Interactions of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily members B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) with their receptors-transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI) and B cell maturation molecule (BCMA)-on B cells play an important role in the humoral immune response. Whereas BCMA is restricted to B cells, TACI is also expressed on activated T cells; we show here that TACI-Fc blocks the activation of T cells in vitro and inhibits antigen-specific T cell activation and priming in vivo. In a mouse model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease that involves both B and T cell components, TACI-Fc treatment substantially inhibited inflammation, bone and cartilage destruction and disease development. Thus, BLyS and/or APRIL are important not only for B cell function but for T cell-mediated immune responses. Inhibition of these ligands might have therapeutic benefits for autoimmune diseases, such as RA, that involve both B and T cells.

D007596 Joints Also known as articulations, these are points of connection between the ends of certain separate bones, or where the borders of other bones are juxtaposed. Joint
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D001172 Arthritis, Rheumatoid A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Etiology is unknown, but autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated. Rheumatoid Arthritis
