Anemia is a frequent manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis, with a probably multifactorial etiology. We investigated the effect of peripheral blood mononuclear cell supernatants (PBMCS) from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients on hematopoietic colony formation in vitro, by using a methylcellulose assay. PBMCS from patients suppress in vitro erythroid (BFU-E), mixed-lineage (CFU-GEMM) and to a lesser degree granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) progenitors. PBMCS from anemic RA patients were more suppressive for BFU-E than those from non-anemic patients. Addition of antibodies to tumor-necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) almost completely reversed the inhibition of BFU-E and CFU-GEMM, but had little effect on the CFU-GM colony formation. Antibodies to interferon-gamma (IFN gamma) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) were not effective. The above data suggest that PBMCS from RA patients suppress in vitro erythropoiesis via the production of TNF alpha; a pathogenetic role for TNF alpha in the anemia of RA can be implied.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules. Mononuclear Leukocyte,Mononuclear Leukocytes,PBMC Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells,Peripheral Blood Human Mononuclear Cells,Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell,Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells,Leukocyte, Mononuclear
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D004920 Erythropoiesis The production of red blood cells (ERYTHROCYTES). In humans, erythrocytes are produced by the YOLK SAC in the first trimester; by the liver in the second trimester; by the BONE MARROW in the third trimester and after birth. In normal individuals, the erythrocyte count in the peripheral blood remains relatively constant implying a balance between the rate of erythrocyte production and rate of destruction. Erythropoieses
D006098 Granulocytes Leukocytes with abundant granules in the cytoplasm. They are divided into three groups according to the staining properties of the granules: neutrophilic, eosinophilic, and basophilic. Mature granulocytes are the NEUTROPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and BASOPHILS. Granulocyte
D006412 Hematopoietic Stem Cells Progenitor cells from which all blood cells derived. They are found primarily in the bone marrow and also in small numbers in the peripheral blood.
