BACKGROUND: Imbalance between apoptosis and autophagy in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) is one of the pathogenic mechanisms responsible for their abnormal proliferation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methotrexate (MTX) demonstrated limited efficacy in amending this imbalance in fluid-derived (fd)-FLS. The active compound of black tea Theaflavin 3,3'-digallate (TF3) may be effective in restoring apoptosis-autophagy imbalance in (fd)-FLS. The combined effect of MTX + TF3 upon the same is yet to be elucidated.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of MTX + TF3 on fd-FLS to induce apoptosis and inhibit autophagy through Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress-mediated pathways.
METHODS: FLS from synovial fluid of 11 RA and 10 osteoarthritis patients were cultured after treatment with MTX/TF3 or a combination of MTX (125 nM) and TF3(10 µM) and the following parameters were evaluated. C-reactive protein, cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6), angiogenic markers were quantified by ELISA. fd-FLS viability was determined by MTT assay and apoptosis by flow cytometry. ER stress markers were estimated by RT-PCR (IRE1A, spliced-XBP-1) and immunoblotting (Grp78, Hsp70, CHOP, HIF-1α). Immunoblot studies were done to evaluate apoptotic (Bcl-2, Bax, Caspases) and autophagic (Beclin1, LC3b, p62) proteins.
RESULTS: MTX (IC25) and TF3 (IC50) both in single doses could down-regulate the levels of pro-inflammatory and angiogenic markers. Combinatorial treatment modulated autophagosomal proteins in fd-FLS and induced apoptosis by regulating ER stress response.
CONCLUSION: Disruption in homeostasis between apoptosis and autophagy in fd-FLS might be an underlying phenomenon in the progression of pathophysiology in RA. Co-administration of MTX + TF3 successfully restored the homeostasis by inducing apoptosis.
