| Description | This study aimed to examine the role of CD70, which is highly expressed on fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. FLS isolated from RA (n = 14) and osteoarthritis (OA, n = 4) patients were stimulated with recombinant interleukin-17 (IL-17; 5 ng/mL) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α; 5 ng/mL) for 24 h. Expression of CD70, CD27/soluble CD27 (sCD27), and hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF-2α) was analyzed by RT-qPCR, flow cytometry, and ELISA assays, respectively. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression and cell migration were also examined. The HIF-2α inhibitor PT-2385 and CD70 inhibitor BU69 were used to specifically suppress these pathways. Stimulation with IL-17 and TNF-α significantly induced CD70 expression in RA FLS. Although the synovial fluids from patients with RA contained high levels of sCD27, surface expression of CD27, a ligand of CD70, was rarely detected in RA FLS. Cytokine-induced CD70 expression was significantly decreased following antioxidant treatment. Following HIF-2α inhibition, RA FLS had decreased expression of CD70 and ROS levels. Migration of RA FLS was also inhibited by inhibition of CD70 or HIF-2α. The surface expression of CD70 is regulated by HIF-2α and ROS levels and is a key contributor to cytokine-enhanced migration in RA FLS. |
