Involvement of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has recently been demonstrated. In the present study, the regulation of IL-6 gene expression by glucocorticoids and IL-1beta in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) was investigated. Both synthetic and natural glucocorticoids, i.e., dexamethasone (DEX) and hydrocortisone (HC), respectively, concentration-dependently inhibited protein production and gene expression of IL-6 by human FLSs. The effect of DEX was dependent on de novo protein synthesis. DEX significantly reduced the rate of IL-6 gene transcription without affecting the stability of IL-6 mRNA. The IkappaBalpha pathway seemed not to be involved in DEX-mediated inhibition of IL-6 gene expression in IL-1beta-stimulated human FLSs. These findings suggest that glucocorticoids suppress IL-6 gene transcription by an as yet undefined mechanism.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007375	Interleukin-1	A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D011500	Protein Synthesis Inhibitors	Compounds which inhibit the synthesis of proteins. They are usually ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS or toxins. Mechanism of the action of inhibition includes the interruption of peptide-chain elongation, the blocking the A site of ribosomes, the misreading of the genetic code or the prevention of the attachment of oligosaccharide side chains to glycoproteins.
