Leukocyte-endothelial interaction mediated by adhesion molecules may play a role in the ingress of inflammatory cells into the rheumatoid (RA) synovial tissue (ST). A number of these molecules have been shown to be up-regulated in the inflamed compared to normal ST. We studied the distribution of two members of the CD66 carcinoembryonic antigen adhesion molecule family, as well as that of CD31, an antigen structurally related to CD66, on various cell types in the RA compared to osteoarthritic (OA) and normal ST. Immunoperoxidase histochemistry was carried out using monoclonal antibodies to CD66a, CD66b, and CD31. This study was performed on ST from 10 patients with RA, 10 with OA, and 4 normal individuals. CD66a, and CD66b were expressed on RA and OA ST myeloid cells but not on normal ST lining cells and interstitial macrophages, suggesting that these antigens may be specific markers of diseased compared to normal ST macrophages (P < 0.05). CD31 was present on more RA and OA than on normal ST macrophages. Also, CD31 was present on most RA, OA, and normal ST endothelial cells. Our results indicate that the expression of CD66a, CD66b, and CD31, members of the immunoglobulin superfamily of adhesion receptors, is up-regulated on cells of myeloid origin in the inflamed compared to normal ST. These results suggest that the CD66 antigens and CD31 may be involved in the adhesive events in the inflamed synovium.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010003 Osteoarthritis A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.

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
D013583 Synovial Membrane The inner membrane of a joint capsule surrounding a freely movable joint. It is loosely attached to the external fibrous capsule and secretes SYNOVIAL FLUID. Synovium,Membrana Synovialis Capsulae Articularis,Membrane, Synovial,Membranes, Synovial,Synovial Membranes
D015214 Antigens, Differentiation, Myelomonocytic Surface antigens expressed on myeloid cells of the granulocyte-monocyte-histiocyte series during differentiation. Analysis of their reactivity in normal and malignant myelomonocytic cells is useful in identifying and classifying human leukemias and lymphomas.

D015703 Antigens, CD Differentiation antigens residing on mammalian leukocytes. CD stands for cluster of differentiation, which refers to groups of monoclonal antibodies that show similar reactivity with certain subpopulations of antigens of a particular lineage or differentiation stage. The subpopulations of antigens are also known by the same CD designation.

D019408 Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 A cell adhesion molecule, composed of a series of Ig-like domains, and expressed on virtually all MONOCYTES; PLATELETS; and GRANULOCYTES. PECAM-1 is highly expressed on endothelial cells and concentrated at the junctions between them. It is essential for TRANSENDOTHELIAL MIGRATION of leukocytes and removal of apoptotic cells by PHAGOCYTES.
