA, we transfected RA FLSs with small interfering RNA (siRNA) against ADAM-17. THP-1 adhesion to ADAM-17 siRNA-transfected RA FLSs was measured. Finally, adhesion molecules on ADAM-17 siRNA-transfected RA FLSs were measured using cell surface ELISAs. ADAM-17 in RA serum was significantly higher than that in NL and OA serum and correlated with DAS28. ADAM-17 in RA synovial fluids was higher than that in OA synovial fluids. ADAM-17 was expressed on RA cells lining STs and RA FLSs. THP-1 adhesion to ADAM-17 siRNA-transfected RA FLSs was decreased compared with that to control siRNA-transfected RA FLSs. ICAM-1 on TNF-α-stimulated ADAM-17 siRNA-transfected RA FLSs was significantly decreased compared with that on control siRNA-transfected RA FLSs. These data indicate that ADAM-17 is expressed on RA STs and plays a role in RA inflammation by regulating monocyte adhesion to RA FLSs. ADAM-17 might be an important inflammatory mediator in inflammatory diseases such as RA.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 August 2018.
All research outputs
#4,838,109
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Arthritis Research & Therapy
#1,028
of 3,381 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#86,518
of 341,958 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arthritis Research & Therapy
#41
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,381 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,958 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 68 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
