Human Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes: HFLS, produce synovial fluid to lubricate joints.
Human Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes: HFLS
Description
Human Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes (HFLS) provide an excellent cellular model for studying the normal and pathological physiology of synoviocytes and development of joint diseases.
Normal HFLS from Cell Applications, Inc. have been used to examine:
- TNFα – mediated changes in gene expression
- TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) contribution to joint inflammation by inducing chemokines and matrix metalloprotease-9, suggesting TWEAK as a new therapeutic target
- The role of miR-124a in arthritis pathogenesis
- C/EBPβ regulation of metalloproteinases and ADAMTS family members in synoviocytes stimulated with IL-1β
- HMW-HA suppression of ADAMTS4 mRNA and protein expression via CD44, p38 MAPK and JNK pathways
- Anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic activity of various compounds, such as NF-κB inhibitors, AGIX-4207, HA–methotrexate conjugates and bucillamine
- Reactive arthritis triggered by chlamydial infection
- Mechanisms of arthritis-like syndrome in patients infected with chikungunya (CHIK) virus
- Use of Leukocyte-poor, RBC-free platelet-rich plasma in clinical orthopaedics, because leukocytes and RBCs cause synoviocyte death and proinflammatory mediator production
- Cartilage link protein and MAGP2 as markers to distinguish chondrocytes and synovial cells
- Creation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) by using the now classic “Yamanaka cocktail”, the discovery for which Dr. Shinya Yamanaka was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2012
- Causative agents, immunopathological mechanisms and signal transduction pathways leading to joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis
- The role of estrogen signaling in increasing inflammation
- Anti-inflammatory properties of herbal compound Sinomenine suggested for rheumatoid arthritis treatment
- Effects of extracellular matrix composition on cell attachment and migration relevant to T-cell function in inflamed tissues
- The role of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) in development of rheumatoid arthritis
- Activated expression of different forms of HERV, contributing to development of rheumatoid arthritis symptoms by different mechanisms
